Hello forum,
I’m a bit frustrated with the bathroom design. I bought a house that’s still in the shell stage. I find the bathroom layout difficult to arrange. I only want a shower; a bathtub isn’t necessary (unless there is really extra space). And, of course, a washbasin.
The floor plan is already built as shown in the plans. Changes are possible but come with additional costs. So I prefer to avoid them.
Besides the bathroom issue, I’m also unsure where to put the washing machine. It’s planned for the ground floor in the storage/utility room. It would be more practical to have it upstairs with the bedrooms, where the laundry is generated. Then it would need to go into the bathroom. But I don’t really know how or where (and washing machines are so ugly…).
I hope someone here has an idea. I’m currently stuck on the (washing machine) problem.
In case you’re curious about the colors on the ground floor plan: red indicates the kitchen with the dining table to the left, blue is a sofa with a table and an armchair, gray marks some smaller pieces of furniture, and the yellow circle is my music spot (guitar).

The plan looks Dutch.Yes, the schematic for the screenshot is probably Dutch. hampshire schrieb:
Construction methods differ there, and pipes can sometimes be surface mounted.That would offer more flexibility for the design. If not, it would be helpful to know where wall chases already exist—and of course where drains are planned.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Bertram1005 Oct 2019 23:31Oops, I’m not receiving any email notifications for reactions in my own thread. But here I am, trying to work through everything:
- Yes, the plan is in Dutch. I live in Flanders, where the nicer version of Dutch is spoken.
- All the walls, including the non-load-bearing ones, are already up. The wiring will likely be installed in a groove and then plastered over.
- What autocorrect sneakily changed to "Mäuschen" (little mouse) was supposed to be "Mäuerchen" (small wall). I meant it like this: on the left side of the plan where the bathroom is drawn, a shower about 180cm (70 inches) long. Behind that, a "small wall" as a partition, and behind that the washing machine.
- Co-housing means living together with others. Like students, but the grown-up version.
- I don’t have a sloped roof. It’s a terraced mid-terrace house with a flat roof.
- Regarding an open shower: if you can enter the shower from the foot end, 150cm (59 inches) is apparently enough. For side access, the partition must be at least 130cm (51 inches) high; otherwise, water would likely splash outside. That’s how the plumber explained it to me when planning the bathroom in my current apartment.
- It’s a shame a terraced house bathroom is not a wish concert. With a few quick magic tricks, it might have been doable.
- I’ve decided to keep the toilet separate.
