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?

Hi,
I have never designed a bathroom in my entire life. And I am not an interior design expert anyway.
I can design your network! But a bathroom is not my field. 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...)

Well, then you should have asked a professional right away.
I don’t mean this ironically. You will now have to deal with and accept your oversight.
You can definitely be happy with smaller bathrooms, but it depends on the fundamental conditions. These include: space behind the door and sufficient width to the left and right of the window. Your door means you have to juggle everything, like playing Tetris, but it won’t look properly furnished.
Your drawing is inaccurate. But precision is crucial in planning if it is to work.
So.....

Well, you should have asked a professional right from the start.
I don’t mean that ironically. Now you’ll just have to deal with the consequences of your carelessness... ... I’m realizing that now too ... Fortunately, nothing is finalized yet. So I need to go back to the full floor plan and bring in a professional ... We are also going to talk with the architect who usually works with the builder.

But please provide the full plan, including the outdoor areas that concern you. Weren’t you planning a ground floor? I don’t see a terrace at all, but instead an external staircase?Similar topics
