ᐅ Single-Family Home Floor Plan Design, 130-140 m²

Your priorities are your own, but I would always leave that dead corner next to the bathroom sink to you as the planner of this fiasco when it comes to cleaning.

Because of water splashes, I prefer an L-shape. Your layout doesn’t provide that.

Why? That’s not true at all:

I’m still open to discussion regarding the bathroom.
A walk-in shower without an enclosure measuring 1 x 1.5 m (3.3 x 4.9 ft) is a must.
To avoid water splashes, I prefer an L-shaped layout, which your design doesn’t provide.
I don’t necessarily need a window above the toilet, but I could imagine a clerestory window there.

I like the floor plan Katja attached again in post 151 better. It meets your shower requirements, and you also gain more storage space in the dressing room. Additionally, in your draft, the access to the shower is very narrow. It’s worth considering that one might still live there at an older age, so the entrance should be wide enough to allow passage with a walker.

You are calculating with incorrect cabinet depths. Since these are rough construction dimensions, I would always use the Ikea Pax system with sliding doors as a reference. Those are 66 cm (26 inches) deep, so wherever cabinets are planned, the rough construction dimensions should be set to 70 cm (28 inches).

The walk-in closet, master bedroom, and child’s room 1 do not take this into account.

As I said, I don’t see any dead corners in my original plan. Provided the bathtub could also be placed on the other side.

But will you always be the one to remove mold from the window gaps?
I don’t want a window in the wet area. It would also have to be frosted glass unless I want every passerby to see my girlfriend’s breasts.
That would look strange in the front view if one window was frosted, I think.

I have thought about that too, but on the one hand we have a staircase in the house, and on the other hand, if we reach the walker age in 30-40 years, the bathroom will be renovated anyway.

You are calculating with incorrect cabinet depths. Since these are structural rough opening dimensions, I would always base it on Ikea Pax sliding door wardrobes. These are 66cm (26 inches), so wherever cabinets are planned, the rough opening should be 70cm (28 inches).

The walk-in closet, bedroom, and child 1’s room don’t follow this.

We wanted to place the cabinets in an L-shape on two walls only so that there is still enough space inside for changing.

We have a window in the shower in another house and haven’t had any problems. But maybe that’s just luck? I don’t know.

Why shouldn’t anyone see them?

I think kaho’s design is nice. The toilet wouldn’t be directly in the line of sight.
