Hi All - taking on board your comments I have come up with three variations. Of course would love your comments! The distance from vanity to WC in plan 1 is approx 60cm - it could be made a bit more. This falls within the guideline you posted (23inches). More space could be created by making the shower a bit narrower (shown on all 3 plans as 1m wide (39 inches). I don't think there is quite enough space to divide the room and the problem with the idea of the bath right in the middle is that on a practical basis we would have to walk around it on a daily basis to get to the shower! Could quickly get very annoying!

Hi quick sketch attached which hopefully will get you thinking on non standard options to avail of the triple aspect and views. The bed is centred on the West facing window, so even though there isn't symmetry in the rest of the room, balance is created, focused on the bed. I've shown a freestanding headboard behind the bed - something along these lines....there are design options available which means no need for a bedside locker to the side. I've stolen a small amount of space from the adjacent bedroom (sorry kids!) & pushed the entrance door back into the hall slightly. There is no door to ensuite, but the curved wall which becomes part of the shower creates an entrance & cuts of what you don't want to see (the wc) but allows light in, views out to and from the North. This curve also creates a natural line to change floor covering - say from carpet to tile. Theres approx 5m of wardrobe tucked under the eaves with curved ends (if budget will allow!) and also His & Hers drawer sets either side of entrance door.

I like Jonathon’s first drawing for a couple of reasons. You can have a walk in wardrobe for all the hanging clothes, which can end up looking a bit messy, and have the more traditional type of wardrobe for items that can be boxed up, such as handbags and shoes, and folded clothes / drawer items. I think a walk in wardrobe is better without a window as natural light can fade clothes, so much better to have a bright bathroom with 2 windows. Finally, as you’re building the internal walls from scratch you could look into having a pocket door system into the en suite thereby preventing a swinging door getting in the way of either the wardrobe or the shower.

Loads of great ideas coming up here! Fab space to work with.. which I am sure doesn't make it easier :) For not having natural light in the bathroom.. it really depends when you use it and personal preference. I have had one without a window and found I didn't really notice as I only use it early in the morning and then in the evening (late) which was actually nice because I didn't need to think about window dressings or having a big black hole there whilst I relaxed in the bath or shower. Having said that, my mum would hate not having a window as she loves lots of natural light and is at home most of the day time so would never go for it! :) Have you considered having a concept planner look at your space in a layout package? With so many options it's nice to have it created in 3D model and really get a sense of how the space will feel with each layout.. I find it helps my clients make decisions on important spaces like this. It also means the space is thought about it bespoke to you and your requirements and needs as an in depth brief is taken before they begin. I hope it helps and I look forward to hearing as things progress. Best of luck.
