I researched this topic; seems the way to do it is to run a pipe all the way to window. I just want to check if there are other options or ideas. Thanks.

This is the 9th floor of a 12 story building. One side of bath is closet then bedroom; another side is kitchen. Other sides are other units.

Most all building codes require an exhaust fan in all bathrooms without windows that open. In high rise buildings there are main duct risers for venting of individual tenant suites or condo unit bathrooms as well as ducted makeup air to compensate for the exhausted air.

Did you verify with the buildings management to determine what’s available?

Is this in the U.S.? I ask because a note on your diagram mention s 220v which isn't generally used in the U.S. I would suggest as the previous poster did that you talk to your building management and/or building engineer who should be conversant with local regs and practices.

The OP's C-D location shows Redwood Shores, CA, and the 220V seems to indicate a clothes dryer outlet.

(Actually an interesting floor plan drawing application)

To. the right of the kitchen sink it appears to be provisions for a clothes washer & dryer. Is the dryer vented to the "outside", or is it required to be a ventless style dryer ? Also what does the red dot over the washer represent ?

1. This is a condo in Asia, Taiwan to be specific. I am assuming a lot of things like availability of 220 v electricity. I need to check with building people.
2. I have not thought of venting for dryer, need to figure that out too.
3. I used Microsoft POWERPOINT to do the drawing.
4. The red dot is a electronic stove I plan to put in lieu of burners, since there will be little cooking there.

I'm sorry that I can't help you with your question, but I do have one of my own, if you don't mind. What do those grey ovals with the black circles represent? At first I thought they were rugs, but then I saw them on the bed. Surely not people??

Yes those are meant to be people. It is drawn to the actual size of an average adult person - 16" from shoulder to shoulder, 9" diameter for the head. These images give reference to how much room there is; whether a path is wide enough, etc.
