Short Communication: Optimising Bathroom Space, Design and Aesthetics

The bathroom has become a feel-good space within the home. Also its design and planning is more influenced by technical considerations and products. Present research work tries to build an multi-objective optimization model incorporating multiple conflicting / non conflicting objectives such as: Optimizing available space; Improving accessibility and convenience; Enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal and Boost home’s resale value. The problem may be solved using standard mathematical programming technique. In case of infeasible solution, Preemptive goal programming technique could be used if different priorities are to be allotted to the objectives and certain factors. In case of equal importance, Archimedean goal programming approach could be used.
