As part of our house planning, we are still figuring out how to arrange the main bathroom on the upper floor. The sloped roof with a pitch of 42 degrees and a knee wall height of 1.43 m (4 ft 8 in) on the inside faces north and includes a skylight. We need the asymmetrical hexagonal bathtub because it slopes gently on one side (which we want). So far, we have not been able to find a symmetrical hexagonal tub that offers a gently sloping side. Currently, we are considering the following options:
Option 1:
Option 2:
Option 3:
Option 4:
Which option do you like best? I would appreciate your opinions, advice, and possibly other suggestions.
Option 1:
- Suggestion from our bathroom/plumbing studio
- Advantages: relatively open and well-lit bathroom with a usable niche (for laundry basket, built-in shelves) in the northwest behind the shower
- Disadvantage: narrow access to the niche
Option 2:
- Like option 1 but with the tub rotated
- Advantage: better access to the niche
- Disadvantage: the floor-to-ceiling window would need to be moved because the tub is too close to the window
Option 3:
- Advantages: open floor plan, tub placed in the niche (which we like)
- Disadvantage: Would this feel too dark or cramped at the washbasin area because of the shower wall and despite the skylight behind it?
Option 4:
- Like option 2 but with the toilet rotated (now located under the sloped roof)
Which option do you like best? I would appreciate your opinions, advice, and possibly other suggestions.

baumann201323 Sep 2014 17:24Thanks in advance to all of you! Option 5 seems to be leading.
That’s true. It’s hard to judge if the passageway is too narrow. However, we have very little room to move the shower and toilet towards the sloped ceiling because I’m almost 2 meters tall (6 ft 7 in) and still need to be able to stand at or in front of the toilet.
Do you think so? Once you’re past the shower, you can turn left without having to pass directly behind the person using the washbasin.
But a “standard” bathtub placed in the corner still takes up a lot more floor space. Do you have a larger bathroom?

With option 5, there’s again the problem that everyone has to pass by the washbasin.
