Down stairs toilet -where should it go ?
Comments (2)No doubt the under-stair option will be easier/cheaper as i bet the soil pipe runs straight past it and as you say there is water available directly above. However, under-stairs toilets are usually very poky and awful for men standing up and you lose very useful storage space for coats and other paraphernalia. If you can, i would build a proper bathroom in your garage but you will need to insulate walls, create access and possibly run new soil pipes depending on location. Equally, access through other rooms to get to a loo is not ideal. Avoid macerators at all costs, they are noisy, ugly and breakdown constantly!...See MoreLarge room but unsure where kitchen should go?
Comments (14)I believe based on your sketch layout and model one should consider departing from a symmetrical layout and treat the kitchen as a zone along the rear wall or the opposing rear corner to the pantry Someone else has also commented that one should consider a layout that relates to the scale of the space and more units would be expected . Otherwise the kitchen may seem out of scale and too small Im slightly surprised that a designer or architect has gone to the trouble of designing the house and not provided indicative kitchen and other layouts considering you are not far off from first fix of the services....See MoreSmall garden - where should patio go?
Comments (10)Do you want grass or would multiple patios and plant borders be an option for you? Oh, just realised the garden is 18 metres wide. You'd have enough space for two patios and grass. So a smaller patio for a morning coffee in the sun to the right and a larger one with full sun in the centre of the garden? 18 metres isn't small. Photos would really help. Good to see where doors and windows are for example....See MoreWhere should the bedroom entrance door be for optimum room layout?
Comments (7)thanks for this floor plan. I think what you've stated is a good idea. having no doors in the hallway wouldn't look odd at all, I've been in many houses that have their doors to a far end of the corner. I think it's more of if you did intend to have that door there and move your optimum bedroom layout to the opposite side, it depends on whether you were needing sockets also nearby if you say had a table lamp that you wanted to have on your side tables? electrics and lighting would also be what you would need to think about too if not already. you would still have the issue of the window. I have 2 options below: 1. Maybe a customed L-shaped wardrobe at bottom right corner just by where the door would go (depends on how much storage you were thinking about and the size of the wardrobe of what you feel is needed). 2. The bedroom layout being on that bottom wall, same wall where the door currently is and you have a large wardrobe on the right wall going along so that you still have the window exposed and not being blocked if that makes sense? I know you have the ensuite door also there also but depending on how deep the wardrobe would also be would indicate how much walking space and window may be slightly blocked if you place it too close to it...See Morehayleydaniels
