Design Dilemma Before & After Bathrooms

2m wide x 6m long bathroom

4 years ago

We have a bathroom space on our new build which has a 1.5m x 2m wide open to sky shower area at one end, with a total length of 6m x 2m wide we are looking for modern design ideas for this ensuite bathroom without a bath. The house is in southern Thailand and we should finish the project by end of this year.

Personally I think it is such a large space you should consider having two toilets in separate cubicles at the opposite end to the shower.
That would leave a 3 m wall between for a big vanity.

The last open to air shower I was in was (badly) designed so that someone in the bedroom above could have a giggle as they watched you in the shower ... so just don’t make that mistake !!

HI Keerthi, the project turned out well, apart from the main house, I built a 9m x 6m building which I split in 2. The front 4.5m x 6m area is used for pressuried water system, gas burner and a multi fuel burner all to one side and fuels to the other. The is a door going into rear of building the same size. Theres a 3m wide by 1.2m window to the back of the bulding looking out into the garden with a glass door to the side. Its a fabulous plastered games room and may be used as a music practice room at some stage. There is a 600m floored attic for storage. I didnt get any feedback off site but still get great ideas for finishes within Houzz. Regards

Here's what I've found after living in and visiting many tract homes- LR-13x18 FR-12x16 (and that they not be in the middle of the traffic flow pattern aka many tract homes post ww2 till about the late 50's) Kitchen (no eating area) 9x11 DR/Nook or other eating area 10x10 Entry-at least 3'6" wide 4' better Bedrooms (good design would at least provide 2 good bed walls aka no doors or windows in it) MBR-12x13 w/ at least 10 linear feet of closets All other bedrooms-10x10 with at least 5 linear ft of closets all closets 2' deep, Baths-5x8 but 5x9 better if fixtures lined up on one wall and tub/shower at end 7x8 and 8x8 with the tub/shower fully accessible if it's 5 ft long 6x8 if it's a 3' shower (fixtures lined up on 2 opposite walls). If you look and many floor plans the best ones will have all of this. Note that square footage does not have to be a lot-ciculation/flow between rooms helps this.

These tiles on our kitchen floor?
Q
Comments (8)
Hi, We always put a quick note to verify our experience: Brigitte and I have consistently designed between 70-90 kitchens/year for over 34 years..... We've literally designed thousands of kitchens..... We also design/build full structural including below-grade foundation plans..... Anyway, certainly nothing personal, but that tile reminds us of old bathroom tiles/patterns from back in the 40's/50's, not something to put on a large kitchen floor.....Considering that you also have a parquet floor pattern in both adjoining rooms it might really look awful.....As we tell many clients- "don't want to look like we're in Disney World!.....You should be able to buy some of these tiles and lay them out, then return them.....Do it next to the other floors to see the visual.....Hope this helps.....John & Brigitte

Laminate flooring widths?
Q
Comments (13)
The sizes you mentioned for the flooring: 11mm or 8mm are not "widths" of the plank. It is the THICKNESS of the plank. Technically the thicker the laminate the "nicer" the laminate. Small rooms do well with lighter flooring. And please do not use laminate in the kitchen. It won't survive for very long. If you are going to do it, please purchase enough laminate to REMOVE AND REPLACE the kitchen TWICE. That way you can have the same floor throughout the house even if the kitchen is severely damaged....and the potential is VERY high that laminate in a kitchen will NOT survive a rental situation. Remember: in a rental, the life of a floor = 7 years on average. Laminate in a kitchen averages 3 years. That's why you want to buy enough laminate to install the kitchen TWICE....it's the only way you can get it to "live" for the full 7 years. Have fun.

Thank you for your comments its appreciated, the open to sky shower is in the ensuite main bedroom, the house is a bungalow and the perimeter fence is 12m from the house wall. No , rubber tree and mountain, but we know what you mean.......

Jonathan, could you draw us a simple line drawing of the design you're thinking of, just to give you the sizes again, the shower area is 2m wide x 1.5m deep outside the roof (Bungalow) the rest of the bathroom inside under the roof is 2m wide x 4.5m long.

Thanks in advance.

I'd use natural materials, incorporate plants, a seat, and would prefer a double shower if you have enough water pressure. Also, a space not too far away where your towels/bathrobes will stay dry. A long double vanity unit with plenty of storage.

I think there would be times in the year that you are not going to want to shower outside. When it's raining or the late at night and maybe there is a lot of bugs attracted to your windows, or is just to hot and humid out. I'm guessing here but I'd think you'd want the option to shower indoors as well.
I'd have your open shower area, then moving into the room I would have another shower in the same look and style, so they look like a double shower lined up together. The two showers are separated with full height glass (sliding?) doors. Then a large vanity and finally one loo facing the other direction than showing in Johnathan's plan but enclosed with a sliding door. Either solid or glass, maybe partially frosted. In whatever style you prefer.

Yup but I'd have the two showers separated with all glass wall. Like the image above with the lovely copper shower and pipes.
thanks for putting that together Caroline :)

If you don't need/want an indoor shower, you could have a double outdoor shower?

Hi I agree with Carolina, incorporate pebbles and plants... see inspiration.Maybe outdoor shower and indoor bath would be a good plan?
