ᐅ Opening direction of the bathroom door in the attic

Hello,

Is there any particular reason why it wouldn’t be advisable to plan the bathroom door in the 1.5-story house, that is, in the attic, to open outward into the hallway?

Currently, as shown in the drawing. But the idea now is to install a glass wall on the shower base behind the open door. That would require placing a door stopper in front of the shower base. Alternatively, as mentioned above, the door could open outward but in the opposite direction—meaning the handle on the right when standing outside, instead of on the left as it is now.

Thanks for your feedback.

Of course, there were responses, but half of them advised against going outside, while the other half supported it
This tells you: it’s a matter of personal preference, so please decide for yourself what suits you best.

This way, you can also choose a larger door opening.

The door will have a width of 88cm (35 inches) anyway, not just 76cm (30 inches) as shown there.

But I don’t understand your arrow or what you are trying to indicate with it.. hmm

I would have the door open outward to the right, as there seems to be a dead corner in the hallway. That way, no one would walk straight into it.

So if it opens outward, then towards the heating valve. Because that’s where the roof slope is located. By the way, in the apartment, the door also opens outward due to space constraints.

It is supposed to indicate a sliding door that moves in the direction of the arrow.
