I am doing an attic / loft apartment. the roof slopes at 41 degrees. The countertop will sit on top of base cabinets flush to the roof line.

The sink has to go in this space and there is a velux skywindow above it.

If I were to install a regular sink fixture it would hit the sheetrock / roof line. I am thinking anout a sink sideways with the fixture on the side. I could also mount the fixture at the bottom of the skywindow but cannot figure out how to make the bend in the spout. Does anyone have any other idea(s)?

Attached is a picture of looking into kitchen. We want to park the cabinet tight to the right side against the roofline for space consideration.

It would be tight if you put it on the side of the sink. Also - you would only probably want a single sink - unless you had a wand type. Something to think about is it will always be in the way when trying to move stuff in and out of the sink unless you have it on the counter close to a wall so you won't be using the area behind it much. Anyway here is a little drawing that I threw together showing a side elevation and a plan view.

I guess its going to come down to either placing the faucet in the counter or in the bottom of skywindow frame. I am leaning towards the counter top as you drew it. All fixtures eventually leak so it will damage the countertop and I can deal with that down the road.
Does anyone know if a spout can be bent?

You could probably get a copper spout or have some type K copper threaded to fit a faucet and custom bend it to where you need it. It would be a conversation piece for sure.
