Hello everyone,
I'm posting my question here because I'm not exactly sure where else it fits. I'm currently in the process of buying a house (see my other thread ) and another interesting property has now come up as a short-term alternative, where an important point for us would be the second bathroom and whether such a thing could be realized:
The bathroom is on the east side on the upper floor (relatively small, about 4.5 sqm) with a bathtub (Picture 1), which we would probably replace with a shower. We practically never use the bathtub and I don’t find bathtubs very suitable for showering. Besides, this would save some space.
Directly below it is the guest toilet and below that in the basement is a storage cellar (see floor plan, Picture 2). According to the floor plan, it has the same dimensions as the bathroom on the upper floor. So my question would be whether a second bathroom could be realized there where the storage cellar is. I don’t know, but I think the water pipes and drains should run in the wall anyway if the guest WC and bathroom are above it.
A second option would be to build it in the hobby room in the basement (I tried to roughly draw it in (Picture 3)). There would be no window there, but there is already a washbasin and therefore probably the corresponding connections. However, there might be the problem that the water would need to be pumped up a bit from the drain, since the drain might be at a higher level.
What do you think? Which solution would be the most feasible?
Thanks and best regards,
Hubi
