ᐅ Bathroom Planning for a Single-Person Household in a New Build

Hello,
I am currently finalizing some details of the floor plan. A few key points are already set due to external constraints.
The bathroom size and layout are still flexible, but even after the seventh redesign, I haven’t found a plan that really excites me :-/
This bathroom belongs to the one residential unit that I will occupy alone. In all other units, there will be no bathtub and the bathroom will be smaller. I definitely want a bathtub here (although it will be used rarely). I also want a large shower. My current 85cm x 85cm (33 inches x 33 inches) shower is definitely too small. Grab bars next to the toilet, in the shower, and near/on the bathtub should also be included in the design.
The window faces exactly north. Its size and position are still completely flexible. However, a low utility room will be built 1.5m (5 feet) behind it (the building will be a kind of garage with a shed or gable roof...). So the view will be blocked... the window is only for daylight entry. The door position is fixed.
Regarding dimensions: Each square on the grid is 50cm (20 inches). The bathroom is currently planned to be 248cm (98 inches) wide, but I can still adjust that. The depth of 3m (10 feet) is fixed. The bathroom is not meant to be smaller. I want a comfortable bathroom with some “room to move.” That’s why I’m worried that the passage behind the door between the shower and the sink will be too narrow in practice, both in appearance and use?

Osnabruecker1 Mar 2020 16:39I’m not very experienced in this area, but the following points should be considered:
Place the washing machine directly on the tiles (inside the cabinet), otherwise the whole thing will wobble.
Plan the cabinet as semi-open, due to humidity and heat from the condenser dryer, despite its height.

I have never designed a bathroom before in my life. And I’m not really an interior design expert anyway.
I can design your network! But a bathroom is not my area of expertise. I’m always open to good suggestions!
The door cannot be moved because the utility room is adjacent (on the other side of the shower...).
