ᐅ Main bathroom (10 sqm) with an open shower, any ideas?

Hi!

We would really appreciate some quick ideas, as we can only present a new proposal later this week.

Unfortunately, we only noticed quite late that the developer planned a relatively short glass partition for the open shower (about 85cm (33 inches)). Now we’re a bit worried about frequent water splashes throughout half of the bathroom.

The bathroom is only 10 m² (108 sq ft) in size, measuring 2.85 x 3.55 m (9.4 x 11.6 ft). As shown in the sketch, we have two windows, which don’t exactly make the planning easier. The bathtub will be 180 x 80 cm (71 x 31 inches) and the vanity with double sinks will be 120–140 cm (47–55 inches) wide.

I already looked it up and found references to these so-called “T-walls.” However, I can’t find any practical ideas on how they could be planned in this case.

Do you have any suggestions, or is the concern about the shower partition unnecessary?

Best regards & thanks for your help!

By the way, the shower screen is now 1.40 m long (55 inches).
There will probably still be some splashing, but it shouldn’t go beyond the bathtub.
Here is the dimensioned drawing and a few 3D views:

Edit: Oops, I just noticed that the pre-wall isn’t high enough for the flush plate. But that probably won’t be an issue during installation.

Good morning,

thank you very much for the suggestions! I already like all of them much better than those from the developer.

Here is a summary:
Option 1:

Bathroom floor plan: sink left, toilet lower left, bathtub right, shower upper right.

180 x 80 cm (71 x 31.5 inches) bathtub directly under the shower. However, the shower screen can only be a maximum of 1 m (3.3 ft).

Option 2:

Bathroom floor plan with bathtub, shower, sink and toilet, dimensions 282 x 350 cm.

With corner bathtub including the same shower as in option 1.

Option 3:

Floor plan of a bathroom: bathtub right, toilet lower left, sink left, shower top.

With corner bathtub, shower now with a 1.4 m (4.6 ft) screen – open towards the bathtub.

A question regarding the bathtub: What size should a corner bathtub be to provide a similar space as a 180 x 80 cm (71 x 31.5 inches) bathtub?

Good luck & thanks!

I wouldn’t add any walls to the already quite compact bathroom, I think... or if necessary, make them as minimalist as possible.

Yes, "BeHaElJa," you are probably right. The more I think about it, the better I believe option 3 is. The idea originally came from Jochen104; I only rotated the shower fitting.
The only question is whether the space offered by the corner bathtub is comparable to a 180x80 cm (71x31.5 inches) bathtub?

Why do you specifically want an open shower?

I am definitely a shower fan and also have a talent for flooding everything. Since we only have 10.8 sqm (116 sq ft) of space, the shower can’t be as open as I would like. Honestly, I would definitely end up flooding your bathroom.

Is that really such a small size for a bathroom? In our floor plan, the open shower measures 1.60 x 1.00 meters (5.25 x 3.3 feet), and the corner bathtub is 1.60 by 1.60 meters (5.25 by 5.25 feet). There’s also a toilet and a single washbasin. However, these are just placeholders for now; the actual bathroom design with the sanitary engineer is still to be done.
