Floor plan design city villa 180m² with basement

Well, it's something you have to get used to but not so bad. Maybe I'll use the other bathroom in the morning, but still, the children should hear as little as possible of the activities in the bathroom.

Back there (top right of the plan) they won't hear you :)

Then the bathtub is still in the other bathroom. I might use the smaller bathroom in the morning, but the children should hear or notice as little as possible from the large "family bathroom." It’s also kind of annoying. Both should still remain accessible via the hallway.

What activities exactly? Make sure the poor kids don’t wake up before 6 a.m. from all the doors opening and closing. Otherwise, I don’t see why you’d plan the main bathroom between the kids’ rooms if you’re worried about the noise from activities and afraid of the consequences for the kids.
You also have to be realistic that in a "kid-filled" family you can’t really enjoy a long bath, at least not undisturbed ;)

All good, happy New Year :)

Otherwise, I wouldn’t know why you’d plan the main bathroom between the children’s rooms if you respect the noise from activities and fear the consequences for the children. One shouldn’t fool oneself into thinking that in a “large family with many children” you can still bathe extensively, at least not undisturbed ;)

All good, Happy New Year! :)

I hope you had a good start into the new year?

I just don’t want the children standing in bed when someone is blow-drying their hair or showering in the bathroom...

I hope you all slid safely over?

But that will probably happen if you use the bathroom in the middle of the children's room in the morning. At least in your plan, your fear is justified! From your point of view, you shouldn't place the bathroom between the rooms.

Personally, I always wonder what parents think about how their children or other family members might react to ambient noises.
In my opinion, no one has a problem with noises when people treat each other considerately – not even toilet flushes or other water sounds.

Well then... happy new year :)

I am quite aware that noises can never be avoided 100%. I just wonder whether it might be better to use 17.5 cm bricks instead of 11.5 cm ones to significantly reduce the noise level coming from the bathroom? Unfortunately, I have no experience regarding to what extent modern bricks dampen sound.
