This is usually floor plan specific and not something you can add or modify.
You can, however, on most plans upgrade the number of sinks or add a walk-in only shower in lieu of a tub.
Typically design #1 is the standard option for most plans. There are more options than are shown here, too, so if you have a specific need, please ask the onsite agent or online chat for what plans offer what you want at the community(s) you prefer.
