narrow guest bathroom layout help please!
Comments (4)Would you essentially just be getting new fixtures if you kept it as is? They would almost have to grandfather it then: if not it would mean that you couldn't replace a broken toilet in an old house. According to International Building Code, a toilet and a sink can have overlapping clearances, so part of the knee space for a toilet can extend under the sink (9 inches, I think). And if you did 30" on center for the toilet you would have 15" on one side and 15" + 12" on the other, so the sink could be on that side. (However, you may be required to put the toilet 36" on center which would give you 18" on one side and 18" +6" on the other)...See MoreHelp with Bathroom Layout with Universal Design?
Comments (0)We are planning a remodel of a first floor bath, that will now be a mudroom/bathroom when using a small bedroom adjacent to the current bath. I'm using this beginning layout, which shows the bedroom that will remain, the middle space that will be a mudroom and exit to the backyard/garage and the bathroom space that we will be working with is the top room on the drawing with two windows and a radiator on the Backyard/West side of the drawing. As you can see, the hallway entrance from the Dining Room, is narrow and we can get a wheelchair through there, but need room in the projected mudroom to turn to enter the bedroom and bathroom doorways. I think there is enough room there to do that. The doorway to the bathroom is 36" wide. The mudroom will have a stacking washer/dryer and hopefully other cabinetry to accommodate vacuum, broom, laundry basket, etc. We're thinking that there can be either a store bought bench or built in bench under the window in the mudroom extension facing the exit door. And hooks on the wall behind that door. I'd like to plan an attractive bathroom space, that allows for the extra space of a wheelchair, with room under the sink, next to the toilet for transfer and entry into a curbless shower. The window that faces the garage in that bathroom can be replaced with a taller awning window. All the windows are 35" wide double hung at the moment. Any suggestions will be appreciated....See MoreHelp with Guest & Master bathroom layout / design
Comments (26)Mrs Pete! You little devil! I've been called worse, but not since school ended two weeks ago. Seriously, I was glad to be helpful. After looking at the full-house layout, I have two pieces of advice: - Beware over-improving the bathroom. This is a small house with small bedrooms. It feels like a house in which a simple 3-piece bath would be appropriate in the master. Not what you want to hear, but I think it's solid financial advice. - Second, bummer, but I don't see any better options for the laundry, and everything I drew was predicated on moving the laundry elsewhere /having that bit more space. This pix below is a nice idea ... but do you have the space for it? Someone help me here ... a curb-less shower must slope 1/2" per foot /requires 4' of space. At least it's sloping away from the tub. This type of shower is expensive for a new build ... extremely expensive as an addition to an existing house ... and essentially impossible if you have a slab foundation (do you know what type of foundation you have?). The bathroom, as it exists now, is 6'4" across ... so 4' for the slope leaves 28" for the tub and the entrance to the shower. You could use a shorter piece of shower glass, but that would leave you with trip hazzard in the spot where the floor transitions. You could do this WITH A CURB. It would eliminate the slope problems, and without the clawfoot tub, you're eliminating the problems of cleaning around the tub....See MoreNeed bathroom layout and design help/advice/referrals!
Comments (1)Here’s a pic of the space - originally a bedroom that will be converted to an en-suite main bath. The window is awesome, but are removing it and extending that wall out to absorb a small “patio” area (it’s great for letting light into this room and hallway, but that’s about it). Would plan to add a skylight in that window area instead. The overall footprint available for the bathroom is 16’ L x 11’ W. The door will go on the side the “photographer” was standing, and we’re hoping to create a little closet that side as well (ie, between the bathroom wall and bedroom area the “photographer” is standing in)....See MoreGN Builders L.L.C
