You’re referring to a third bathroom, also known as the en-suite or master bath. While not always present in every home, it’s becoming increasingly popular and common especially in luxury homes, high-end apartments, and modern architecture.
In many cases, having an additional bathroom on each floor, such as around the main living areas or bedrooms, is seen as a desirable feature for various reasons:
- Convenience: A third bathroom can provide an extra level of comfort by giving family members or guests their own private restroom.
- Space efficiency: With more bathrooms in a home, it reduces congestion and overcrowding on each floor when multiple people are using the facilities simultaneously.
- Increased resale value: Adding an en-suite to your property might increase its selling price due to growing demands for this feature.
Some potential designs or layouts of third bathrooms include:
- En-suite master bath
- A bathroom adjacent to a bedroom with walk-in closet and dressing area
- An accessible, wheelchair-friendly facility suitable for a home care center or seniors’ housing
Please note that the feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and planning process will depend on factors like your existing space constraints, local regulations, and desired level of comfort.
How would you envision incorporating this additional bathroom in your living quarters?
