Bathroom layout/window

9 years ago

last modified: 9 years ago

we're in the process of remodeling our bathroom (which is adjacent to/incorporated into the master bedroom). Both the bathroom and the bedroom face a balcony/

We are considering a layout as in the attached plan, the basic requirements are to fit: a bathtub, a shower cubicle, a WC cubicle (enclosed), as well as a vanity cabinet with space for two basins

Part of the concept is to have a large clear window/sliding door (ca H1.8m x W2m) facing the balcony, and place the bathtub right next to it. The view is to be covered with plants placed on the balcony side.

I am not 100% sure about the clear window part and the layout as such. The entrance is supposed to be via s sliding door.

Many thanks!

If privacy is the issue, get the sliders tinted to about 70%. You'll still get most of the natural light but will have privacy. Now, keep in mind this only works during the day. At night you are exposed. To address this, you may wish to do a floor to ceiling white sheer/linen curtains. The number of folds in the curtain will dictate the amount of visible silhouette at night. Best of luck!

Thanks for the suggestion regarding tinting. In doing so, however, will we still have visibility to the outside?

David - Thanks! Appreciate that you even drew out the plan. :) You are absolutely right, it's been difficult finding an optimum layout. In fact, our current layout is more or less the same as your plan. Would you have chosen different furniture - a smaller sofa or a different dining table perhaps? (Also, I'm curious: is there a good reason why the architect had the pillar like that?) Mona - Do you mean having a buffet at the entry? I currently do have a sideboard, though it wouldn't fit at the entry - it's about 67" wide by 18" deep. It's currently placed in the middle of the long wall. There's actually still sufficient clearance between it and the 3-seater sofa in David's plan. plague - The household shelter is a local (Singapore) building requirement. Its walls are reinforced and is meant to be a shelter in times of emergency. It can't be removed, and any renovations carried out cannot affect its integrity (there is a list of permitted and prohibited works). Normally it is just used as a pantry or storeroom.

What is the space behind your shower currently? Is it closet or exterior? Is it possible to absorb that space into your shower for a bench or just to simply enlarge it? For your doors. Your shower door will need to swing out, or you can do a shower with only an opening and no door. Have you considered a "Neo-angle" shape instead of a rectangle for the shower to help the traffic flow too? The door closest to I should be the pocket/sliding door. And the door closest to the toilet should swing into the bathroom. here is an example of a neo angle shower:

I take it this isn't your bathroom. The glass could be handmade lead light which means bespoke by someone who makes lead light windows or it could be a transfer applied to a plain glass window. Check on ebay or online sticker/transfer stores for similar. I've never seen a piece like that in Australia so I'm thinking this might be an American antique. It's not normal to put an expensive antique piece in a bathroom and if you did it would be best in a bathroom that only has minimal use. And you would want to have a lot of good exhaust extraction to get rid of moisture. If you picked up one of those repro Indonesian mahogany pieces you would be spending a lot less money and might regard the piece as expendable. You can buy wood hardening sprays that resist moisture from the hardware store and spray the carcass (all the unstained pieces inside) with this stuff to resist moisture. You'd still need a good exhaust system however and keep the room well aired.

Yes you will. Depending on the darkness of the tint, it will cast a bit of shadow 65-70% shouldn't be too intrusive.

Thanks Clay. Would you deem privacy window films as an alternative?

Yes, window film is definitely an alternative. Compared to frosting or bevel led glass, you still get the view.
