Comments (7)Fred S, thank you. I will verify that and thank you for the snippet -- Architect did have these same dimensions but with a continuous wall vs. partial railing I added. Much appreciated! We may have to scrap the dumbwaiter per the requirements regarding the door and I am ok with that. That toilet will be a wall mount and I'm looking at TOTO which now has a standard 4x4 framing mount (vs. previous 6" wall framing requirement). I did play with an outswing door that could work with the 12' door opening, and aligning looks ok with the metal rail from stair landing to the bathroom wall. The intent was to create some privacy as you enter, but given it's a standard door, there would be a lock -- great input for things to think about. Very many thanks!...See MoreBathoom layout nightmare
Comments (30)This is so encouraging, I have a similiar situation and have to remodel my bathroom but the nightmare is two-fold. I can’t seem to arrange everything in a way so I can get a wheelchair around. My bathroom is 9’ x 9-7” with a tub and surround, a water closet (toilet), double vanity, a small standing shower and an entrance much like yours. I must remove all the walls and make it an accessible bathroom. I’d like to make it as pleasant and comfortable as possible for my wife, hopefully a place for her to sit, do her makeup and enjoy it, it’s her space. I imagine a design as close to an everyday master bath yet functional. I’m anticipating my condition will progress so I’ll have to sell one day. But at the moment I’m able to use my right side, no use of left though, arm/hand/fingers and Ive got to tear this bathroom out ASAP. If anyone can help I’d appreciate It. Thanks....See MoreBathroom Remodel Layout Dilemma. Lots of windows. Suggestions Needed!
Comments (7)If I am counting the squares in your diagram correctly, you have less than two feet between the wall of the toilet room and the shower, so you cannot expand the shower to the left. I wonder at the diagram, however, because the shower is shown extending right up to the edge of the window, yet that is obviously not true in your photo, where you say the bit of green wall between the window and the shower is about 9 inches wide. That indicates that the bathroom does not match the diagram, to me. Maybe someone else can help you interpret this. I don't know why folks are not joining in this discussion. Since you do not mind losing the door to the closet, you can consider making the shower the same width it is now, but extend its length of that wall as far as you want to go. Of course, the window will have to be modified to have it in the shower, or it will need to be removed. If you don't want a 7 ft long shower, you could add a bump-out or cupboard inside your closet. It seems that no matter where you put your shower, it is going to have a window inside of it if you want it to be bigger or if you don't want to move the toilet room. Having that little room in the center of your bathroom severely limits your options. If you simply extend the shower out toward the closet door, you can have a vanity starting at the window edge where the tub is now, extending toward the shower as far as you wish to go. In front of the windows, you could put in a seat, or get a large plant on a stand. The wall between the window and closet could hold hooks for robes or towels. I would think about ending the vanity before the shower, though, and having towel hooks or a towel warmer there....See MoreCMA67 A
