Fitting a bathroom using space from both rooms

 am trying to fit an ensuite for Bedroom 1 utilising space from both rooms. I am trying to work out the best layout where it doesn't look like a box in the room and can integrate with the storage of both rooms to be as efficient as possible.

Any ideas  Thanks in advance.

    Where is the rest of the floorplan?  And where is the drainage? 

    And do you happen to have the dimensions in metric?  That's how the industry works.

    Metric sizes - 3.88 x 3.35 and 3.88 x 4.77.  Note = I've assumed 10'12" to be 11 feet. :-)

    I still think in feet and inches as that's what I learnt at school.  I used metres as a Quantity Surveyor but still revert to Imperial.

    A man walked into a car showroom.
    He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    The man replied, “You have now mate".

    @Belenus Imagine how I, and others felt, when metrication was introduced in the UK.  I was working as a trainee Quantity Surveyor and plans etc used to come in with a mixture of Imperial and Metric sizes.  For example timber sizes remained imperial e.g. 4 inch by 2 inch, but the quantity would be metric e.g. 54 metres.

    Do you know the wall between the two rooms isn't structural and that you are free to remove as much as you like?

    Don't think its doable. With the storage units up against the party wall it blocks any neat arrangement  that isn't a box in the room.

    Remove the cupboard in the top right of Rm 1 & you can put it there so the door in Rm 1 opens into a small alcove.

    I'm guessing there isn't scope to move the door into Rm1 further down?
    Or make Rm 2 a far smaller box room? Take a wall along were the divide between the 2 cupboard is and either have all that the en-suite or all have the left hand part either a built in cupboard for Rm 2 or a cupboard that opens into the corridor.
