Wet Area Design

DESIGN 1A
Pros:
- Relatively Small footprint
- Hot water outlets all close together
- Bathroom basin and mirror positioned opposite the door
- Swing of bathroom door divides the space between the toilet and bathroom and also blocks the view of the toilet when entering.
- Creates quite a large living/dining area.
- Kitchen island creates a more sociable space
Cons:
- Kitchen space probably larger than it needs to be
- No private access from bedroom to bathroom. Must pass through living area to access bathroom.
- Simplicity of design does not create many opportunities for storage
- Toilet still visible in mirror when entering
- No ensuite


DESIGN 2A
Pros:
- Very small kitchen and bathroom footprints
- Most of the hot water outlets are positioned close together
- Hidden laundry area with small shelving beside it
- Further (removable?) storage could be added above the W/M if no dryer is required
- private access from bedroom to bathroom due to position of corridor
- View of toilet completely blocked by door swing.
- Kitchen island creates a more sociable space
Cons:
- Corridor between bathroom and bedroom may prove to be wasted space.
- No ensuite for master bedroom


DESIGN2B
Same as 2A but with the addition of ensuite access. It also creates another storage area for the laundry/bathroom. However, the view of the toilet is no longer blocked by the door swing. I think i prefer this design to 2A.


DESIGN 3A
Pros:
- Very small footprint
- Lots of storage and shelving areas
- Hidden laundry
- Toilet is pushed back into the wall and is not as noticable
- bathroom basin and mirror located opposite door
- Further (removable?) storage could be added above the W/M if no dryer is required
- Kitchen island creates a more sociable space
Cons:
- No easy access to bathroom from bedroom


DESIGN 3B
Same as 3A however access to to bedroom is now closer to the bathroom. The W.I.R has been widened in order to retain storage space and to allow for the door.
