small shower room plans and pipe layout


Recommended Posts

I have been wrestling with how to fit in a small shower room into a small barn (3.5m x 4.5m) with a mezzanine level/bunk bed.

The plan I have come up with is attached (apologies for the lined paper).  It includes a steep ladder up to the bunk bed and an angled door to the shower room that includes a 800mm x 800mm shower.

Any thoughts on layout?

 

Originally it was going to be just a toilet and the soil pipe come up in the corner of the building. With the toilet now 2m from the exit pipe I presume this should still work considering the pipe layout/sink position/toilet pipe outlet height?

 

One last thing - is there a good way of making a thermal break where the medium density block joins onto the main stone wall? I plan to use a wall starter kit as normal but is there a better way that provides a thermal break to match the IWI?

I see you have no responses yet Let me try a couple of suggestions.

 

I would really want to have some more info. Not having this may be holding people back.

 

a - What is the converted barn for, and who will be using it? eg is a incidental to the main house for guests, weekend Hut for a Hutter, a camping barn, garden room with sleeping when they visit, official B&B, crashing place for workmen / volunteers, shed of the year type of hut-in-the-woods etc?

b - Approx. layout of the rest of the barn.

c - Something about the 3d - height of roof, height of mezzanine etc.

 

My thoughts based on on the info in the op are:

 

a - Consider getting the shower room *under* the mezzanine.

b - Seriously consider a "pod shower", as are used to build eg ensuites in student halls and Travelodges etc. You just hoick it in on a trailer, connect water, soil and lecky, put a frame round if you want it to look like a built-in shower room, and you are good to go. Could save a helluva lot of time, but some research needed.

 

Search term will be "bathroom pod", and they range from "designed to look standalone gorgeous in a warehouse flat" to "designed to be boxed in in a travelodge, caravan or nursing home". Prices may be from perhaps 2.5k. eg

Look for localish manufacturers, since delivery could be significant.

 

I might be inclined to put it on lockable smalls wheels or castors, or skids, and make a panel removable in the inside or outside bathroom wall so it can just be  disconnected and wheeled out if there are ever problems.
