Modular Lavatory with Alcove

A modular lavatory monument assembly configured to be positioned in the interior of an aircraft, the modular lavatory monument assembly comprising:

• first, second, third and fourth walls that cooperate to form an outer shell that defines a lavatory interior, a storage compartment that is defined by a first storage compartment wall extending inwardly from the fourth wall and a second storage compartment wall extending inwardly from the first wall, wherein the first and second storage compartment walls are connected, wherein an alcove is defined by the first storage compartment wall, the fourth wall and the second wall, and wherein the first storage compartment wall separates the alcove and the storage compartment,
• a sink module positioned in the alcove,
• a mirror module positioned above the sink module in the alcove, and
• a door positioned on one of the second or third walls.

A modular dual lavatory monument assembly configured to be positioned in the interior of an aircraft, the modular lavatory monument assembly comprising:

• first, second, third and fourth walls that cooperate to form an outer shell that defines an interior, and a fifth wall that divides the interior into first and second lavatories, wherein the outer shell includes first and second alcoves that extend between the first and second walls to form an alcove strip,
• a first sink module positioned in the first alcove,
• a first mirror module positioned above the first sink module in the first alcove,
• a first door positioned on one of the first or third walls,
• a second sink module positioned in the second alcove,
• a second mirror module positioned above the second sink module in the second alcove, and
• a second door positioned on one of the second or fourth walls.

A modular quad lavatory monument assembly configured to be positioned in the interior of an aircraft, the modular lavatory monument assembly comprising:

• first, second, third and fourth walls that cooperate to form an outer shell that defines an interior, and fifth, sixth and seventh walls that cooperate to divide the interior into first, second, third and fourth lavatories, wherein the outer shell includes first, second, third and fourth alcoves that extend between the first and second walls to form an alcove strip
• a first sink module positioned in the first alcove,
• a first mirror module positioned above the first sink module in the first alcove,
• a second sink module positioned in the second alcove,
• a second mirror module positioned above the second sink module in the second alcove,
• a third sink module positioned in the third alcove,
• a third mirror module positioned above the third sink module in the third alcove,
• a fourth sink module positioned in the fourth alcove, and
• a fourth mirror module positioned above the fourth sink module in the fourth alcove.

A method comprising the steps of:

• providing a first outer shell, including first, second, third and fourth walls that cooperate to define a first lavatory interior, wherein the fourth wall includes an alcove extending outwardly therefrom, and wherein a door is positioned on one of the second or third walls,
• providing a second outer shell, including first, second, third and fourth walls that cooperate to define a second lavatory interior, wherein the fourth wall includes an alcove extending outwardly therefrom, wherein a door is positioned on one of the second or third walls, wherein the second lavatory interior has a different volume than the first lavatory interior,
• removably securing a first sink module in the alcove of the first outer shell,
• removably securing a first mirror module above the first sink module in the alcove of the first outer shell to form a first lavatory monument assembly,
• removably securing a second sink module in the alcove of the second outer shell,
• removably securing a second mirror module above the second sink module in the alcove of the second outer shell to form a second lavatory monument assembly, wherein the first and second sink modules are identical, and wherein the first and second mirror modules are identical,
• installing the first lavatory monument assembly in a first location in an aircraft, and
• installing the second lavatory monument assembly in a second location in an aircraft.
