Hello everyone,

I hope I posted this topic in the right section, even though it is not about the floor plan of an entire house.

We are nearing the completion of the planning phase for our house. The exact layout of the master bedroom with an en suite shower room is still undecided. I’m hoping for some creative ideas from this forum 😉
  • The attached image shows the given, north-oriented floor plan – one grid square equals 10cm (4 inches) (room width 4 or 4.2m (13 or 14 feet), room length approximately 7.25m (24 feet)).
  • The door on the west side leads to the living area, the door on the southeast side leads to the hallway (the staircase comes up from the lower floor and ends in front of the bedroom door, the east side of the stairwell is glazed).
  • Both doors are flexible and can be removed if desired, although of course one door must remain to allow access.
  • The position of the 1m (3 feet) wide floor-to-ceiling north window, including the offset in the façade, can still be adjusted, but both elements should basically be retained. For aesthetic reasons, the offset should not be shifted too far east, otherwise the exterior proportions will no longer look right.
  • No additional windows on the north side are desired.
  • The large window on the east side is also flexible. Since this side offers a nice view of nature, the room should ideally open up in that direction.
  • This is an upper floor with a flat roof, so skylights are possible and desired 🙂
  • We prefer an open concept rather than the classic layout with a bedroom including a walk-in closet and a separate bathroom with shower and toilet.
  • A bathtub is available in the family bathroom, so it is not needed here.

PS: I can provide the current plan if needed. I haven’t attached it to avoid imposing any fixed conditions.

Reminds me of a rodent maze with all those interconnections. I like ypg’s idea with the non-angled layout the best.

Hello,

here is option 1 with a separate toilet:

Arguments such as separate ventilation/heating naturally speak in favor of a closed bedroom, as in option 2 (here the door from the dressing/bath area can also be made as a swing version and thus also sealed).

Best regards!

Hello,

In my opinion, the "dressing rooms" in common houses are at most walk-in closets. A proper dressing room should have a table, a bench, and plenty of space. We lack the necessary space at the required location, so it will just be a few wardrobes 🙂

We generally have no objections to an open floor plan, but the toilet should actually be fully closable and sealed.

Here is variant 2 again with the corresponding doors:

If you swap the toilet cubicle and the wardrobe cubicle, then it becomes a shoe.

It would look like this then. That was actually the original idea, but I find it a bit awkward that when passing from the bedroom to the dressing area, you’re walking right into the side wall of the wardrobe. Although with a “proper” door, that’s different than with a sliding door.

Floor plan of an apartment: bedroom with bed and two chairs, kitchen with cabinets.

Of course, this is also due to the top-down view, so here it is shown in an isometric view as well:

In my opinion, starting to design such ensuite modules as a black box only during the fine-tuning phase is just as counterproductive as beginning kitchen planning in a 20 m² (215 ft²) heptagonal kitchen-living area at the last minute.

Oh, that’s a bench!
I’ve been wondering all along what that cyan-colored rectangle is that you keep drawing there 🙂

Here’s another suggestion: you could also take a shower in front of the great east-facing window… that way you get more out of it than just looking from the bed after waking up… and the neighbor does too 😉

Cyan? - "Magenta" is the name of Riff Raff's sister 🙂
