How to divide rooms?

On top floor I have long narrow strip 11 feet x 35 feet.

{Plan A}      Original Plan

One room 11 feet x 16 feet with three windows

One room 11 feet x 19 feet with with three windows.

 

 

{Plan B}     New Plan according to me.

One room 11 feet x 16 feet with three windows. (same)

Added a Bathroom in between two rooms 5 feet x 11 feet. with a one small window.

One room 11 feet x 14 feet with two windows. One windows close to the edge of the wall.

The 11 feet x 14 feet room to me looks small compared to other rooms in the house. Kind of  look square which I was trying to prevent. The Bathroom kind of looks narrow strip.

I looked at many Indian and American.house plans. No room came out to 11 feet x 19 feet. So I decided to truncate. I thought adding another wall for bathroom would give better support to the roof slab. Meaning two walls of the bathroom would share the load (weight) of the roof slab.

Know I am thinking that Plan A is better than Plan B. Because of more open space added with 11 feet x 19 feet would be better.

What do you think?

Hello Kitan,

According to the plan as described by you it is simple and you have to construct one wall of 4.5 “thickness on RCC slab under the top floor. If you consider plan B for making bathroom and two rooms, you have to construct two numbers 4.5” thick walls on the slab. For making bathroom you have to make necessary arrangements for water supply, pipe line from sewer pipe line. For fixing water closet, washbasin and pipe lines necessary recess should be made into RCC slab and walls. For making bathroom all pipes should be taken from ground level or should be jointed with pipe lines already fitted into bathroom at ground floor. For this purpose necessary dismantling should also done at ground floor. We are in view that if you have no requirement of additional bathroom at top floor level, the plan A is better.
        
If you would supply complete plan of top floor, we were in better position to provide detailed advice about the construction of rooms in the space available at top floor. In this case we have to consider the position of the stair case, opening of doors and entry point of other rooms. Provision of bathroom already done at first floor should be accessed also whether it is sufficient or not.

Thanks
