Extension above garage - new bedroom planning

[clarkey]

PH Experts,

I would like you advice on our current project. We are building a new room above a double garage - it will have internal dimensions of 5.25m by 4.6m. I want to fit a bedroom, en-suite and dressing room into this space.
My current plans are in the picture - 2 rows of 2m long ikea fitted wardrobes, with a metre between them, going into a en-suite with plenty of room for bog, shower and sink. The window in the en-suite is 800x400 and 1700mm off the ground. windows in the bedroom are 1200x1200.

I think this leaves me with a bedroom roughly 3m by 4.6m. Although this is fine, leaving about 0.7m down each side of the bed, it is a bit narrower than you'd choose. I need to decide internal walls and electrics in the next week, so have to make decisions!

Would anyone plan the space differently? We'll only have a bed, two bedside tables and a chest of drawers in the actual bedroom.

Thanks for your help, can't seem to make any decisions!!!!

That corridor in the bedroom is a bit of a waste of space and the dressing room isn't really big enough to get dressed in so again essentially just another corridor.

I'd favour two spacious rooms (en-suite and bedroom/dressing room combined) over three compromised rooms.

This is my concern. This is plan B that I hadn't attached

Cancel the pointless dressing room and put wardrobes across where the head of the bed is. Put bed on opposite wall.

That could be the best plan

Thanks for your help. I think I am there. Make room for 3.5m of wardrobes, and I have space to make the en-suite a bit longer if I want to. Pocket door makes sense too.

This is what the dimensions given amount to, assuming 130mm for the stud wall

Those dimensions are round the wrong way - it is roughly 5250mm wide, so 3500mm of wardrobe and 120mm of stud leaves a bit over 1600mm wide en-suite, which should be fine? It is 4600mm the other way, so the bed comes around about halfway

So more like this then-



I can draw the rest of the stuff in if you provide the dimensions.

Thanks, my wife will appreciate it!

2x 1200mmx1200mm windows on left wall
1x 800mmx400mm window on back right corner of ensuite high up
1.6mx2.0m ensuite (no idea of layout in there currently)
762mm door bottom right

Sketchup file would be great if you could - clarke2 AT hotmail DOT com

It's actually a bit bigger than I thought - 3.5m of wardrobes would leave space for a 1.75m by 2.00m bathroom. The windows have a gap of 700mm either side, and 1000m in the middle, allowing something for plaster.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it. I am tempted to keep the floor open so I can see in the garage though!
