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.

Masipulami25 Apr 2016 08:32If I’m not mistaken, sinks are usually installed at a height of about 80-85cm (31-33 inches). So, I wouldn’t place it in front of the window.
You don’t need a stud wall installation for the sink. However, for aesthetic reasons, I would still recommend doing it continuously. That way, you also get a shelf along the entire width of the wall.

Watcher7825 Apr 2016 08:39Ah, okay, thanks. I’ll need to review this again with the planner. Regarding the partition wall, you’re right about the visual reasons, but I’m not sure if it might make sense to skip it in our case since it would give more depth for the sink. The partition wall is planned to be 20cm (8 inches) thick, as I see.
If the sink is installed on the left side, there will be more space with the door, which I would prefer not to have open outwards.

Watcher7825 Apr 2016 09:39We are still flexible with the planning of the washbasin. From what I understand, if the pre-installation is done behind the washbasin, there will be 20 cm (8 inches) available before the window starts. However, based on my research, there aren’t any washbasins only 20 cm (8 inches) deep, and a basin shouldn’t be too small anyway. We were thinking of a washbasin about 45 cm (18 inches) wide, although possibly smaller.
You have to weigh the options—if the washbasin is planned on the right side, there will be more space in the toilet, especially regarding the door opening. This is a guest toilet only, but of course, we will use it as well when we need a bathroom on the ground floor.

And I assume the sill height is higher than the usual 85cm (33 inches)? Then it doesn’t really matter if the two elements overlap in the plan; in 3D they won’t 😉
If needed, just move the window a bit closer to the wardrobe window 😀
