ᐅ Alternative Layout Options for Condominium Bathroom Designs

Hello everyone,

For our condominium currently under construction, we are still looking for alternative layout ideas for the bathroom. It should include a toilet, washbasin, and shower, as well as a bathtub if possible. The original proposal from the architect is as follows:


2D bathroom floor plan with shower, toilet, and washbasin next to hallway in the floor plan


We are wondering if you have better ideas for the arrangement, as we find the current version somewhat boring and also think that the fact the shower is directly next to the bathtub is not ideal. A layout where the shower might work without a glass partition, for example with an additional wall, would be nice.

We have shown the room dimensions in the following illustration (partition walls are removed). Dimensions B, C, and D are fixed, while A and E could be extended downward by up to 30cm (12 inches) if the adjoining hallway were narrowed, provided this leads to a significantly better solution. The door could also be moved.


Floor plan of a rectangular room with a cutout on the left inside; door at bottom, dimensions 280×230 cm.

A = 135, B = 55, C = 95, D = 280, E = 230, F = 339

One idea was the following layout (although the showerhead is shown on the wrong wall in the illustration), which we were not very happy with as it felt too cramped.


Top view bathroom: bathtub left, washbasin left, toilet in middle, shower right.


We would be very grateful for any suggestions!!!

A little more detail on the layout would be helpful, by the way, to see if it’s possible to save a few centimeters (inches) somewhere.

There, I even have a urinal next to the bathtub.

Please don’t reduce the door sizes; what you have is what you have (especially if someone needs to use a wheelchair).

Put the bathtub on the E side, the sink goes centered on the D side, and the toilet to the left of the door. A walk-in shower with a glass partition should be placed in the corner on the DB side next to the sink.

That way, when entering, you don’t immediately face the toilet, and the view towards a new rain shower or the bathtub is welcoming.

Thanks for the suggestion! Do you mean something like this?

I would arrange the layout clockwise as follows, starting at the left wall on the plan: shower with a curved sliding door opening - corner shaft - toilet - bathtub - corner - washbasin.

Move the door as far as possible to the right side of the plan, next to the washbasin, and have it open outward.

Not exact to the centimeter, just a sketch. This is how I imagined it in my first post. It looks similar to Nice-Nofret’s suggestion, it sounds about right :-)

Does the developer happen to start with a B? This floor plan looks very familiar to me.
