Guidelines for bathroom spaces
When possible, place basins, baths and WCs against the parapet or knee wall to maximise space under sloped roof. By adding a roof window over, with optimal linings, you can increase head height by approximately 200mm depending on the depth of your roof construction.
A strategically sized roof window can offer daylight along with easily controlled ventilation whilst maintaining privacy - something often unachievable with traditional facade windows.

FLOOR PLAN BEFORE
Dormers are often used to gain additional head height when a layout suitable to the attic space seems difficult to achieve. Often the expensive ’additional’ space is impractical & under utilised.
FLOOR PLAN AFTER
By using the required heights for ergonomic movement it is possible to maximise the use of space under a sloped roof, particularly with strategically placed roof windows to create additional head height where needed.
