I have always wanted to make the entire room waterproof and get rid of the shower door completely on a small bathroom. I would curb the toilet mounting up 1 inch. Same for sink penetrations if they were to be through the floor. Crazy but cool. That is gonna be a wet room with the laundry in there as well. Is there absolutely nowhere else the stacked units can go?

Thank you @trickyputt. Unfortunately, there is nowhere else to put the washer/dryer. It is a 2nd floor Victorian flat, and otherwise the laundry is in the basement, coin-op and shared with the building. :( We looked at putting it into a hall closet, but we would have to lose the only storage closet in the entire house 3 BR house. So, trying hard to make it work but it is eating up real estate!

I have put laundries in kitchens, but my personal favorite is in the bedroom or near the clothes closet. I am lazy that way. Older architecture often discounted closet storage or the latest indoor plumbing of the day but favored larger rooms from which I would steal space by throwing up a wall and creating a concealed utility area. You really have to get out of the box sometimes. You also have to deal with 4x4 studs and different wall construction, but you can go crazy in the attic running utility supply wherever you wish. Drainage is another matter, and if I could not tie into existing, I have gone right out the exterior wall. Wish I could be of more service,

The only out of the box Idea I can muster right now regarding that door / w/d placement is a type of hanging rolling door used on barns up in snow country. Mount the support to the ceiling and let the door slide over in front of the w/d. This is alignment not currently on the plan, and would require a slightly larger shower toward the interior of the room to catch spray and drip off the bottom of the door. Also kinda cool in that custom glass door design kinda way. The door could easily slide into something of a channel, and would work as if it were a shower curtain rather than a perimeter sealed door unit..cr lawerence has many types of glass fittings. Some drilling of the glass might be required.

Shower curtain? For some reason, I am the only person alive that hates seeing the inside of a shower. It's always full of shampoo bottles and razors.

@bry911 Thank you! We hadn't explored the bi-fold doors. Definitely looking for something frameless to make the space feel open and airy. I re-posted this and tagged home building. This is our first draft of plans so we still have time to re-arrange if we need to.

You could make your shower bigger by using a neo-angle all the way to the edge of the vanity, and have a double-swinging (swings both in and out) door. That gives you an extra 2' of shower space!

Thank you Melissa! I was thinking a neo-angle may be a good option here. I love the images you attached, they look so fresh and modern and in line with the style we are going for.

Glad to help, happy building!
