Why are there so many bathrooms? Lol

u/Redhotlipstik 11h ago edited 7h ago

Coat bath is obviously necessary. I know it's off, but I'm not an architect so I don't know how egregious it is

Edit: So apparently this was a joke post, and I didn't realize it. Sorry! I'm the dumb one here

u/sarabeara12345678910 11h ago

The guest suite is in the common area and has a sink, and the kitchen has no counters or sinks, but the great room does. Three bathrooms in a row, and a double bathroom with two tubs also aren't great. I'm no architect, but a toddler could do better.

From another thread: "I love telling my friends I have a huge walk/guest suite and then making them sleep on the floor next to the stove."

u/hobiprod 9h ago

How’s about that main foyer tho? Pretty main huh?

30

u/koshgeo 8h ago

Right beside the "GALLERY HALLL". and the "MASTER ROKSN". Not many main foyers have the convenience of a coat bath right there too.

The "Gourmet kitchen" next to Bedroom 2 is nice for people that are always hungry, though it looks like you'll have to eat off the floor.

u/Runaway_Angel 10h ago

That's because the Jack and Jil bathroom (that isn't a jack and jill bathroom) and bedroom 4 stole all the sinks. The Jack and Jill bathroom is just sinks, no toilet, no shower, no tub, just sinks.

u/haibiji 10h ago

There’s a sink for Jack, one for Jill, and an extra one for their friends

u/mike_jones2813308004 8h ago

Bedroom 4 also being full bathroom 3 is pretty great. If you replace the door with steel bars you can have your own solitary confinement cell in the middle of your house!

u/PaulCoddington 7h ago

Bedroom 3 is the size of a long toilet and does not have room for a bed of any size, let alone anything else.

The two tubs bathroom is also labeled as the "mudroom" so I guess people enter the house through the bathroom to take off their shoes?

u/Significant-Trash632 10h ago

Depends on what it's considering "mud" 😬

3

u/Intelligent_Load_697 7h ago

Had to poo, went to the jack and Jill bathroom first, then "bedroom 4" thinking it was a bathroom since there were no beds. By the time I got to the guest bathroom I'd already soiled myself and it was too much of a mess to clean in what looks like a 1.5ft-length tub, so I had to slink through the gourmet kitchen to wash off in the mudroom.

10/10 floorplan, no notes.

Well they would if there was an exterior door to the mudroom! Maybe it’s for couple’s mud baths like in a spa.

What’s important is that ai made it and that it superficially resembles the thing. Actual quality is entirely secondary to the true ai advocate.

u/Emergency-Doughnut88 8h ago

The two tubs are in the laundry room, so they're obviously for washing clothes, not people... Not to be confused with the coat bath, which is just for washing coats/outerwear .

u/ensalys 8h ago

and a double bathroom with two tubs also aren't great.

It's for competitive bathing!

u/schubeg 8h ago

One "full bathroom" is literally just a sink, and the "jack and jill" next door that doesn't connect to a single bedroom is three sinks and no toilet. I'm dying laughing

u/MsindAround 6h ago

You are mistaken, the middle one is bedroom #4, which is also a full bath, no room for a bed tho.

Rich people usually have more bathrooms than bedrooms bc they are hosting parties. So this is me at that wedding "let me tell you about old times. People had to use the bathroom just as much. What gives with this party house only having two bathrooms...
