Renovar 1,5 banheiros em 100 pés quadrados

LAYOUT:
The design layouts presented here are all kept constrained to the original dimensions of the space as mentioned in the brief. There are four different alternatives to the layout explored in the drawings (plans) to suggest different possible combinations of the two bathrooms. The renderings and detailed drawings represent alternative 1 as that uses the least amount of space in circulation and maximizes the functional requirements.

Main Bathroom:
The layout offers a separate shower area and a bath-tub, but they could be combined to make space for a double sink large vanity or a larger linen closet. In the current layout, the storage is limited to the vanity and shelves and cabinets over the toilet. An alternative to this would be to extend the main bathroom into the dining area by at least 1’, which would give space for a large linen cabinet on the wall opposite the shower. This would also offer wall space for the built-in shelves and niches near the shower and the bath-tub and/or a larger bathtub (> than 5 feet long).

For the proposed layout, the shower and bath-tub are both placed adjacent to each other, and can share a single hand shower as opposed to two different ones. It also separates the wet and dry areas of the bathroom distinctly.

The vanity is protected from shower splashes by a plain glass partition.

The toilet is accommodated in a separate space opposite the vanity. It can be hidden by a sliding pocket door (optional).

A large central sliding window is placed next to the bath-tub as a picture window which would offer natural light in times of power outages.

Master Bathroom:
The master bathroom layout is fairly simple with the vanity and the toilet placed opposite each other. 

Given the narrowness of the space, and to use for makeup styling, a large mirror is placed opposite the door to make the space feel larger than it is.

A fixed glass window is placed above the vanity mirror cabinet and below the false ceiling to bring in natural light.
 
FURNITURE AND FIXTURES:
Given the requirement of adequate heights, there are two possibilities- to customise the vanity to suit the height or to use a store-bought ‘floating-vanity’, which then can be installed at a required height. For the proposed design, the main bathroom has a customised vanity with bottom drawers for use as step-stools and the rest as storage cabinets. The master bathroom has a floating vanity, which can be customised or store-bought. But a customised vanity would look more harmonious with the overall design.

The counter tops are all polished grey quartz with an over mount white sink.

The water closets are wall-hung ones with a concealed flush tank so they can also be adjusted to suit the height. A separate plumbing wall is used to conceal the pipes and flush tank up to the height of the flush tank. The space above it is used for shelves and cabinets.

A small floating shelf runs along the length of the main bathroom to use as space for shampoo bottles and soap bars, etc. This shelf can be a live-edge wooden shelf.

The mirror in the main bathroom is a customised one while the one above the vanity in the master bathroom is a 3-part mirror cabinet.
 
MATERIALS AND TEXTURES:
The whole bathroom is kept a shade of light grey with a contrast to yellow-tint wood. Only two colours are used to give the bathrooms a clutter-free look. The wood used can be either laminate of a similar pattern and shade or a yellow-stained medium-dark veneer. The tiles are a combination of different grey varieties. The flooring and bottom part of the walls are wood-look porcelain tiles and the top part has simple light grey ceramic tiles of size 20cm x 20cm. In between these two are two rows of encaustic cement tiles as a design highlighter in 4’’ x 4’’ each. The same is used as flooring in the shower area. The tile sizes are kept small to prevent any unsymmetrical or awkward shaped large tiles in the corners of the bathrooms.

All the sanitary fittings, faucets and ceiling lights are in polished or brushed nickel finish. But a chrome finish would go well too.

Both the main doors are pocket doors in wood laminate or veneer. Instead of a conventional handle, the doors use a full height wooden member. The pocket door to the toilet space in the main bathroom is a glass door with a sticker/ etching in the same pattern as the encaustic tiles.
 
LIGHTING:
The ceiling lights are surface mounted CFLs installed in a plaster-board drop ceiling. A little bit of ambient lighting is attained with LED strips in the coves of false ceiling/ shelf/ vanity. All the lights shown in the images are of warm white colour.

Framed in the center of the main bathroom is a basket pendant lamp above the bath-tub.

It was a nice opportunity to work on this contest. Wishing you the best for the project.
