Layout help? X-post w/ bathrooms
Comments (4)Thanks mtnrdredux . I will try the room planner. The small w/c was one of my concerns with this proposal. If I made one of those doors a shower, I'd have no room for closet space at all, that's the only issue. I don't need a lot of space since we only live here during the winter, but it is the master bedroom and bath so I don't want to make the closet unreasonably small. What about this as an option Kind of a take-of on this picture: The wall of closets would go on the right side. Toilet room in one of the 4 ft boxes and walk-in shower in the other....See MoreBathroom layout help needed - 7 x 11
Comments (9)I have a bit of a personal emergency going on right now (my coffee cup is almost empty) so I only have time for a short post... These changes are just for the back half of the room, the shower/tub area. Have you considered making the back half of the room a wet room to hold both the tub and shower? Something along the lines of this: Referencing the photo above, your tub would be on the left side, behind the pony wall. If you put the shower head on the back wall, due to the 50" plus depth of the shower you'd have minimal overspray or rebound exiting the wet space. You could omit all of the glass for now to save on your existing budget and add it later if you felt the need. As an alternative you could take that wet room idea and rotate the tub within it as desired. Example, you could orient the long axis of the tub left-right with the tub against the left wall, with the shower tucked in behind the tub. You walk between the tub and your window to get to the shower in back. The "wet room" shower construction would be fairly straight forward. I would recommend you use a sheet membrane to waterproof the walls and floor, it's a few extra dollars, but it'll give you excellent moisture control within the space. Up front, sheet membranes seem like more money and labor, but in a lot of ways they save you in the long run. More coffee. Emergency averted. So one more drawing: Again, the front of the room is the same to minimize plumbing reroutes. This rotates the tub and moves it against the left wall as described in the alternative wet room scenario, but it gets rid of the wet room idea. You'd have about 30" of walk space between the tub and the window. To keep things open and to have a wider shower you could partition the shower and tub spaces with a glass panel, that would keep the spaces more open visually. If you wanted shower privacy, then make it a true partition wall between the shower and tub....See MoreMaster Bathroom Layout 6 x 14 Help Please
Comments (60)I have truly appreciated all your help in getting our project off the ground. Although it is the holiday tomorrow, we haven’t heard from our architect since last Thursday. We originally engaged our architect in February, and it will have been 5 months in the design phase of a 500 sf addition, which basically adds a master bed and bath. For context, it was supposed to take 4 weeks to get through design and on to construction documents. Instead, it has taken us 5 months. It took 4 weeks to provide an initial 2-story design which we liked, then 4 weeks to realize that he hadn’t accounted for the city setback and redesign a 2-story we didn’t like, 3 weeks to deliver a 1-story design without a setback (but that didn’t have a layout that worked), 2 weeks to redraw a drawing that I sent over. I pretty much thought we were done on May 25 and off to construction documents, but used all the extra time this past month to get the bathroom right. Is this typical of the design process? It seems to be taking longer than anticipated, given the scope of work. I still don't think we are on to construction documents, and he indicated this could take another 3 weeks. Appreciate your thoughts on whether this experience is common....See More5x7 bathroom layout help
Comments (9)If you replace the tub with a shower wouldn't that be big enough if what you have been using? We are redoing our bath - about the same size. Current shower is curved corner unit about 31x34 and works just feels snug. Considering a 48x31 shower not curved, if we can clear the toilet, so we can put in shelving with the rest of the space. Need somewhere for towels. Or go to the wall and be the same space as a tub like you had. Decisions.......See MoreRelated Professionals
