Hello everyone,
I am currently planning the bathroom for our new build. I’m still unsure about the layout and would like to share it here to get some tips and suggestions on how it could be improved.
Basically, I believe the main issue is that we cannot place the door differently. The window position is also not ideal for the layout, but changing it would affect the exterior appearance, making it asymmetrical. I’m also uncertain about the corner between the shower and the bathtub—I'm not sure if it will bother us, but I haven’t been able to redesign it away.
We don’t have any special requirements for the bathroom. What always bothers me, though, are glass shower enclosures. I don’t like the braces, and even with them, I find the structure often feels shaky and unstable.
Attached is the plan from a 3D software. Please don’t pay attention to the tiles or colors. The measurements can be seen there. The necessary shaft for plumbing and electrical services is planned at 20x60cm (8x24 inches). It is located at the top right of the plan, creating a built-out wall of 24cm (9.5 inches). What do you think about that? We are two adults and two children.
Many thanks.
Best regards, Martin

I can give it another try.
I would make the window smaller, move the toilet to the right side of the plan, shift the bathtub further up in the plan, and then there would be enough space for a nice open shower.
I wouldn’t settle for that small shower with a necessary door just for the sake of some kind of symmetry.

I wouldn’t settle for that small shower with a required door just for the sake of symmetry. We have considered that as well. However, the toilet would then need a separate drain pipe, as the slope would otherwise be insufficient. Since the house is, so to speak, a local landmark due to its location, the exterior appearance is also very important to us.

I can assure you that after just a few months, you will hardly ever look at your house from the outside or admire it in awe. That fades away faster than you think. But you use your bathroom every day and will get annoyed.

I can assure you that after just a few months, you’ll rarely look at your house from the outside or admire it with awe. That feeling fades faster than you think. But you use your bathroom every day and get annoyed if it’s not right. Okay. Thanks for the advice. But of course, one shouldn’t read too much into it. For example, I rarely stand in awe of either houses or toilets (and the toilet on the other side doesn’t manage that either).
But I do understand the point.

Definitely not. But you might get annoyed if you have to clean the shower door every day, even though it would work just fine without one.
