Spanish term or phrase: LOGIA
Es un término que se utiliza en Chile, para designar el lugar donde está ubicada la lavadora. Necesito saber si la logia es un cuarto separado, una parte de la cocina, un lugar fuera de la casa, o cualquiera de ellas y cual sería su mejor traducción. Muchas gracias.

Una chilena me dio esta definición: Logia esta al lado de la cocina es un patio cerrado con muros y techo ventanas sin vidrio. Está la lavadora, un lugar para guardar los utensilios de limpieza (escoba, etc) calentador del agua, bombona de gas, quizás el lugar donde duerme el perro y/o gato. Así que he optado por "utility room" en lugar de "laundry"
Gracias!

I don't know where it would be located in the Chilean use, but in any case it's called the laundry in English...

Wikipedia says:

Laundry can be:

items of clothing and other textiles that require washing
the act of washing clothing and textiles
the room of a house in which this is done

Alternatively you can call it the "laundry room"
