We visited the bathroom showroom today and were presented with a redesign for our small guest WC. I would like to hear your opinions on this.
The original version, Bad_orig, is the design from the architect that we have been satisfied with so far. The bathroom planner, however, pointed us to the Bad_vorschlag version and suggested that it might be a better solution, especially regarding the tiling later on. This way, there is only one installation level, and it would also save tiling since only one wall needs to be tiled.
Overall, I don’t think the alternative version is bad, as it leaves plenty of space on the other wall for a cabinet or similar. But I am not sure if it might be too tight. The bathroom measures 1.63 x 1.63 meters (5 ft 4 in x 5 ft 4 in).
The planner said you generally need 80 cm (31.5 in) for the toilet and I’m assuming about 45 cm (18 in) for the sink, so it should fit within the 1.63-meter width. Of course, the positions of the sink and toilet could be swapped as well.
I’m curious to hear your assessments.

I would stick with the original version. There was recently a discussion about the space requirements for the restroom.
You could invite the plumbing designer to present his proposal. But when using the toilet, he should keep his knees tucked in and always make sure to lock the door. 🙂There is actually no difference between the original and the plumbing designer’s versions. The space remains the same.I would probably also prefer the plumbing designer’s version and consider whether it might be better to have the door open outwards.

Masipulami25 Apr 2016 07:51I also prefer the second option. It has the added advantage that the light falls onto the washbasin from the side.

Watcher7825 Apr 2016 08:08Thank you for your feedback. We also prefer option 2, as it provides more space. However, I don’t think it’s possible to swap the toilet and the sink because the window is on the right. If a pre-wall installation needs to be placed in front of the sink, as shown in the design, the sink would be positioned in front of the window. That’s just my layman’s opinion 🙂
Masipulami25 Apr 2016 08:16So, is the window sill height lower than the washbasin height?

Watcher7825 Apr 2016 08:27I don’t know how high a washbasin usually is. The window sill height is 1m (3 ft 3 in). I’m also wondering if a pre-wall installation is necessary for the washbasin; if not, about 20cm (8 inches) could be saved.
