Hello everyone,

we are currently working on the floor plan and wondering if our 9 sqm (97 sq ft) will be sufficient for the end-terrace house. Our general contractor made a proposal (red walls), and I just created another version using an app (green walls).

In any case, we want a barrier-free shower without a door. The question now is which layout feels a bit more “open” and doesn’t make the room feel cramped.

Or should we widen the shower from 1.00 m (3 ft 3 in) to 1.20 m (4 ft), and include a bathtub that is only 1.60 m (5 ft 3 in) long? I planned the shower wall at 1.40 m (4 ft 7 in) to prevent too much water splashing outside.

What do you think?

The lower image is better. Much better. Less cramped.

I also prefer the green option... except that the toilet is immediately noticeable when you enter. But that doesn’t have to be a problem.

Alright, it looks like it's 3-0 in favor of the green option for me.

A trend is already becoming apparent.

However, I am wondering whether widening the shower and thus reducing the size of the bathtub has advantages or disadvantages?
My wife is about 1.60m (5 ft 3 in), while I am about 1.85m (6 ft 1 in).

Also, our general contractor planned the shower partition wall at only 10cm (4 inches) thick—so probably made from drywall.
Isn’t it more common to build this wall with calcium silicate blocks?

A 1m (3 ft 3 in) wide shower is completely sufficient. We also have a meter and can even shower comfortably together.
I’m a bit unsure about the depth. We have 1.40m (4 ft 7 in), which is rather tight. But we don’t splash around wildly. It works. Yours looks even tighter. What size do you have?

I would consider placing the toilet next to the sink to have a nice open space in the middle where you can step to the window (which I would position centrally), and next to the bathtub a cabinet for the wine glass... or what does the “1” stand for?

While we’re at it, how does the rest of the house look so far?
