A rough sketch of my thoughts. But I would prefer are 4000mm x 4000mm bedroom and the remainder on an ensuite with a door on the toilet.

if structurally possible i would rearrange entry to the master suite to make better use of the hallway for a walk in storage area and/or more wiw, take advantage of maximum daylight and ventilation from the small windows and, don't know if you want a bathtub, but twin sliding doors would allow a view to outside when seated in the bath, and use the walk through area for a study and/or dressing area plus the open wiw and no separate hallway

This provides windows to bath and robe/study area.sliding door plus privacy to toilet

Stealing OKL new entrance as I prefer not to lay in bed and look down a passageway or into a bathroom close up.

Keeping windows or replacing with highlight windows which should give you a view of the tree canopy plus light, also suggest a full length venting skylight above the shower depending on the roof

The bath tub could have full height folding doors or just from bath height.

Thank you all for the fantastic designs and ideas! I particularly appreciate the layouts that keep the space at the end of the bed open—it’s always been a dream of mine to have a cozy chair there. Oklouise, your design really stands out to me! I’m considering skipping the bathtub in the ensuite, since there’s already one in the main bathroom. If you have any alternative suggestions for the ensuite layout, I’d love to hear them. Thanks again for your creativity and support!

And one last suggestion with bed facing the view and minus the bath and using existing plumbing.

I had a look back on your other posts, so this is a new build duplex development. So it doesn’t matter where the plumbing goes? Or are there restrictions? From this post I thought it was a renovation. But now looking back I think it is plans for a brand new build, is that correct?

Waiting for kids to arrive for school hols, so another adjustment

New build just trying to work with planned plumbing as not sure at what stag their plans are at to save time and money.

Yes new build so i can change the internal configuration (not the lift or stairs). Thanks in advance for new ideas 💡

I can also change the plumbing

Hi Julie, My comment is to do with the pwd room along from the stairs: put the basin on the hinge side of the room as it so much easier to get past it to the loo! I prefer Siriuskey's last plan but I would make the bedroom as long as possible. I calculate 4.3 x 4.1 would work. Looks great! Which way is north? Hope you get sun! Cheers Margot

Hi Margot,

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! After reviewing everyone’s suggestions, I’ve taken to heart the advice about positioning wet areas along the external wall for better light and ventilation. I’m particularly fond of Siriuskey’s latest plan, and I appreciate your insights on the powder room. Based on your suggestion, I plan to relocate the basin to optimise the space.

Regarding your question about the direction of the north, the side yard faces north which includes the two small windows, which should allow for beautiful natural lighting, especially if I reconsider some of the window designs. The main bedroom sliding doors face West so I will be installing roller shutters for the hot summer days.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts and help refine my plans. Your input has been incredibly valuable!
