Please Help Plan my Bedrooms/Bathroom Layout

last month
last modified: last month





Hi everyone!

Long story short, the city has denied my plans for a major renovation due to encroachments, easements, and city bylaws. Now I'm stuck with the original exterior walls and can only move the interior walls around. Since I can't add square footage, I must drop from 3 bedrooms to 2 (not concerned with resale).


Additional info, as requested:

- The left side of the image is the front of the house

- The stairs are being reconfigured and moved due to being only 24" wide so the previous layout is irrelevant, other than center wall

- Grey shaded areas are slanted ceilings (8' high down to 5' in a run of 5') but no lost floor space

- All windows are same distance from exterior walls


Needs/wants:

- I really don't want my bed (queen size) at the front of the house due to noise

- The window placement has very little room for movement (hip roof)

- Bathroom to be moved towards back of house, plumbing should be near center wall

- Walk-in shower is a necessity - no bath/shower combo

- Built-in linen closet (not in the bathroom)

- I cannot stress enough how much I despise bi-fold doors!


I've seen you all work some serious magic here and I hope you'll be able to help me too :)
