front elevation and bathroom help
Comments (21)I would want the pantry door closer to the kitchen proper. I think it could easily be moved to the left. I am bothered by the way the different rooms shoulder into each other on the right in the Den/Master Bath/Master Bedroom complex: The den has a clipped corner entry and a bite taken out of it. I would want to resolve the bite taken out of the corner with a built in. I don't like corner entries, particularly when they show up singly in an entire floorplan (Its the only angle in the public part of the house). It's bias, but I would probably square up that corner and put the door on one wall or the other (or get rid of the bite and leave the angle. Same with the master bedroom. There is a half-vestibule at the entry and I would either want to make a vestibule that contained the room doorswing entirely or just pull the door up even with the wall and create more hallway outside. Everybody everybody puts in those big bathtubs in the window and the vast majority of people do not use them *over *the *life* of *the *house very much. A dozen people will come out of lurkdom to say how much they love their garden tub and spend hours in it every day just to contradict me, but the design and building community has done studies/surveys that show that over time these do not get a lot of use once the novelty has worn off. If you need to cut square footage, I would probably rework the bathroom to make it a bit smaller and put in a conventional tub and a large shower like you have, but tighten up the floorplan a bit. The bath/closet complex is bigger than any other space in the house save the great room, it looks like....See MoreHelp! Bathroom remodel dilemma.
Comments (8)So here's my advice: A window in a shower area is ALWAYS trouble. Even if you moved the plumbing to the other end you would have a window in your shower. If your house isn't masonry on the outside (brick, block, stucco) - I would look at moving the window as someone else mentioned. I've even completely removed a window in a bathroom when there was no other option. You should be clear though about current code for your clearance because when you do a big change like that, you have to conform to the new code. As a new homeowner, you want to pick your battles. This might be a bigger battle than you intended for the payoff -- esp if there are more pressing issues....See MoreDesign Dilemma for bathroom wet room
Comments (1)Hire a K&B designer if you don’t have dimensioned drawings, elevations, selection boards, and section details. A 60-80K Bath like you are describing requires Professional involvement from the planning stage forward....See MoreBathroom Design Dilemma
Comments (2)How about this: Install an awning window (hinged at the top) which swings out so that it does not intrude into the room. Place the bathroom's entry door (from the foyer) as close as possible to the pantry with the hinges on the left so the door opens against the wall shared with the pantry. Place the toilet on the wall opposite the door and next to the window. You can use a normal-height toilet because the toilet is not under the window. (A Toto Drake elongated toilet is 28" deep so I guess you'll have enough space in front of it in this 4' wide bathroom). Place the vanity to the left of the toilet (i.e., across from the door). Be sure the vanity is not too deep so the door does not hit it when open. -- amateur...See MoreHALLETT & Co.
