Bueler, anyone lol ?

Why do you want a corner tub?

Depending upon the tub, and the backrest, the tub could possibly be very awkward to get into from the location that is left after you put in the shower...

Could you put a shower in the space where the tub is and then use a free standing tub along the wall, across from the vanity?

Thanks all, we did some digging and came up with some great ideas. The bride prefers a corner tub and that's her choice. I'm a shower kinda guy. We will add a ledge around the front perimeter that'll serve as a step.

Do some research of the safety of getting in and out with them.

That we did some time ago CP, regardless of the shape of the tub we are setting up so we can solidly mount a safety grab rail to assist with getting in and out.

The issue is that with the slanted backrest of many tubs, the flat portion that you want to step onto is relatively forward not at the back edge of the tub

A tub is completely unusable and inaccessible in that spot. At a minimum, that is where the shower needs to go, with the pony wall reduced for better access.

There is a giant amount of wasted space in this bathroom. Switching the toilet to in front of the window in the upper left would allow you to recapture some of that for better element organization. Placing the vanities across from each other on the long walls gives you better storage, and more room for the tub and shower at the bottom of the diagram.

Or, most people want the tub in front of a window, and start with placing it centered at the window on the top would give it the importance and access that your wife would appreciate.

PI, what does your architect suggest you do?

There's some things you need to consider -

1. You said she likes a corner tub...does that mean a built in tub? A unit for soaking or jets?

2. How big of a corner tub does she want. Corner tubs take up a lot of room. You have to consider the average corner tub at 54"x54" PLUS framing and such - if it's a built in or drop in.

3. Accessibility to the equipment of its a jetted or heated unit.

4. How large of a shower do you want.

in my experience, the best and most affordable of you are going soaker only, is to float a freestanding tub for a great designer look and to have a wet area shower tub combo - like the pictures

attached....

or like like these images separating the spaces...

This is what a corner builtin could look like

If this were were my own personal space, I would probably go with something to this affect

And no have a door on the shower, simple walkin and tile floors installed with Schluter water systems (only way to tile a shower and make sure it's water-tight) drained with a linear drain towards the shower head wall - so all of the water flows ---> that way and not out.

Ok so after a few hours, REVISED totally and now it works. Just need to add windows over the tub (3 casements) and a set of casements towards the commode or front of the house. Now it works with no corner tub.

Why would you possibly need a 10' vanity? Mine is 9' and it's way too big.

The space is there, may as well use it. We will have extra towel storage and the like in there too.

I'm confused. I thought your architect came up with a bathroom design for you. Why are you changing his design and using this one that has so much unnecessary space

I think your second design is a better use of the space.

Correct CP, we agreed to disagree on the bathroom area due to layout of sinks and location, same with laundry room. We wanted everything off the master bedroom and stacked. For our situation, it works better for us and the bride preferred a slightly different and larger space.
