ᐅ Bathroom layout with sloped ceiling in the attic

Hello,

we are planning to create a bedroom and a bathroom in our attic.
In terms of space, the bathroom doesn’t offer many options, so we are considering placing the sink, radiator, and bathtub in a single line. However, the toilet is relatively narrow in width, which hopefully won’t be an issue for us.
Each square in the layout represents 10cm (4 inches), with dimensions rounded up or down to the nearest 5cm (2 inches).

Thanks for your feedback

Well, you do need some range of movement in the bathroom, even if you were to gain 10 kilograms (22 pounds). But even slimmer people need to be able to move their arms.
To me, the ceiling heights make it look more like a storage space. There aren’t any windows either, right?
Maybe consider, instead of a sliding door wardrobe, installing sliding doors on the sloped wall and using that as a closet, and within that closet space create something like a bathroom (whatever kind of room that is).

We were able to take over the sliding wardrobe from my mother. It was very expensive, and we thought about using it as a room divider.
This wardrobe, HxWxD: 210x290x65 cm (83x114x26 inches), won’t fit under the sloped ceiling. Behind it would be a completely unused space?! We’re planning a wardrobe along the knee wall with the doors about 110 cm (43 inches) wide in front…

The sliding door wardrobe is very large, with pull-out shelves, ideal for the adjacent bedroom…
Open wardrobe side with hanging rail, folded textiles, and toys.

No, of course you can’t put a tall cabinet under an angled attic ceiling. My suggestion is based on building a custom fitted wardrobe under the slope—either DIY or by a carpenter—and then installing sliding door panels in front of it.

As I said before, it looks like a knee wall storage space, which with such a low knee wall is really not suitable for a room like a bathroom. So you should consider how the rest of the floor is laid out.

Having a complete floor plan of the level would be helpful.


Take a photo of the knee wall storage area.

Edit: sorry, but the photos are only loading for me now... I’m just seeing post #6 for the first time as well.

Attached is the total area of the attic. The wall marked in red was not built at the time.

The current small roof window would be removed and replaced with one of the same size as on the other side.

So the bathroom layout is basically at the top of the plan?

It would be very helpful to have the height contours included in the overall floor plan, as well as the exact position and dimensions of the roof window.

Basically, I would try to place a wall along the 180 cm (6 ft) height line. To the left of the stairs, the shower could go there, then the toilet next to the "new" wall, and the separated storage space could probably also accommodate the drain pipe for the roof penetration. Then the sink could be positioned accordingly. But for that, we definitely need the above-mentioned details.

I tried to sketch something based on your distorted images. Placing a cabinet in front of the window is difficult. I have drawn the 2 m (6 ft 7 in) line. Your 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in) measurement cannot be correct according to the section.

@hanghaus2023 You placed the roof window in the bathroom area somewhat arbitrarily—right? According to the information, it should be located a bit further down in the plan because the small window was replaced with a larger one. At least, that’s how I understood it, which is why there was a request for the exact position and also the height of the bottom edge.
