Fun layout. Only wondering if the doors on both sides of the bath tub are useable…one side seems like it will hit the bench and is there enough room to walk thru those around the tub?

I hope neither of you tend to get cold because with such a large shower, I'd be cold the second I stepped away from the shower head. To me your tub size would be the biggest I'd go for the shower. Big enough for 2 people but not so huge to be cold and drafty. (In reality, my last shower was 36" x 72" and we downsized our shower when we built our house to 42" x 60". It's the perfect size with one overhead shower head and one hand held.)

Wet room bathrooms are not a good idea. Unless you have a full time housekeeper to come in right after you shower each time and wipe everything down. Otherwise who else is going to do it? And they have to be designed just so, so they can drain properly or else you're looking at future problems.

I personally prefer one long vanity so we can share toothpaste and things like Tylenol. Of course you may feel differently and there's no wrong or right answer.

How big is this bathroom?

A 48" x 76" tub is not comfortable to sit in (even with your partner). Way too wide and too long. Additionally it will take forever to fill. Again I know this because our last tub in our condo we sold was 72" x 42" and it was too large and took forever to fill. (Unless of course you're extra tall)

This bathroom is huge. Consider instead making it "right-sized" and adding the space elsewhere. After all, how much time do you actually spend in the bathroom compared to the other spaces in your house?

Are you able to post the adjacent spaces?

Splashing out on oversized everything doesn't make a space comfortable, usable or impressive. Unless you're imagining a film crew following you through your morning routine, this palace of cleanliness is just conspicuous consumption.

The larger the area that gets wet every time someone takes a shower, the longer the exhaust has to run to get rid of the damp and the humidity.

Thanks all for the feedback. I appreciate the suggestions and have noted that the wet room is not ideal, and the bathtub should be a smaller size. We already questioned whether a large shower footprint will be cold and unnecessary.

The bathroom space was initially designed to include his/her closets on either side of the shower/bath. We decided that the dual closets in center of room would make the room to dark so we decided to move "her" closet to an alternate location across the hall. The proposed bath dimensions are 29'x17'. And based on the comments, we should make some changes and likely reduce the size.

Our shower is around 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 (feet). I love it… so glad I didn’t reduce it as we originally planned. It’s not cold and my favorite part… the glass rarely gets wet so it stays clean… of course it doesn’t include an entire tub space like your plan does.

After 45 years of doing this, I have never had a client that wanted their master bathroom larger than their kitchen.

That bathrooms is larger than most living rooms. How big is your house and your bedroom?

Ferber, bigger isn't always better. May I suggest that you read the book, The Not So Big House by Sarah Susanka. Yes you are probably building a larger house. But her book will give you some good ideas on making the house and rooms right sized.

Heck my house for just myself and DH is 2870 square feet. Certainly more than most people would consider necessary for two retired people, but it's right sized for us and for our lifestyle. It's only 6 rooms, and we put the square footage into the rooms we spend the most time in and where we entertain.

Consider doing the same thing.

Mark - The house is 4209 sq ft. The Kitchen is 15 x 26 and connects to an open concept great room that is 30x26.

With the primary bathroom we felt the the sizing was off, but I was more concerned over the usability and function rather than size. After we requested the revision to move the closets, we ended up with a large space that needs to be reworked;...hence the reason I posted here. I know that there many experienced generous experts on here. Thanks so much for the help.

Cpartist - I will check out the Not So Big House book by Sarah Susanka. We have 5 in our household, 3 young children. The bedrooms feel about the right size at an average of 14x14.

We will continue work on refining the plan. Thanks!

You should get a local competent architect involved in the project. Depending on what state you live in, a house that size will require an architect. The sooner you get one involved the sooner you will be happy.

You could swap the tub and shower -- make the shower location against the window (assuming privacy glass of some sort there) so it's a bright space that you'll use and enjoy more, if the tub is just an occasional use. Put the tub between the sinks, or rework that part too.

Mark - We do have an Architect, but we were looking for additional feedback. Thanks All.

ferber, please make sure your guy/gal is a LICENSED architect in your state. Now I know that sounds like I'm talking down to you and I apologize in advance, but you'd be surprised how many people come here saying they're working with an architect and when questioned further, it turns out to be just a "designer/draftsman".

I worked with a "draftsman" who thought he was a designer. He wasn't but thankfully I have a bit of a design background and I got lots of help here from those more knowledgeable. If I had it to do over? I'd hire an architect and save myself months of stress trying to get the draftsman to do things correctly.

Additionally, has your architect already given you elevations and how the house will sit on the site?

Oh does your kitchen also include a dining table in it? I ask because if it's just the working kitchen, that too is quite large unless it's laid out well so you have a "compact" work zone.

What will be in your open concept great room? Have you laid out furniture yet in the room? If designed well it can be a wonderful entertaining space but if not, it will just feel cavernous.

14' x 14' bedrooms for the kids is a nice generous size. That will allow for a nice complement of furniture for them as they grow.

I'm responding to your question about split vanities and functional superioity... As long as the amount of counterspace is the same, I think split vs one long vanity provides the same functionality. But personally, I like split vanities because my husband tends to leave everything he uses out on the sink and I'm one to put things back in drawers and medicine cabinets. We've had both types of vanities and with them split, I don''t have to look at his mess when I'm using my area and he's also responsible for cleaning his own space (and he doesn't encroach into mine.)

Your architect is not doing his job very well.
