ᐅ Tiling in a Level-Access Shower

Up to
a) the back wall, or
b) the start of the channel (drain) on the right wall?

If b) (which I assume), you can also tile through as planned, but of course you need a joint exactly where the slope levels out again.

How are you going to handle the wedge-shaped piece on which the glass wall will then be installed?

So does that still mean with mosaic tiles?
The wall will stand on the part where the tiles are already laid on the left, but I don’t quite understand what you mean.

Where you have already installed the tiles on the left, the floor is level. Next to it, there is a slope parallel to the edge where the glass panel is installed. So, at the back (the lowest point of the slope) you have a raised section. This raised section is not present at the shower entrance (the highest point of the slope).
What is planned for this “wedge”? It is independent of any mosaic tiles.

I think the mistake was also that I extended the slope to the wall on the left side.
Should I have kept it level all the way to the back?

No. It’s possible, but not necessary.

In this case, you have two slope directions that don’t meet evenly anywhere. That’s doable—ideally with a mosaic. I fully agree with @nordanney on this.

No. Can, not must.

In this case, you have two slope directions that don’t meet in a straight line anywhere. You can do that—best with a mosaic. I fully agree with @nordanney.

Okay, at least I don’t necessarily have to remove the screed again if it can still be fixed with mosaic tiles.
That wasn’t the plan, but it’s better than starting over, especially since the waterproofing would also need to be redone.
To summarize again: I can leave the screed as it is, and with the mosaic tiles, I can arrange the tiles as I need because they are individually adhered on a mesh, allowing me to direct them toward the drain.
I wonder how it will look since we have 60cm x 60cm (24 inches x 24 inches) tiles on the floor, and in the shower area, we want to lay herringbone with 30cm x 7.5cm (12 inches x 3 inches) tiles.
I haven’t seen anything like this so far.

Huh... herringbone in the shower area?
From my construction phase, it looks like this… however, I have a central square drain about 10x10 or 11x11 cm (4x4 or 4.3x4.3 inches) and 30x60 cm (12x24 inches) tiles all around:

and a very poor photo shortly after completion with shower door etc.
