Hello forum,
I’m a bit frustrated with the bathroom design. I bought a house that’s still in the shell stage. I find the bathroom layout difficult to arrange. I only want a shower; a bathtub isn’t necessary (unless there is really extra space). And, of course, a washbasin.
The floor plan is already built as shown in the plans. Changes are possible but come with additional costs. So I prefer to avoid them.
Besides the bathroom issue, I’m also unsure where to put the washing machine. It’s planned for the ground floor in the storage/utility room. It would be more practical to have it upstairs with the bedrooms, where the laundry is generated. Then it would need to go into the bathroom. But I don’t really know how or where (and washing machines are so ugly…).
I hope someone here has an idea. I’m currently stuck on the (washing machine) problem.
In case you’re curious about the colors on the ground floor plan: red indicates the kitchen with the dining table to the left, blue is a sofa with a table and an armchair, gray marks some smaller pieces of furniture, and the yellow circle is my music spot (guitar).

Bertram10023 Sep 2019 13:16Ok, I will try putting the washing machine upstairs (maybe separating it with a small partition or something). The 168 cm (66 inches) shower will be too small. I would need to install a door, which I’d rather avoid (due to extra plastering work). The shower should be about 180 x 90 cm (71 x 35 inches) unless I’m mistaken, to function as an open shower without water splashing everywhere.
Then I will do some rearranging. I’m keeping the toilet separate (it might become a co-housing house or family home. I think having a separate toilet is not a bad idea).

The floor plan has already been built as specified in the plan. Even the non-load-bearing walls? Where will the installations go (into chases – I don’t see any drywall partitions installed)?

Unfortunately, this often happens with mobile devices, where people accidentally give only one star as a rating… I would even say the rating is completely useless because, based on my several years of experience, more accidental than intentional votes are included.

They build somewhat differently there, and wiring can sometimes be installed surface-mounted. By the way, with copper it actually looks quite neat. We don’t have to export some of our partly unusual standards.Bertram100 schrieb:

But several people told me that a shower should be at least 1.50 m (5 feet) to remain open. That’s supposedly the minimum size. Since we never reached that, I quickly dismissed the idea, but maybe someone here can provide some input.
@hampshire ... how do you arrive at the roof slope? @Bertram100 could you please comment on this.
Otherwise, I agree with @wrobel ... shower at the top of the plan and washbasin at the bottom, but with a washing machine and dryer included. You can easily build something with a depth of 70cm (28 inches) so that a sliding door can be installed in front of the washing machine and dryer.
