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!

The idea came from Jochen104, I only rotated the shower valve. Yes, I would definitely place the valve on the end wall (I just didn’t find that quickly on Villeroy & Boch). If you make a 1m (3.3 feet) wide shower, the entrance will be even larger. You might even be able to install a 1.5m (5 feet) shower screen.
Regarding the size of the corner bathtub, I’m sorry I can’t help you. Have you tried asking Uncle Google?

Why do you insist on having an open shower?Simply being able to step into the shower without opening a door or stepping over a high threshold is very comfortable. An even temperature distribution is a positive side effect.

Unfortunately, I can’t help you with the size of the corner bathtub. Have you tried searching online?Since we are building through a developer and main contractor, special requests like this pass through several hands, all of which need to be paid: bathroom showroom → plumbing contractor → developer → main contractor... You can imagine how expensive such a corner bathtub would be. Therefore, we decided yesterday not to choose a corner bathtub after all (even though we’ve always wanted one).
We’re also unsure about relocating the toilet to the left side regarding the connections. So here is a new design.
We’re still uncertain about the shower as well. The price includes a 90 x 90 cm (35 x 35 inch) low-profile shower tray. A tiled shower with a linear drain would actually be a good option for this version, but there are many reports about medium- to long-term waterproofing issues.
It’s not so simple. :/
You will probably get annoyed with the option where the toilet paper constantly gets splashed by the shower. Or that when you are lying in the bathtub, the toilet brush is right next to you or you are directly facing the toilet.
In my opinion, for an open shower you need at least 1.50 meters (5 feet) of space in one direction, preferably 1.60 meters (5 feet 3 inches).
I can’t comment on the additional cost of the bathtub. Maybe you could speak directly with the contractor? I would gladly spend the money on a tiled shower again anytime. We are absolutely satisfied with it. If done by a professional, there should be no issues.
You spend a lot of time in the bathroom. For just 500 euros more, there really shouldn’t be compromises.

The toilet paper holder and toilet brush are unfortunately poorly placed in the drawing – the configurator doesn’t allow for any other option.
It’s really not easy right now, especially since we have to decide on such short notice. Overall, I can’t think of an ideal solution. Unfortunately, we also don’t know if the toilet can be installed on the other side or not.
Of course, it shouldn’t fail because of 500€, but the additional costs from the general contractor are really steep.
