Hi everyone, thanks in advance for any tips or help you can provide!
I'm having a loft conversion done early next year and I wondered you could help me out with the landing placement/door opening.
I've attached 2 files - the architects suggestion (which is not very good in terms of useable space and light) and then a second suggestion which is my own.
Note that we are looking to maximise the large bedroom space so are happy to lose the smaller bedroom by using the space as the ensuite bathroom and then a small study at the back.
I understand from regulations that there is a need for a landing at the top of the staircase and that the doors cannot open onto this space or must be set 400mm away from the edge. Does still apply if the door is on its own landing as well? Because of the bathroom door location I want to open the bedroom door onto the landing as we will always sleep with our bedroom door open so we can hear the babies downstairs. Having the bedroom door open will block the walkway to the bathroom
Thanks again in advance
