Loft bathroom
Planned around the slopes.
A bathroom in a loft conversion, where sloping ceilings decide where you can stand. Clever planning puts the bath or toilet under the slope and the shower where there's height.

What it is
A bathroom under the roof, often with one or more sloping ceilings and roof windows.
Good for
Using the space
A bath fits nicely under a slope, since you sit or lie in it.
Light
Roof windows bring in lots of daylight.
What to weigh up
Head height
You need full height where you stand: the shower, the basin and in front of the toilet.
Water pressure
Pressure can be lower at the top of the house, which matters for the shower.
Drainage
Waste pipes need a route down to the soil stack.
