Double bathrooms and bathrooms have become an urgent need in many families.
It is good to be able to buy a house with two bathrooms, and several generations live in the same house or with their parents, which solves the problem of inconvenience in going to the toilet from the source, and everyone is happy.
But there are always some situations that are forced by reality, so we can only retreat to the next best thing and choose "one to two bathrooms".
In today's article, we will take a look at some of the realities and precautions of the bathroom in combination with the case, and if you think it is useful, please like it
Live in a complete house and understand the renovation of the old house type - make an appointment for free room measurement service.

Improve the basic exercises of the old and the small.
Build two guards out of thin air.
In the 90s of the last century, the unifying disadvantage of the old and dilapidated was that the bathroom was narrow and dark, coupled with the increase in the personnel structure of the old room, the most common problem was: the bathroom was aging and not easy to use; Two or three generations living together is not enough and there is no privacy.
These problems are only superficial, the bigger bug is that in the 90s, the house drainage structure design of the building is mostly different-layer drainage, your bathroom drainage, sewage pipe is above the downstairs neighbor's bathroom, not you can change it, neighborhood contradictions, construction difficulty has greatly increased.
But that doesn't stop the demand for restroom renovations.
Figure **Network.
This is the case in the home of our old friend, fellow interior designer Wang Fan.
Three years ago, in order to facilitate the couple's commuting, he bought an old house of about 56 square meters near the Third Ring Road as a temporary wedding room, according to his plan, this house will accompany the two for at least 10 years, including pregnancy and childbirth.
Therefore, in order to facilitate the use, the "bathroom is planned to be changed from one to two" at the beginning of the design, and it is a major change.
The picture is a self-portrait.
In the original house, the bathroom was a small 4 dark guard, and the shower, toilet, and sink were compactly discharged, which was also the norm of the old house before the renovation.
Based on the demands of the young couple for two nights, Wang Fan used the "suite-style" design to change a second bathroom of about 3 out of thin air in the existing master bedroom.
The picture is the original bathroom on the top and the second bathroom on the bottom.
It stands to reason that the new addition of this bathroom should try to pick up the most core demands, such as a separate toilet room. But he has a toilet room, a shower area, and a single sink.
In addition, there is a small living room about 3m away from the original bathroom location, in other words, the design and construction of this "second bathroom" are difficult to the fullest.
The self-photography pipe is buried under the living room, and the pipe behind the card seat is also walked.
Those who pay attention to the change of the bathroom must know that it is taboo to reverse the smell of water and leakage, so the premise of the change is "as small as possible".
For example, the closer to the original sewer or sewage pipe is the better, the shorter the pipe, the better, and there must be a slope to prevent inconvenient drainage or clogged pipes.
But the second bathroom of Fanzi's house is not only fully functional, far from the main pipeline, but also involves the aesthetic problem of hiding the nearly 5m long pipe, how to do it?
In order to drain smoothly, the overall height of the second bathroom is raised by about 5cm on the basis of the original toilet pipes;
Picture: Live Fan self-photography It turns out that the bathroom is part of the height.
At the same time, in order to save the floor height of the small living room and make the ground flush with the floor of the master bedroom, the supervisor of the second bathroom took advantage of the original 5cm height difference of the floor slab, slotted above the floor floor, and partially buried it under the floor to cover it.
Only this step of operation, from the lowest point of the original toilet drain pipe to the highest point of the new toilet there is a height difference of 8cm, the couple has lived for three years, and the baby is nearly 1 year old, so it is no problem to use.

Wang Fan also specially added that he had greeted his neighbors downstairs before the change, and they said that you can just do the construction. "Maybe it's an old building, and they understand. ”
Before the manuscript was published, he also specially explained: Although there is no problem with the current use of his bathroom, he is a designer after all, and he knows the doorway and construction details of it, and it is not recommended that everyone blindly transform it when the idea is not mature.
If there is a need, it is better to find a professional construction team to come up with a plan, and it is more reliable to hand it over to a professional person.
This is also the suggestion of living in a fan, interlaced like a mountain, between the idea and the realization, especially the hard decoration piece, can not be saved, not to mention, the use of the old house itself, is the consumption and protection at the same time.
Japanese-style four separation.
Enduring. In fact, the most common thing is to use the concept of "Japanese-style four separation" to separate a single function, which can ensure that several needs are not disturbed at the same time.
Japan is affected by prefabricated housing, the design of this piece is more mature, they really build a solid wall, the toilet, bath (including shower), sink, housekeeping, these four functions are completely separated.
The concept of unit bath (integrated bathroom) of Japanese prefabricated housing.
The picture is a self-portrait.
The domestic situation is not quite the same, because the domestic overall or the impact of personalized design and local hardcover room delivery, although the "four separation" is no stranger to everyone, but in practical application, there are still subtle differences.
For example, in recent years, what everyone has seen the most is to use Changhong glass and ultra-clear glass + half wall as partitions to replace the solid wall and divide the four functional areas.
The picture is a self-portrait.
The advantages are obvious, glass partitions save space compared to solid walls, and the space is more transparent;
On the contrary, it is precisely because of this transparency that the people who go to the toilet or the shower are very insecure, and the sound insulation is not good, and there are some embarrassments, but everyone keeps silent.
Let's look at a practical example.
Laughing at Strovsky's house, the bathroom of the original 4, not only did not separate dry and wet, lacked storage space, and things were also a mess.
After the renovation, the designer built a new lightweight wall, with the help of frosted glass sliding doors to divide the laundry area into three with the toilet room, sink and shower room.
Going to the toilet and showering can be done separately, but washing clothes and going to the toilet are still "fighting" and cannot be done at the same time!
And it's a glass sliding door, and it's not sound at all to poop and pee, it's too bad.
The sink is open to the corridor, which is a lot more transparent, and there is an additional storage area, which is flexible and easy to use.
In short, it is a good thing that the four separations are accepted, but to achieve the true four separations, everyone still has some trade-offs for a house where every inch of land is valuable.
What if only one of the several functional areas is selected as a double bathroom?
It is not difficult to set up the sink outside, but according to the rigid needs, it has to be a toilet room.
Only add a toilet closet
You can save the emergency.
If the difficulty of Wang Fan's operation is full, it is relatively simple, and what is more suitable for young people's demands is to at least solve the problem of toilet tension.
Mr. Yang's family, the owner of our real family, moved to Haidian District because of their baby's schooling, because they are architectural professionals, the owners boldly started drastic changes to this 70-year-old house, one of the key points is to add a toilet room.
With only one toilet room, the problem of urgency for three people in my family to go to the toilet has been solved."
Before the renovation, the original bathroom was made straight from the foyer through the kitchen, which had a lot of space, but it was not well used.
After the renovation, an S wall was built in the middle and divided into two toilets, and the newly separated toilet room only added a 20cm long pipe at the bottom, and it was not moved largely.
It greatly improves the utilization rate, even if both parents come to live, there will be no embarrassment of waiting for the bathroom.
Comparison of floor plans before and after renovation.
The main bathroom is a bathroom cabinet + smart toilet, and the position of the wall-mounted toilet is reserved on the wall, so you can wash your hands after going to the toilet.
The wall on the shared wall was made in advance for a wall-mounted washing machine, which was just enough to power the bathroom mirror of the second bathroom.
The second bathroom is a toilet and shower, and going to the toilet, a separate shower, and washing hands can be completely solved in this space, and Mr. Yang also prepared a folding stool for his parents to sit and take a bath.
If you meet a husband at home who really doesn't want to sit on the toilet, it is like a small bar house to add a separate urinal for him in the second bathroom.
Let him stand up and solve his needs, but at the same time develop his own habit of cleaning at all times.
