Non-Clicky Poll : D&R related
I am just trying to see how other people feel about the layout of a "Master Suite"
Would you think it's weird if the bathroom wasn't immediately off the bedroom but obviously still within the suite?
Our suite we're designing for our addition will have a bedroom, 3/4 bath, walk-in closet, office and laundry room so there's a lot in there.
So would you expect to go straight from the bedroom area into the bathroom without walking down any type of hallway?

Yea that's what I'm afraid it's not going to feel like.
I'll try to explain it the best I can, obviously a visual is easier but I don't have one right now.
Basically you'll walk into the "suite" and straight ahead is the laundry room. To the left of the laundry room is a large closet. To the left of that is the bedroom.
Now if you go back to the door you walk in- and you're looking at the laundry room again, to the right is the bathroom and to the right-ish of that is the office.
Does this make sense? So essentially you'd have to pass the closet and laundry ro to be in the bathroom.

Tinypic wouldn't load all the way so try that? Again i just quickly drew it out. It's not quite to scale but the idea is there.

My biggest concern would be having the office and as part of the suite. If I were a homebuyer with children or teens, I wouldn't want them to have to come into my bedroom to use the computer (and maybe that isn't an issue today and I'm just stuck in 98).
I think the distance between the bedroom and bathroom isn't a problem, because it's still behind closed, private doors, but people want to be able to walk around neeked without worrying about someone using the computer or washing clothes. As a teenager I wouldn't have wanted to walk through my parents' bedroom every time I wanted to do one of those things.
This might work.
DD- those are definitely points I said to Kevin. The office is our office though, not for the kids. They'll have their own office area in our den and the basement if necessary. But the laundry thing is a good point.

I like the layout a lot actually (thanks for all the work to put up a visual)! I agree with DD though and would possibly reconsider the laundry room being in your master suite for the reasons she mentioned...unless you never plan on having your kids do their own laundry. I freely admit that I never did until I went to college and didn't even know how to work the washing machine until then.
I think I'd turn the laundry room space into a giant closet

Kevin drew up my chicken scratch drawing in chief architect and it looks great! Thanks for all of your help!
DD- my dream is to have the laundry on the 2nd floor so I don't have to lug it to the basement etc. it's a must have for me :-). The closet is 10'x10 ish and the bathroom is like 16'x10 or something like that. So they're pretty big as it is :-)
