Hello dear forum community,
I have been thinking for some time about how to best plan the future bathroom in our apartment. Currently, I am quite attached to the developer’s proposal. It includes a bathtub (180x80cm (71x31.5 inches)) and a shower (floor tiled) aligned in a row, with a towel rail, a 120cm (47 inch) washbasin with a vanity unit, a mirror cabinet, and a tall cabinet next to it on the opposite side.
Concept:
More detailed with dimensions
Disadvantage:
The plumber can only supply straight glass panels, which would be installed on the bathtub, so the shower depth is limited to the bathtub’s length (180x80cm (71x31.5 inches)). With a tiled ledge, the shower could be slightly extended, but the width is limited to less than 90cm (271.5cm minus 180cm minus plaster and tiles) anyway.
The plan shows a 90x90cm (35x35 inch) shower, but only the floor is tiled and its size could be individually adapted. Without a tiled ledge, it would only be 90x80cm (35x31.5 inches).
With a tiled ledge, possibly about 90x85cm (35x33 inches).
Alternatively, the bathtub could be omitted, which would of course allow for a very spacious walk-in shower, but my wife might not be happy with that.
After discussing with colleagues yesterday, I came across the following option:
Bathtub placed in front of the window (parapet height is 150cm (59 inches), the window itself is 120cm (47 inches) wide and 80cm (31.5 inches) high)
Advantage: The shower could be significantly larger (currently 100x100cm (39x39 inches) in the plan), which feels a bit too big, and the entrance area is quite crowded.
Disadvantage: Bathtub in front of the window and an unused corner at the top right. However, based on measurements and estimates, I believe it is possible to open the window (unfortunately hinged on the right) over the bathtub.
It might also be possible to insert a half-height drywall partition with glass panels on top to partially separate the shower area, but I feel this would reduce the sense of space even further.
Do you have any comments or suggestions for improvement?
Which option would you prefer?
I would really appreciate your feedback.
For reference, I have attached the shell construction dimensions once again.

A 180cm (71 inch) shower is really a dream, everything depends on the shower tray. I’ll discuss this again with my wife today. Without the tray, it would also be around a 180cm (71 inch) shower with a width of 95cm (37 inch), if only we knew whether what we imagine will actually happen. Be sure you’ll have doubts later anyway—
that’s why I’ve always chosen less if possible, but better quality.
I don’t remember the exact dimensions now, but if you can get 120–140cm (47–55 inch) plus the tray, that would be enough for me and I’d find it elegant (also satisfying both parties). I had a 90x90cm (35x35 inch) or larger glass shower for 30 years, which was certainly no bad choice.
Please show your current favorite layout again.
Basically, we have the same floor plan.
Here is my bathroom. Just imagine the toilet removed. Your bathroom is about 2sqm (22 sq ft) smaller.
On the right, there is a shower tray measuring 90x120cm (35x47 inches), next to it the washbasin on the left (toilet), and the bathtub with nice shelving.

we will most likely proceed in this direction:

will it have a full glass enclosure?
Door on the narrow side?

Door on the narrow side? Yes, a glass partition. Door on the long side, left. Schulte Alexa Style 2.0 (Black).
@fritzi001 I still think the opening facing the washbasin is better—mainly because of the natural light in the shower. However, with the wide washbasin, it’s probably going to be too tight now. If possible, definitely choose a pivot door that can also fold inward for dripping water or cleaning. Since the entrance door opens outward, you can naturally help prevent puddles with a doormat. Well, you’ve probably already planned for that anyway.
