Basement apartment plan dilemma.

3 years ago
last modified: 3 years ago

Project: Basement split into 2 sections. A one bedroom apartment with option of 2 bedrooms, and a non-apartment side that is accessible from main floor. The way I had designed the second bedroom was so that it would be easy to have the apartment and instant 2 bedroom, or just a 1 bedroom and leave the 2nd bedroom as an extra for main floor.What I am showing you is what is currently rough framed as of now. I still need to design:- 1 closet for one of the bedrooms- 2 full bathrooms(1 apartment bathroom and 1 non apartment bathroom)- 1 apartment laundry area- 1 non-apartment laundry areaI have tried so many different layouts to make this work and I just got to the point where I deleted that whole section to give somone else a fresh start. What really is ruining the whole design is where the sewer main is located. It is right smack in the way of everything. The bathrooms need an underground sump pump, so I tried to make this area a small utility area that is accessible from the non-apartment side of the basement so as to not disturb the tenant in case of future maintenance needed. BUT, with my eye and lack of experience, I can not seem to make the space work properly.I am mosty concerned with a layout for the bedroom closet, both bathrooms and the apartment laundry. The non-apartment existing laundry can be moved and/or does not necessarily have to be incorported into its bathroom as I am fine with it being located in an unfisnished area. Also please keep in mind sump pump location and service/accessability. These will be real bathrooms, not saniflo systems. If someone can please offer a design to put this to rest, I can finally button this up. Thank you.Attached is a photo. It might be a little blurry as I can not seem to figure out how to attach a .pdf file here. If its too blurry, here is a link to a shared folder where it can be seen in PDF format. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/85ghuv1hwgwohad/AAA079K9xDp18-pnxHZfGxqqa?dl=0
