ᐅ Installing a laundry chute in the shower?

Hello everyone,
we are about to complete the bathroom on the top floor of our new build. The pipes have already been installed going upwards. We have a laundry chute in that room. We would also like to install a shower, which would need to be positioned in a way that the laundry chute is integrated into it. Do you have any ideas on how to make the chute waterproof? Is this even possible?

Who still goes down to the basement to do laundry these days??? This is a new build! There are much more convenient options

It is most convenient to have the washing machine on the same level where the laundry is generated.

Then you carry at least some of the washed laundry downstairs to hang it outside. You only really save that effort if you have a bungalow.

Hello everyone, here are a few photos of the room. I roughly marked the current layout. I hope the images help you understand the situation. Ideally, the shower would be where the toilet is currently planned, but then the pipe shaft would be inside the shower area. The boxed-in section would need to be opened and reclad because the water pipe was routed there.

Who still hangs laundry outside?

Here is the shaft from the inside
