My mom gutted her bathroom and has this big plan to add a stackable washer and dryer. She left on vacation and is bugging me to look at the plumbing. So the washer and dryer is going on the exterior wall a few feet from the sink which is plumbed with copper piping and the drain uses abs 2". My mother wants all the pipes hidden in the wall for aesthetics. I'm thinking I can get a T joint remove a section of the drain pipe and insert the joint to connect the washer drain pipe to and the sink. My only concern is this drain actually goes across the floor and connects to the shower and the other bathrooms tub then drain I think in the kitchen sink. Not sure what's practical. Please help me!

a washing machine creates a 'suds pressure zone'
you will/may have an issue with the shower if it remains connected within said zone
the areas within the 'brackets' are the suds pressure zones below or downstream from any washer connection
what your mother 'wants' may not be practical within her budget
y'all NEED a licensed, bonded, insured plumber ON SITE to draw and file plans for an actual PERMIT
