Help with floorplan for Laundry Room - Office - Guest Half-bathroom
Comments (27)Do you have an elevation drawing of that stairwell in the living area? Seems the space under the stair landings could be better incorporated in your effort to locate the powder room, or at least the hot water, accessing from the closet by the entry and moving the sloset to the living room side. On another subject, am I mis-reading or are there bi-fold doors by the tub in the main bath? Looks like there are windows in the WIC. I would rather have windows in the bath and walk through the closet to get there than have to walk through the bath to retrieve clothing; not convenient if there is someone using the bath. That pantry at the foot of the stairs looks like a good spot for a stacking WD. I'd want it configured to vent out an exterior wall, using pullout pantries in the kitchen so that space could be the laundry. But first I'd move that big bath's footprint to the deck end of the space so the closet could be in the master....See MoreBathroom Floor Plan Help!
Comments (26)Just a suggestion for re-arranging so you have a full wall in the dining that is not broken up by the entry into a bedroom. You can have the entry from the mudroom or from across the peninsula. I'd also consider moving the door for the master down more towards the corner for more privacy from the living room. The other thing I would consider for your kitchen is an island to create a walkway from the mudroom into the house so people doesn't spread into the kitchen and then remove the peninsula part. You'll get more use out of your cabinets this way too and it will feel less tight against the dining room....See MoreMaster bathroom floorplan help needed.
Comments (19)I think you have bigger problems with this house than just the bathroom. The best houses orient the public rooms towards the south for the best passive solar heating and cooling The best houses are L, U, T, H, or I shaped. The best houses are only one to two rooms deep. And covered lanai, porches, garages, etc count as rooms in this case. The best houses make sure kitchens have natural light, meaning windows so one doesn't have to have lighting 24/7 to use the kitchen. (And no, dining areas with windows 10' or more from the kitchen will not allow for natural light.) The best houses make sure all public rooms and bedrooms have windows on at least two walls. The best houses do not if possible put mechanical rooms, pantries or closets on outside walls The best houses keep public and private spaces separate. The best houses do not have you walk through the work zone of the kitchen to bring laundry to the laundry room. The best houses do not have the mudroom go through any of the work zones of the kitchen. The best houses do not use the kitchen as a hallway to any other rooms. The best houses do not put toilets or toilet rooms up against bedroom walls or dining areas. The best houses do not have walk in closets too small to stand inside. The best houses have an organizing “spine” so it’s easy to determine how to get from room to room in the house and what makes sense. So how many of these best practices does your house have?...See MorePrimary Bathroom Floorplan help
Comments (7)We have a recently added master bath and I am a big fan of the toilet room (w/pocket door) - provides just a touch of privacy and separation when both of us are getting ready for bed/brushing teeth - Unless you have an avid bather - I would opt for just a lovely shower, maybe the smaller bath footprint would enable you a layout to get a window in the closet and in the bath? We added a skylight in our bath at the last minute and it's a wonderful source of natural light...See MorePam
