I don't think you could make it work. Either you couldn't open the W/D doors, or you couldn't get into the shower, or both. There's enough wall, but both ends are blocked by the other fixtures. As it is, you may have a struggle making the appliances functional in the space you have, with maybe some storage on either side.

Good points. We'd have to steal space from the dining or hallway to enlarge the bathroom. I wonder if moving the washer/dryer outside of the bathroom in the "hall" outside the door would be a better location.

Agree with amc, not sure it's possible. Does the loft space have any room for it?

Stackable washers and dryers are *huge* -- look more closely at the space. That little bit of hallway looks good until you think about an appliance that's 30" deep -- it would crowd both doorways. On the other hand, maybe you could put your coat closet behind the door, on the toilet wall, and then build your laundry in the vague space marked "storage" -- if there were a door or curtain in front of the appliances, and/or you used most of the depth to make a bit of a room, then you wouldn't have to look at them when entering the house.

If it's a vacation house, I'd keep them in the basement. I see those stairs going down..

acm - Basement is not an option, at least not a budget friendly one. The home is built on a steep slope, so the basement living space is lower than the crawlspace, which contains all the plumbing. Any new plumbing in the basement living space would be below-grade, require drilling through 14" concrete foundation for plumbing, as well as a pump to eject the drain water out.

How about washer and dryer near full bath upstairs?

Loft may not have enough room either - one side of the loft is dormered and the other not, so an extreme slope from the A-frame roof. Here's a general loft plan (read L to R: stairs, bed, bathroom) - we're still playing with the location of the bed vs the bath and swapping those two.

There would not be enough clearance for a washer/dryer within the given space. It would not function well. I would suggest to either keep the shower or have that bathroom as a powder room.

The washer/dryer would function best where all the bedrooms are so that they're in closer proximity to the majority of the closets.

ninigret - The cabin sleeps up to 6-8 (4 in basement, 2 in loft, and 2 on fold-out couch) with only one bathroom currently and no laundry. We are adding a bathroom in the loft. We debated whether we need 2 showers and if only one shower - would we locate it on main or loft - either way, the basement guests (which are typically our kids and their friends) have to come upstairs for a bathroom. We've talked with our architect about the laundry possibility and meet later this week to discuss.

good luck! might be time for an outdoor laundry shed! ;)

Might just end up sticking with the currently laundry method - 2 sets of linens with one set in transit back and forth from main home or laundromat.

So next question is 2 full baths? OR only one shower in loft?

A vacation cottage could be a good location for anow outdoor shower.
