we have two proposals for our bathroom on the upper floor. The first one is from the architect, which is quite standard, and the second proposal I received from the plumber. I prefer the second one, but I wonder how it feels to have the shower immediately to the left when entering the bathroom. ....looking forward to helpful suggestions......

Hello,
that is quite a large bathroom, but unfortunately, I don’t have a brilliant idea either. However, here are a few tips to optimize the second layout:
By mirroring the entire layout, you would solve the entrance issue related to the shower, but then you would only face walls when using the bathtub 🙁

- Change the door swing
- Install the showerhead on the front wall of the shower with ceiling mounting at the 2.30m (7 ft 7 in) height line
- Use the empty space behind the shower as a recessed shelf inside the shower

I’m not a big fan of those bathtubs placed diagonally in the corner... They take up a lot of space, and I always say that anyone who designs them probably has never cleaned a bathroom: have you ever thought about how impractical it is to clean that dead corner behind the tub?
I’m not quite sure how low your knee wall is. In the second draft, that empty, unused strip on the knee wall bothered me. Unless it’s only about 1.2m (4 feet) high, I’m personally a fan of placing the toilet there, since even the most stubborn guy who prefers to pee standing would be forced to sit down *harharhar*. Otherwise, you could also put the bathtub there because you don’t need much headroom in that spot. At least I don’t stand in the tub—I lie down 😉
Maybe you can plan for a slightly larger skylight? Then place the bathtub with the foot end towards the knee wall (if it’s rather low). Possibly, you can even put the tub right against the knee wall. Having a large roof window above that would look really nice. The architect also placed the toilet more towards the wall, so the height should work, right?
The opening to the outside is also a door, isn’t it? And the door swing should definitely be reversed. The way it is now makes no sense.
