Bathroom Design – The Process – Introduction

in Bath Design,Bathroom Standard Measurements,Graphic Standards

In the next six articles I’ll discuss the six phases of bathroom design to consider as you and your client plan your bathroom project.  You can use these as a checklist.  They should become your bathroom design process road map.  They will prompt you to ask the right questions, and arrive at the best design possible for your client’s needs.

Here are the six steps in a bathroom design process:

  1. Space - what space is available for this bathroom?
  2. Function - how is this bathroom going to be used?
  3. Budget - how much do they plan to invest in this bathroom?
  4. Layout - what is the best use of the available space?
  5. Product selection – within the defined budget, what products fulfill the function of the bathroom, fit their lifestyle and their budget?
  6. Building the bath – what process will be used to build this design?

Before I go on to Step 1, here is a drawing showing the basic graphic standards and measurements used in a typical bathroom:
