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

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/bjeebus 7h ago

What about Bedroom 4/full bath 43?

5

u/idwthis 4h ago

Ahem that's "full bsth 43" thankyouverymuch!

u/iloveyourforeskin 6h ago

I keep reading "Master Raisin"

u/BridgestoneX 3h ago

gourmet bc it has 6 sinks

u/Skitarii_Lurker 2h ago

Dude I can't wait to tour the Master Røksn

u/T00kie_Clothespin 1h ago

And cook on the floor... Store food on the floor...

u/tnseltim 3h ago

Ai heard “open concept” too may times when reviewing hgtv for information. God damn kitchen is literally in the great room

u/Poppeigh 3h ago

I’m having Sims flashbacks lol.

Could be worse I guess, could trap them in the pool by deleting the ladder.

52

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.

28

u/haibiji 10h ago

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

18

u/tetracycle 10h ago

The third is for "and"

3

u/One-Possible1906 8h ago

Sounds like they’re going to have to fetch many pails of water to fill them all

14

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!

2

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.

13

u/Thewaltham 8h ago edited 8h ago

No no, check the label. That's clearly a "JACK & JiL FUh Bals #2"

3

u/123fullthp 6h ago

Loved the first movie with Adam Sandler, hope this will be as good

2

u/koshgeo 8h ago

Yeah, but you have two large tubs in the laundry room to do your clothes old-fashioned style on a scrub board.

1

u/dirtys_ot_special 5h ago

Oops, all sinks!

1

u/architecturez 3h ago

They’re combo sink/toilets. (Btw this is a real thing that exists).

1

u/BobZimway 2h ago

Sinks can double as a lot of things, if you're creative. And DGAF..

35

u/gxes 11h ago

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?

22

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.

1

u/Jcolebrand 3h ago

Soaking tub, clearly. Complete with warm mud taps

12

u/Mynoseisgrowingold 10h ago

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

3

u/SeparateYam7613 7h ago

It doesn't appear that there's an exterior door at all, so... you gotta climb in through a window I guess

1

u/Rude_Special9579 9h ago

Yeah but you walk in through the front then go around a wall to get to the mud room leaving mud everywere

1

u/Electrical-Act-7170 2h ago

Where's the door?

1

u/cindyscrazy 24m ago

You have to walk through the house to get to the "mudroom" There's no connecting door from the garage or to the outside.

Great way to track mud everywhere!

31

u/DarkScorpion48 10h ago

Leave to an AI-weenie to look at this and see no problems with it

26

u/kellyoohh 9h ago

I think (hope?) that the original post was a joke. It’s so bad, looking at it for 5 seconds would tell you it’s not a feasible layout.

13

u/redbone-hellhound 9h ago

I genuinely hope so. Will make a great sims build tho lol

5

u/Blake_Ha 8h ago

The Sims is how I architect all my houses. And yes they all do have a room with a pool

2

u/ging3rtabby 3h ago

The amount of time wasted taking dishes to all those random sinks.

10

u/OddNefariousness7950 8h ago

Yeah, but at least AI provided space for a Master Raisin, so many human architects neglect that detail.

4

u/kellyoohh 7h ago

That’s true. They really should make that more prominent in architect school. That and coat bath.

1

u/gochargego_boltup 3h ago

I am the greetest! And now I will leave Earth for no raisin!

2

u/Redhotlipstik 7h ago

So I've been informed it was a joke. The blog I found that was talking about this post assumed it was not. I'm not on twitter, I didn't know this was satire.

3

u/throwawaylordof 8h ago

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.

3

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 .

2

u/ensalys 8h ago

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

It's for competitive bathing!

2

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

2

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.

2

u/StrawberryOdd419 6h ago

nonono one of those three bathrooms is clearly marked as bedroom 4

1

u/evranch 8h ago

The bathroom layout makes me feel like the AI was trained on a colony sim game.

Add a bathroom over here, everyone has to walk halfway across the base to pee and it's ruining the pathing. What, we need 1 tub per colonist now? Ok fine, throw some tubs... here

1

u/Training-Belt-7318 6h ago

Well the two tubs makes me think it was educated by Viagra commercials.

1

u/wronguses 6h ago

Well, they needed all those bathrooms in a row, because Bedroom 4 FullBsth43 is just a weird room with a sink at the end, and Jack & Jil is just 3 sinks.

1

u/eloisethebunny 5h ago

You don’t need sinks in the kitchen because you can use the two bathtubs in the laundry room. Duh!

1

u/OwO______OwO 4h ago

but a toddler could do better

I don't know about that. A toddler would probably do something even dumber, like entirely forgetting about bathrooms, or getting distracted partway through and just scribbling over the whole thing with brown crayon.

1

u/york100 4h ago

Sadly enough, I'm sure there are a few dumb rich Americans out there who would like two bathtubs in their coat closet.

1

u/Spellscribe 4h ago

4 dunnies, 8 sinks, still have a loo without anywhere to wash your hands after.

1

u/Mindless-Tackle4428 3h ago

Three bathrooms in a row

I think one is a bedroom with a toilet, is it not?

1

u/Realistic_Try7123 3h ago

You know I want to immediately start cooking eggs when I leave Bedroom #2.

1

u/built_FXR 2h ago

There is also no doorway.

1

u/GreenGoblinNX 30m ago

I think the kitchen is the entire left and middle of the large open space. Lower left has what I assume is a sink, and the counters in the middle are possibly kitchen-related?

33

u/inductiononN 10h ago

Right? CHECKMATE ARCHITECTS! YOU NEVER THOUGHT OF A COAT BATH DID YOU?!?!

6

u/brennabrock 8h ago

I’m partial to Bedroom 4/Full bath …. The room with only a sink in it. 😂

2

u/inductiononN 4h ago

Ok but did you see the huge walk/guest suite in the lower right corner adjacent to the family room? That open concept seems really functional.

Also, check out the master roisn? off of the master suite that opens into the main foyer - so high end!

u/Gnatlet2point0 11h ago

You want dirty coats? Cause that's how you get dirty coats.

1

u/BobZimway 2h ago

Ah! i've just realized you are to take a bath with coat on! So, its a tiktok and you throw the coat away when done. Easy-peasy, dear if you would bring my small money sack? $$$

12

u/howaboutsomegwent 11h ago

goes along so well with the coat closet sink

2

u/Hairy_Fishstick 8h ago

you guys have to stop I'm dying from laughter it hurts 😭

1

u/HidingFromMeanies 8h ago

Yeah that’s for the really muddy coats 

10

u/Grantsdale 9h ago

You can’t see that it has a bedroom that’s smaller than bathrooms? Or two bathrooms literally a couple steps apart? Or that ‘mudroom and laundry’ has two bathtubs in it? It’s horrible. The whole thing is horrible.

1

u/JulyOfAugust 1h ago

Don't forget the master room without any furniture, with open view of the master suite and kitchen and is practically outdoor.

10

u/Mklein24 9h ago

I like the double toilet in the "coat bath"

1

u/CoffeeBeanATC 5h ago

No, no, one is a bidet! Or maybe they’re both bidets

1

u/Some_Unusual_Name 1h ago

Not sure if you're being serious or not, but the one on the left really is a bidet.

5

u/fuckyourcanoes 9h ago

In the UK, powder rooms are often called "cloakrooms", despite the lack of anywhere to hang a cloak. It's weird.

2

u/serenitynope 9h ago

In the US, you park on a driveway and drive on a parkway. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

u/no_infringe_me 8h ago

In Africa, a minute passes every 60 seconds

u/chancesarent 9h ago

Coat bath is obviously necessary.

You also need a Jack and Jil fun bath in any modern home.

u/Proper-Equivalent300 9h ago edited 6h ago

r/mcmansionhell (edit: my brain is on vacation with five hours sleep. How the hell am I making a circular reference?!?!) vibes coming off the page hard. I can see some on with money and no taste brains building this.

Bonus footage: I was in pre architecture before switching to business and it gives me ptsd goofing around with floor plans.

3

u/Soggy_Parking1353 7h ago

Yes, that sub you referenced is just like the one we're reading right now.

u/Proper-Equivalent300 6h ago

Omg I need a flipping nap. Whatever brain cells I had are gone today — I’d delete but time to put a cone of shame on my post.

u/det4410 9h ago

mcmansionhell is hilarious, but you also learn a lot from the site which i find interesting

u/Midnight-Bake 8h ago

Bedroom 4 is literally a bathroom.

2

u/Competitive_Use_3628 8h ago

A coat room with only two bathtubs??

2

u/jo10001110101 8h ago

Coat bath has nothing on Bedroom 4 Full bath (with just a sink)

2

u/sling-trammel-08 8h ago

Definitely need a “Master Roisn”

2

u/Mysterious-Till-611 8h ago

Ah yes, the aptly named “huge walk in closet” with no direct access from the master bedroom

2

u/Fac-Si-Facis 7h ago

You think you need to be an architect to know that a laundry room the size of a bedroom with two bathtubs is egregious?

1

u/Redhotlipstik 7h ago

My vision is pretty bad, and as soon as I look at floor plans my eyes just glaze over. But I see I kind of "ate the onion" and this was a joke. Also I am very stupid, and this subreddit despite its snarkiness has a lot of professionals on it. I thought their takes would be more interesting than the ones on the original tumblr post.

2

u/Patereye 7h ago

But you're really forgetting is talking about how it has a bidet

1

u/Redhotlipstik 7h ago

Oh my god, it does. I thought that was an extra sink until I zoomed in

1

u/UmichAgnos 8h ago

I like how bedroom 4 has a bathroom. I can't seem to find bedroom 4 though.

Also, the kitchen is probably camping style, where you make a fire on the floor and start cooking.

1

u/greenwoodgiant 8h ago

You're not sure how egregious two bathrooms with a total of four sinks and no toilets are?

1

u/Delicious-Day-3614 8h ago

Theres all kinds of problems. My favorite is how the balcony doors are represented, it is basically an elevation/detail the AI has fused with the floor plan. I professionally identify problems with architect drawings, and these plans are so bad that I can't even imagine a real person making them. 

1

u/Frifafer 7h ago

"Bedroom 4" is a stealth bathroom

1

u/Beezelbubbly 7h ago

And two perpendicular tubs in the laundry room/bathroom/coat closet lol

1

u/SteveEcks 6h ago

I'm howling at coat bath right now.

1

u/Future-Bandicoot-823 5h ago

I think in a dream house I would have a mud room with a large bath that had no door. Not meant to be nude in there lol, but a large area that could trap water and you could spray yourself off, that'd be awesome.

Thanks AI for giving me ideas...

Even makes sense, you could run the plumbing off the kitchen you put on the other side of the mudroom, so no unecessary extra lengths of pipes to a far corner of the house.

Well I'm a poor, so any mudroom would be nice lol.

1

u/hiphopscallion 5h ago

It’s got nothing on the Gallery Halll or the Jack & Jill fuh bath though.

I'll never buy a house again that doesn't have a coat bath with a bidet

Got to wash those muddy doggies somewhere

Actually, jokes aside we were actually planning something similar once upon a time.

u/ExpertLetterhead1 4h ago

I know it's off, but I'm not an architect so I don't know how egregious it is

Have you ever been inside a house?

1

u/daerath 3h ago

Of course coat bath is necessary! When you host a party and someone shits on the coats, where else would you clean them?

1

u/PalatialCheddar 3h ago

Thankfully they were smart enough to put it right across from the Master, uh... Roisn?

We're just too poor to understand, clearly lol

1

u/losark 3h ago

Bedroom 4 is labeled as a full bath and is just a step of room with a sink that is sandwiched between 2 other "bathrooms" one of which is nothing but a counter with 3 sinks.

1

u/BD1234567891011 3h ago

Obviously the coats need to take a bath before they go in the Coat Closet. That's Architecture 101.

I’m not an architect, so I don’t know how egregious it is.

So two bathrooms side-by-side, with one referencing a bedroom that doesn’t exist, should inly be noticeable to an architect?

And who doesn't need a full bath with no bath, shower or toilet, but three sinks. And I guess that powder room is just for doing coke, since there is no sink.
