Doesn't the open design create a privacy issue with the bathroom?

11 years ago

Cathedral ceilings are fantastic space openers, but when it comes to creating rooms under a single ceiling (like this one), it becomes a challenge to create roomed under it "after the fact". This bathroom is a perfect example of the obvious trade offs....

I could have put a ceiling over the bathroom ... or simply built it as a suite to the close bedroom reserved for guests. But it's perfect for me 1;-D)))

Or you could have pushed the walls clear up to the cathedral ceiling... That could create more privacy and give the kitchen vent a place to terminate into (ie a plausible structure). In any case it's loaded with trade offs....

PS we went through the same issue with a cathedral ceiling and room wall terminations...

I thought about that ... but I wanted to keep it all open, besides ... the bathroom is big and the toilet is hidden in a corner behind the shower, creating enough privacy for my needs ;-D)))
