Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Custom Floor Plan Feedback 14May 19, 2020 11:32 am In general it looks okay, but it seems quite hard to differentiate between windows and doors. If let's say you move you entrance door a bit up, you will be able to extend the WIR bottom robe all the way to the wall. Same applies to the other other 2 WIR robes - you can have a shoe rack under the window and I really don't think you would need this extra door from bathroom to WIR. You might also want to place huge full height mirror on the wall opposite the WIR window (this is where you have a door now to bathroom currently). Also, not sure why your sofa in your Master is placed this way, I would say it might be more logical if you put TV on the bottom wall and orient sofa same way as your bed is oriented, so you could watch it. This will also leave out some space near the windows for a nice study nook. Bathroom layout is more or less okay, also I prefer wall hung toilets as it is much easier to clean under them + they look so much nicer (plus you can use pedestal as a full blown shelf). What type of bath tub is that? Is it back-to-wall standalone bath? What is the size of it? If you are removing door to WIR from the bathroom, you can consider extending your vanity all the way to the wall, too. I am also feeling that entrances to WC and shower are a bit on a tight side (less than 50 cm)? They should be at least 60 cm to be comfortable, best if 70 cm. Just my 2 cents. Re: Custom Floor Plan Feedback 15May 19, 2020 3:26 pm Are you in Syd or Melb? If Melb.. I would rearrange my ensuite to have a larger window if its facing west... it will dry up you bathroom nicely and prevent mould and makes your ensuite warmer and more pleasant during cooler seasons. Also you need a door between your bathroom and WIR or Master Bedroom. I made mistake of not having any... In display homes it look so nice open plan. large opening between Master and ensuite.. Not something you want in real life espcially if you are in Melb! Losing too much heat into the cold ensuite. Re: Custom Floor Plan Feedback 16May 19, 2020 5:21 pm I think the ensuite is to narrow, borrow some from the master bed and WIR, you will need 700 minimum opening which only leaves you 1600 for a bathtub, best to have 1800. You can afford to lose some from the WIR, you need 550 each side to comfortably fit hanging (think ikea pax depth), so will still give 1400 between hanging, maybe lose 200 from WIR and 100mm from bedroom and that should give you close to the correct width for the bath. In regards to wall hung toilets, be aware they are only rated to 120kg, when you don’t know who may use it, I wouldn’t risk it, personally I think they look stubby., Re: Custom Floor Plan Feedback 17May 19, 2020 5:24 pm Ooh and the whole double door in bedroom, we had that in our last house (rental) and it was a pain, we had two 500 doors, always had to open both up when I was walking in with washing baskets etc, the bolt to open the second door, was up high as they were 2.4 doors, had to get the step ladder out, or squash in, if you didn’t leave one door bolted, they rattled constantly in the wind, hated with a passion! If your going to do it, have a minimum 1440 opening, so you can fit two 720 doors. Re: Custom Floor Plan Feedback 18May 19, 2020 5:28 pm Average limit weight for wall hung toilet is 230+ kg. Otherwise, how would they sell in US? You don't really need 1800 bath unless you are really really tall. 1700 is a perfect length for a bath tub, I would rather focus on the right design to make sure you can lie down comfortably in it. But openings need to be wider, agree. Re: Custom Floor Plan Feedback 19May 19, 2020 5:59 pm Hmmm...we literally bought two in wall cistern toilets on the weekend and the recommendation was less than 120kg, although we didn’t buy wall hung, Kohler Australia say max 136kg, just something to consider, obviously different limits for different toilets. 6 55354 Hi there! Absolutely agree on the wasted space. We have no desire for the master to be that oversized, but it occurred when we increased the depth of the garage.
