Show at least the entire rooms of the spaces it effects

Who will be using that bathroom?

If it will be a bunch of growing kids, who might rush out of the bathroom and sprint down the stairs, then I would keep that wall set further back ... it will buy you a few feet to avoid getting run over.

Too many doors in too small a space. Let's have some breathing room pls.

Thanks for the input everyone but none if it answers my question. The space is already going to be made bigger. I just want to know if we should leave the jaunt or straighten the wall.

Don’t straighten the wall.

Leave the jog. It gives you more "breathing space" at the landing.

The original owners of our house pushed back a couple of bedroom walls to make the landing more spacious, instead of having the doors so close to the stairs. We are the third owners, and we are so glad the original owners did that. It’s one of the things on my “wish list” when we were househunting, an upstairs hall where we wouldn‘t be bumping into one another, and we do not miss the space in the bedrooms and closets at all.

I did not answer your question because you have not provided the information I requested. An answer effects other spaces you do not show. Your solution may make for a nice landing yet screw up a bedroom; it is already negatively effecting the walk-in closet.

Thanks @RappArchitecture and @bpath. I think we'll leave it as is. We've managed to also significantly reduce the size of the kid's bathroom so the landing is now MUCH roomier.

@Mark Bischak, Architect Thanks for trying to help and I understand your point. I was hesitant to show more than I did because doing so tends to end up in discussions about how the plan sucks and needs to be completely redone instead of just answering my question (this has been my experience on here). The only thing the jaunt affects is the size of my walk-in and it was so long to begin with we won't miss the lost space.

You're probably right, but you will never know what somebody will come up with.

Keep the jog, it will feel better especially if you don’t miss the space elsewhere. I can’t tell what Mark’s version does to the rest of the plan, but it looks more inviting.

True but a home is not developed in a vacuum one room or element at a time they all interrelate.

@millworkman Absolutely. I understand that but we are very happy with the other rooms. A lot of thought went in to how they are arranged, how they will be used, etc and I REALLY wanted an answer about that particular wall. Just trying to keep the conversation focused. :)

Yes, but not where you show it.
