I want to knock small rooms together to form a 4m x 1.7m bathroom but the space has a supporting wall half way along the length that stretches across half the width. The wall supports the end of a main purlin in the roof. I cannot substitute steel beams due to a sloping ceiling. Any ideas on how I could work this into my design to avoid the room looking even thinner? Perhaps substituting a post in the centre of the room? Or are there transparent materials that can form a supporting wall? Or simply use it as a mirrored feature wall? Thanks for any helpful ideas!
As already mentioned, it sounds as though it will be the position to place a toilet , shower or bath.
It has a loo on one side and needs circulation space on the other side. I like the suggestion about making it look like an intentional bathroom feature. Perhaps two supporting posts with some towel shelves between the two? My structural engineer will be visiting but I wanted some ideas to fly past him before he starts his calculations.
PROHi Claire,
There are such things as "structural" glass blocks- i.e. glass blocks that can take load. It may be feasible to use these for at least part of the wall, reducing the depth of the solid element to make any niches an acceptable shelf/ cupboard depth. Otherwise you will lose half the width, which sounds a bit much. Talk to your engineer about how much you could substitute. Best of luck! Barbara
