Plan finally attached!

Something like this you need to reposition the aircon, Shower uses floor space beside the bath with Bifold windows to enjoy the view, the pocket doors are full height 2400? and could have the robe to ensuite mirrored for within the dressing room robe.

There could be a tall narrow shuttered window in her end which I would prefer for natural light, Two x 1100 vanities. And looking at the size of the master there's still room for more storage. As already mentioned the Bed is off set to the stacker doors but this won't be noticed when you install lovely full height sheer curtains

You have a wonderful almost 6500mm of space, with WIR and ensuite. No, the ensuite is not too big. Think about the circulation for drying yourself, and two people using the basins, at the same time. My suggestion swaps the shower and toilet around, and adds access via WIR to ensuite. Ensure all correct ventilation is installed to extract any steam before it gets into WIR. Or maybe a door between the two for added privacy.

Hi there Kuter,

This looks fairly good but I would change it about just a bit. I really like to enter the ensuite thru the robe as it affords another level of privacy.

In the robe I would eliminate the dead corners.

The ensuite is generous so we can get it right! Move so the separate loo room (tick)still on outside wall for air/light/vent but to the north with it and the bath along the far wall. the bath is still in that same corner overlooking, or even opening to the balcony. The vanity the first thing you see when entering ensuite so along between loo room and robe. Shower turn around backing bedroom with door to the robe.

Also just make sure your bed and side tables will fit along the bedroom door wall. Do you really need the wall and doors to separate sitting? Make sure what furniture you want will fit in both rooms.

Good luck and love to see pictures!

Cheers Margot

my suggestions include furniture to offer ideas for how the spaces could be used but i would prefer to have the bedroom more private from the stairs, the sitting room able to be used as a separate room, a deeper balcony with room for seating rather than only standing, the bathroom has dual access and the bedroom is more connected to the views but windows should always be sized and located to suit views in and out

Yes but make sure you don't step into bedroom and look straight at the loo! My only other comment is to try and eliminate a few doors from this plan. Loose a lot of space on balcony because of the doors. Actually same for all rooms but I agree the balcony is far more useful than the "outdoor passage to no where"! Well done OkLouise!

Wow, thank you all for so many great ideas and so quickly!!! I do like your plan oklouise too. I'll have to chat further with my other half to make a plan and talk through all of the pros and cons of your suggestions. Thanks, I needed a few more ideas to get past what was drawn for us. I'll be sure to post photos when we finally get it all built!

Another thought re the narrow out door passage way off the Master and retreat room is not to have one and take that space back into the rooms by using wide Juliet style doors to the outside, best of both worlds and larger interior.

Rotate the en-suite clockwise 90deg so opens into wir. Also shift entry to wir and it to the right to maximize wall length in bedroom.

Oops. “And it” should be “a bit” to the right.

from the architects plan I would prefer to keep the full width of the terrace, the bedroom and retreat have enough space to be able to add the extra 300 to the terrace.(Oklouise) I also think the bed should be on the R/H wall looking out to the view. The full width doors windows shown on the plan indicate that blinds will be the choice of window treatment?, I'am not sure if that's what I would like to look at in the evening, and personally prefer full hight curtains sheers or block out that would draw back to the left and for that reason I think it would be better to reduce the width of the doors to allow the curtains to draw back over a short wall, this would also then line up the bed to the doors as already mentioned by MD design as being annoying

This all about the Parents Retreat and the VIEW., so possibly something like this.

The bedroom can be with or with out the Juliet window. Both rooms have a wall to pull full height curtains back from the doors and view. Perhaps the pull back wall would be better on the other side of the room so that you see the view when entering the suite.

And as per Oklouise suggested you can take the balcony out to 1800 or so

the double WIR looks nice Siriuskey! but that toilet cubicle is a bit off.

I have to agree it can be so much better, I spent the time on everything else and ran out of puff, any ideas

i would just expose the toilet. but get a nice one.
like the Pear range from Artedomus.

and just had a quick look, the other side of the WIR having 3m of hanging and plus 3m of shelves, the other side could just be used for a wonderful bath room. coming in, droping dirty clothes, bathing etc and leaving in a fluffy robe to enjoy that wonderful master retreat ahhhh

I would try use OkLouise's 2 cubicle with sliding (glass) door version into your layout.

Tomalie, I will have a look again tomorrow cheers

Thanks so many great ideas, I do like the dual dressing room ideas. You are all so wonderfully helpful!

I think what your designer has suggested is a 1970, set up of WIR & Ensuite, so I'am trying to to bring it up to today with so many more options. I do think Oklouises ensuite could also work with the neccessary adjustments, I will add that today, so much better than my quick thoughts 3DA, thank you

This the idea I was working on yesterday with a luxury ensuite Plus a WIR with 3m hanging space on one wall and 3m of narrow cube storage for shoes hand bags T's etc on the opposite wall

And this with adjusted dimensions, bathroom similar to Oklouise but with the tub in front of bifold windows, with a bench to siton to dry off, Plenty of spaces for towel rails extra ventilation via WC, Shower and dressing room windows when bifolds aren't open which is important. Dressing rooms can be made wider if wanted, hanging is 600 deep and shelving 400

Now that's lovely layout. Just a suggestion. Move vanity more centred and put sliding glass door to ensuite directly from bed area.
If you want fancy, make the whole wall to bedroom frameless glass with roller blind track on the outside. It will double the room when opened.

Thank you 3DA, I thought so and would totally love that in my 70s - 80s house, as I have the original design and dislike it to what is now available, and yes there can be modifications done to suit the individual
