Got to think beyond the typical design usage of a traditional home when utilizing such small sq ft. Now if that is indeed the reason for the door swinging that direction, then a pocket door on the wall behind the toilet would be equally effective. However keeping the door swing in that direction allows the previously mentioned additional visual space yet it can easily be closed to allow simultaneous kitchen access when needed.

It would probably need to be made from something like old closet door hardware. Good idea though. A pocket door would help but it might be tricky to fin a free one.

It is actually almost complete. Thanks for the comment! I suspect they will figure that out as they put the house together. It is actually almost complete. Thanks for the comment!

In tiny places, these things are very important... well, in any space.

I love your idea and really like what you're doing with it. Just a helpfull hint though - if you want to keep a good relationship with the press, never publish anything before they print it. By publishing the piece before they print it, it becomes a worthless copy to them, and most would not print it at all if they found out. All the best in the future. E. Hi!
