Question
In our new house there are several openings (photos are attached), and I would like to know on which of these openings a mezuzah must be affixed. In addition, there is a laundry room intended only for a washing machine; it has a tzurat ha-petach (doorframe structure) as well as a door, but its size is 2.23 meters by 1.15 meters. Is such a laundry room also obligated in a mezuzah?

Answer
Shalom u’vracha
Only one picture was received, of an opening to stairs going down to a basement. According to Halacha, a mezuzah must be affixed there.
In a laundry room of this size, a mezuzah should be affixed without a berachah (blessing), since it does not have an area of 4 by 4 amot (square cubits).
