Hello everyone...

After our first floor plan attempt failed completely, we worked with the architect to develop two more ground floor versions and one for the upper floor. I would like to know which ones you find good or bad, and what you generally like or dislike about the floor plans?! Also, the pantry door is drawn a bit oddly; it won’t actually look like that...

Good question! It definitely shouldn’t be smaller. We even increased the shower size to 90x120cm (35x47 inches), so I can only answer your question after the sink is installed. We also want to create some storage space within the drywall behind the toilet.

For us, that would then be about 14 m² (150 sq ft). I just hope the bathroom won’t end up too long… ?!

No, it won’t.

I would evaluate it for you by sketching it out, but in my collection of your floor plans, the attic plan from post #175 doesn’t seem to be the original. If you have already posted it here, please tell me the post number; if you emailed it to me, please send it again.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the original yet... I will only receive it from the draftsman over the weekend... I only have the hand-drawn version for now...

On the other hand, we have seen a 17sqm (183 sq ft) bathroom in a new build that was clearly too large. And please keep in mind: tiles are often an additional cost! Make sure to ask exactly what expenses are still to come, even if a specific tile price is already included.

Yes, I can imagine that.
That's why I am always a bit skeptical about it...
Tiles, we’ll see... I only want to tile the essentials anyway...
I'm not a fan of those "slaughterhouse bathrooms."

But you’ve already drawn on it. I meant the state before the painting was done—not the final drawing of the artwork. The illustrator is always about five pages behind our discussion anyway.

Haha. For me, the tiles go up to (measured from the shower) “head height,” ending about one hand’s width below the window lintel / above the mirror, roughly 60 cm (24 inches) below the ceiling. “Butcher shop bathroom” sounds about right (I come from a family of butchers).
