Downstairs half bathroom

We are really happy with how the downstairs bathroom turned out. It is a half bathroom - just a toilet and a hand washbasin. It is under the stairs and we were never really sure that it would be possible to fit a bathroom under the stairs. Happily this was one aspect of the design that the architect was confident about and we're pleased we followed his advice.

Of course, it's still small - about 1.1m wide and 1.5m long. Unbelievably this turned out to be big enough even to have the door open to the inside so that it wouldn't obstruct the downstairs living space.

We had the same problem with the wash basin here as we did in the main bathroom - how to mount it.

Washbasin Mounting

The constructor convinced us that he had a solution. And it turned out ok, although this little countertop looks a little contrived or artificial. The reason for the strange shape is that we had bought a faucet that needed to be mounted in a way that gave us access to the tap, to be able to turn it.

Anyways, it turned out fine.

And most importantly when I stand up after doing my business I don't bang my head on the underside of the staircase.
