NThomas Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 I'm working on a design for a "loft" condo. I need to fit the following stuff form a bathroom in a small space and I can't rack my brain anymore. Washer Dryer Countertop sink Toilet Bath Closet (Reach-in) Have any ideas? Please post! Quote
strickn Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Try putting a top-loading washer, sink, and dryer down the right-hand wall (as you walk in; on the left in plan), so that you'll have a workspace to use [medicine cabinet behind the fold-down ironing board?] and one that will be available even when the tub or toilet are in use. You could either have a closet in the jog of the wall behind - and another door in line with the first to lead to the inner bathroom - or you could altogether avoid the expense of framing in another door as follows. Let the jog contain two of the three feet of a 3' wide passage, curtained as creatively as you like, parallel to the main door, and divide the rest of the space with a 5'6" storage divider running parallel to the main door (and not necessarily all the way to the ceiling - more lively if you won't). There should be enough room behind it for the tub and toilet cul-de-sac that you could have a bit of shelving facing back there for their toiletries too. In any case you will have to port the dryer and the bathroom humidity out-of-doors if there is no window. By the way, that galley kitchen is not likely going to work smoothly, if there's anything you can look to do about that. Quote
