Much better would be a small combination lift / shower room. This would
save the extra cost of a downstairs cloakroom. Wake up, get into lift,
close door. Have morning ****, lift going down open door, walk into
kitchen, put on coffee, walk back into lift, close door, have shower,
lift going up open door, walk into bedroom, get dressed, walk back
into lift, close door, shave lift going down open door, walk into
kitchen, grab coffee, leave for work.

Not just a fantastic time and space saver but great for the evironment
too as the lift counterbalance can be recycled grey water. Use the space
at the bottom of the lift shaft in the basement for a high flow combi
boiler.

A win, win, win situation.

Sheer brilliance.
