Hello everyone,
We are currently planning a guest toilet in a new build and would appreciate some advice on the implementation.
In our initial design, the guest toilet was planned to be 174cm (69 inches) long and 131cm (52 inches) wide. However, the designer has included a service shaft inside the toilet (about 20cm (8 inches) wide), which reduces the length to approximately 150cm (59 inches), see attached "Variant 1".
We find the toilet a bit too small now. We would like to move the shaft to the right side of the wall and make the toilet wider. The adjacent cloakroom would become smaller as a result, but I think the toilet is more important here since it is used quite often. The main living area is on the ground floor.
I have also attached the variants 2, 3, and 4 that I consider reasonable. In all of these cases, the toilet would be 174cm (69 inches) long and, including the shaft (20cm (8 inches)), 150cm (59 inches) wide.
The shaft is shown as the dashed bar in the images.
Our favorite is variant 4.
What do you think?

What do you think?
- Are the dimensions sufficient for a guest toilet?
- Which variant would you prefer, or do you have other suggestions?
@K a t j a .. the original width of the toilet is 131 cm (52 inches), and I don't think it's necessary to make the room wider.
@wesson76 ... the shaft at the top of the plan in version 1 was designed by the contractor. What is supposed to be inside it? What comes from above?
You could also place the toilet by the window and the washbasin at the top of the plan in the room. Then the toilet door, opening outward, would be opposite the toilet, and the door frame would also take up some space in front of the toilet.

If the shaft reduces the entire room width by 20 cm (8 inches), I would also consider making the room a bit wider. 130 cm (51 inches) is a good dimension. Anything down to 115 cm (45 inches) is still manageable, but that starts to feel quite cramped, in my opinion. However, I would definitely plan to fit a 150 cm (59 inches) wide wardrobe into the cloakroom. I would cancel the wall recess for this on the left side of the plan right away, so not a single centimeter is wasted there.The current plan looks like this. Shaft to the right, 150x174cm (59x69 inches), possibly 140x174cm (55x69 inches) might also be sufficient, corner toilet.
@K a t j a My wife wants a built-in wardrobe, hence the wall enclosure.
@kbt09 If I remember correctly, the space is also intended for the ventilation system components.

@kbt09 If I remember correctly, the equipment for the ventilation system is supposed to be installed there, among other things.So you’re probably not completely free in choosing the location of the shaft, right?X

I’m always amazed 😉
