ᐅ Single-Family Home – Floor Plan Bathroom – Master Bathroom

Hello,

We are planning to build a single-family house and the bathroom layout is causing us some headaches.
Number of people: 2 adults + 1 child (possibly 2 children in the future)
The shell dimensions of the bathroom on the upper floor are currently: 3.48 m x 3.66 m (11 ft 5 in x 12 ft)
The door is fixed. The window position is still flexible and can be adjusted.

We have currently created the following three designs.
One T-shaped solution and two other variants.

Personally, I prefer Variant 1. My partner prefers Variant 2.

Maybe you can provide feedback or have better ideas.

Requirements:
* Washbasin at least 120 cm (47 inches) wide
* Walk-in shower at least 90 cm (35 inches) wide (shower glass door will be installed)
* Ideally, the toilet should not be directly visible

The sanitary fixtures and furniture are only schematic.

Thanks a lot!

T-solution

A few notes:
This is not a T-solution but rather an L-solution.
It is done to create a larger walk-in shower, meaning the shower is not separated in the usual way but extends along the full length, with a side door if a door is needed at all.
Keep in mind that if you want 90cm (35 inches) width inside the shower, the rough building measure (RBM) needs to be about 100cm (39 inches).
Bathtubs are only convenient if they come with a shelf, either a 10cm (4 inch) ledge along the wall or platforms on both sides at the same height. In larger bathrooms or when there is enough space, individual pieces of furniture such as stools can be used to furnish the room, but for bathrooms like this one, a certain uniformity helps to create a calm atmosphere.
70x180, is that a custom size? I find 70cm (28 inches) too narrow.
Standing in the middle of the bathroom might not be comfortable either. It could feel cramped for other family members and cause disturbance or bumping.
Where will the drain go? You need to know what is underneath the bathroom. It is always a mistake to discuss only one room assuming the rest is unchangeably perfect.

I would probably arrange it like this or something similar

Hello,

You’re right, I forgot to mention the soil stack. Ideally, it would be located at the top right corner of the building. The top left corner is also possible. Below that is either the guest toilet or a storage room, which shouldn’t be a problem.

Regarding the partial wall for the bathtub and the 70cm (28 inches) size, I believe both can still be adjusted in all designs and shouldn’t pose any obstacles.

What speaks against option 1?

I meant an L-shaped layout (I made a typo). Would this be feasible with the given clearances? I am concerned it might be too tight near the toilet because of the cabinets.
Maybe the walls (including tiles), all roughly assumed to be 20cm (8 inches) thick, are overestimated.

Both are hypothetical measurements – what is the reason for that?
By the way, both overall floor plans for the entire floor are missing.

It's true, I forgot to mention the wastewater drain pipe. Ideally, it would be at the upper right corner of the building. Upper left is also possible.

What does the plan say about this: where are the soil stacks / drain lines?
It is not advisable to leave decisions like this to the contractors by chance. A missing or poor quality design phase 5 is the root of all problems (and an expensive mistake).

We are approaching the detailed construction planning phase. These are approximate dimensions. Thank you for your contribution.
