Bathroom Remodeling Architectural Plans
A sample bathroom-remodeling project is outlined with room drawings and accompanying text to depict the transformation. The moderately sized sample bathroom has insufficient closet space, particularly accessible for guests to access for personal, bathroom amenities. A dimensioned and annotated floor plan in a line drawing of interior space is included. The remodeling project includes chopping the lavatory countertop in half and installing in a bathroom closet. The plan is modified to obtain maximum bathroom space, and the next phase takes place. An angled lavatory is explored, but the final product included moving the toilet, adding a closet and shifting a bathroom wall.
