ᐅ Bathroom Design: Combining a Guest Bathroom with a Children's Bathroom?

Hello,

some of you may have followed the planning thread. Since we don’t want the guest toilet to be a walkthrough to the utility room, nor place an unused circulation space between the utility room and the guest toilet, we will access the utility room in the traditional way through the kitchen or net floor area.

This provides a bit more space for the bathroom layout, but it’s not entirely clear how it can be best used. We initially planned the guest toilet rather simply and minimally as an internal bathroom. Now we are considering using the space to plan the guest toilet as a separate children’s bathroom.

The rough dimensions of the children’s bathroom would be 1.70 m (5 feet 7 inches) wide—as it is currently in our apartment—and the master bathroom would be 2.20 m (7 feet 3 inches) wide (you can compare this room width to Horbach’s sample bathroom Samoa). Both rooms would be 3.70 m (12 feet 2 inches) long.

The children’s bathroom will have a space-saving bathtub installed “slightly angled,” while the master bathroom will feature only a walk-in shower.

Would this concept be feasible?

Good luck

I find the development of your floor plan fascinating. It looks different each time, yet somehow always similar.
Just a quick question: Are two small bathrooms better than one large one? Would it be worth considering reducing the size of the utility room a bit to give one of the bathrooms more space? Possibly even moving the washing machine into the kids’ bathroom so you don’t have to carry laundry through all the rooms, including the kitchen?

The key specifications haven’t changed. Everyone else here wants to remodel, but I prefer to optimize what we already have. ant11 would charmingly call it ‘room cubing’ ^^

The idea of a separate kids’ bathroom came from saving walking distance by changing the utility room’s entrance, which would create a niche in the larger bathroom. (see attachment)

Your idea isn’t bad, but I don’t know where I could place the washing machine in the kids’ bathroom. I’m sure you already have some ideas for that.

I quickly put your idea into practice. It definitely still needs some optimization, but I like the basic concept.

Well, how should I put it, this thing will never be a Picasso – my only goal was to somehow manage the everyday pile of laundry. But I must admit, I’m starting to doubt my idea again. Where exactly is one supposed to store the laundry piles until it’s their turn? I don’t think this will work either.

Everyone usually has a laundry basket in their room; there is no need to store them centrally.
