This bathroom serves both a master bedroom and a visiting child. Rather than build two separate bathrooms, resources were combined to make the bathroom as beautiful as possible. An alcove will make any room do double duty by creating a space within a larger area. Flanked by the side of a built-in cabinet, this television is designed to be visible only when sitting in an alcove. From the adjacent living area, you don't even know it's there.
Floor plans are deceptive because they show only two dimensions.
When a ceiling height varies, there's nothing on the plan to tell us so. This skylight alcove simply looks like more floor space on the plan, yet in the photo you can see that its character is very different from the rest of the room because of the sloped ceiling and low kneewall. This home office is filled with light and is as interesting and comfortable as the rest of the house. All rights reserved.
