Bathroom options for small house (88sqm)
Hi everyone
I’ve just my initial concept design back from my architect. Pic of part of the floor plan in comments.
Overall really happy with it. I’m a bit stumped on the bathroom layout. The house is relatively small with two bedrooms. My reason for wanting an ensuite is privacy if I ever need to get a flatmate mostly, or for when guests are here.
Hygiene wise and in terms of hearing your partner use the loo and vice versa the ensuite idea is less appealing.
I’m looking at the design now thinking it may not be the best use of space. Here are some of the options I’m considering.
Would appreciate your expertise and insight!!
Options B and C are what I’m flip flopping between.
Option A - Current concept
Ensuite: toilet + vanity + shower
Main bathroom: shower + toilet + vanity
Pros: simple, efficient, two toilets.
Cons: no bath. both quite small
Option B - Bath in main bathroom
Ensuite: toilet + vanity
Main bathroom: bath + shower + toilet + vanity
Pros: two toilets, proper bathroom
Cons: needs a bit more space.
Option C - Bath in ensuite
Ensuite: bath or shower/tub + toilet + vanity
Main bathroom: shower + toilet + vanity
Pros: two toilets, bath gets the bush-facing side of the house, feels a bit special/intimate
Cons: more uncommon arrangement.
Option D - One bathroom + separate toilet
Bathroom: bath + shower + vanity
Separate WC: toilet + hand basin
Pros: generous bathroom, two toilets, less duplication.
Cons: no ensuite.
Option E - One bathroom only
Bathroom: bath + shower + toilet + vanity
Pros: cheapest, simplest, biggest bathroom.
Cons: only one toilet. Less flexibility and future proofing.
