I would be turning the toilet around so that it sits against the external wall and making it a lot narrower than what it currently is. Thanks Jen1977. I asked architect to make it smallest possible and this is what he came up with. I gues I can cut down on width. I'll talk to him again If we move toliet and basin direction. what we will do with space gained. Also with changing bath and toilet loaction, then doors will be visible from family. Is not the whole idea of pathway wall is to hide doors and things? Re: Please review my floor plan 12Dec 03, 2013 11:16 am Eeeepppp!!! You definitely don't want the toilet to be visible from the family room. I have been in houses like that.... it's like the toilet is in the family room. I recently saw a house where you could see into the toilet from the alfresco. Yuck! Re: Please review my floor plan 13Dec 03, 2013 12:35 pm I tend to agree with Lourance - swapping the bedroom with the bathroom not only cuts down noise, but keeps all the plumbing together from the kitchen, laundry bath and powder rooms. It will also give you a bigger main bathroom. (I've done a quick mock up on photoshop - I condensed the powder room and 'stretched' the bathroom segment so bath and shower look distorted - but you get the idea!!)

In this sketch we have widened lounge by reducing entry. lounge width without entry walls is 3410mm. Entry width now is 1600mm. WIR is hanging out by 450mm. waxinggibbous thanks for your time on sketch but that layout would make bed 2 too small. I am sound insulating bedrooms. so I don't think noise would be that much of an issue. i thought the flipped plan initially but bec i want narrow pathway from entry to dining (dont like bend), also cannot fit the… 7 17278 It is true that a builder can ignore your independent inspection report as it is not part of the contractual arrangement but that is stupid because he cannot avoid fixing… 9 46854 The worst thing you can do is sign a building contract without a pre contract review.
