Hello, I would like to have a walk-in closet connecting the bedroom to the bathroom. I find this very practical and modern. Unfortunately, my partner is completely against it because he thinks that if children use the bathroom, it could get noisy.
I need arguments against this concern. Aren't two doors enough for sound insulation?

Thank you very much for the great answers. So, noise can be avoided.
He is also bothered by the fact that there are two doors in the bathroom, which is too many. But I believe this issue can be resolved. If anyone has good floor plans related to this, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

schnizzel8 Feb 2018 13:29So, we are currently brainstorming a lot about our upper floor.
The problem with our layout is the access to the roof terrace.
I’ve attached a picture for you (2018_02_08).
The bathroom and dressing room are now facing south, which honestly doesn’t bother me too much.
Initially, we planned it as shown in the second image (Plan_Alt). However, having the terrace access through the children’s room was really bothersome. We also didn’t want the open space (gallery), so we switched the sides of the rooms (image: Bad_zu_klein). As the name of the image suggests, though, the bathroom felt too small and cramped for us there.
Maybe seeing the different options will be helpful for you.

j.bautsch8 Feb 2018 13:38I think having two doors in the bathroom is a major problem. I experienced this once in a hotel (and I was only there with my husband), and we found it terrible. Having to close two doors all the time is just not acceptable.
I believe that accessing the bathroom and bedroom through the walk-in closet is the most practical solution for us. The walk-in closet then acts somewhat like an airlock or hallway. You go from the bedroom through the closet into the bathroom, back through the closet to, well, get dressed, and then out.
If I were to build a house, I definitely would not have an interior bathroom.
Regarding the orientation: who needs a bedroom facing south? It just heats up unnecessarily.

Sorry, this last version with the small internal bathroom and access from the master bedroom, passing the entire bed through the dressing area and then into the bathroom ... no, that just doesn’t work.
What is the problem with the original plan? Instead of an open space, just a small bathroom. And position the walls for the master bedroom and child’s room 2 better, more at right angles.
If necessary, you could also take a bit of space from child’s room 1 for the “public” access to the rooftop terrace.
Or reconsider the entire layout together with the ground floor. The staircase might then be located elsewhere.
When do you expect to start using the rooftop terrace?
