Hello!
We are building a house and are currently planning the bathroom. We would like to have a washing machine and dryer on the upper floor, so both machines are integrated into the bathroom, but arranged in a way that they can be easily hidden. I have uploaded the proposal from our architect. We really like it, but I wanted to share it here for discussion to see if we might have overlooked any details that the experts here might notice :p
The shower is approximately 1.5m by 1m (5 feet by 3 feet), and the bathtub is small but sufficient for both of us (both under 1.7m (5 feet 7 inches) tall :rolleyes 🙂. Storage space is planned in the shelf next to the bathtub (40cm (16 inches) deep), above the two machines, and below the sink. The heated towel rail behind the sink will not be installed; instead, there will be regular towel holders.
Oh, and we have a knee wall (dwarf wall) just over one meter high. The door, window, and connections are still flexible. One of my initial ideas was to have the door open outwards to prevent collisions with the shower, which would be possible without any problems. In theory, the bathtub could also be pushed slightly further into the roof slope to gain more floor space?
I look forward to comments on this possibly somewhat unconventional bathroom design.
Best regards,

Thank you for your response!
We have also considered the noise factor. However, the washing machine is definitely going to be on the upper floor, and whether it’s placed behind a separate door in the bathroom (which will be a proper, solid, fully closing double door) or in its own room shouldn’t make much difference in terms of noise. Besides, the washing machine will run at times when hardly anyone is using the bathroom, certainly not for relaxing. The bathtub is used very rarely, more like once in a blue moon, but not regularly.
What do you think about the direction the door opens and shifting the bathtub further into the angled corner?

According to the current plan, about 1.1m (3.6 ft)You have to weigh this for yourselves: if you’re tall, leave it as is; if you’re broader, move the tub further back 😀
