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!!!

If the shower is 80cm (31.5 inches) wide according to the plan, then it is at most 65cm (25.6 inches) deep... I would rather call that a storage hole 😉

Even if it’s 1.80 meters (5 feet 11 inches), take the tub out and have a larger shower instead.

I’m currently renting. In my place, I even have a urinal next to the bathtub. Both just gather dust and take up unnecessary space.

=> I would skip the bathtub and give the room more breathing space 🙂

I would do it like this: And take 30 cm (12 inches) from the hallway.

Bathroom floor plan: Bathtub at the top, toilet on the left, sink at the bottom right, door at the bottom.

Are there no regulations about where the drains must be? There might be a bathroom above or below. Without these constraints, I would place the shower in the lower left corner behind the door and then position the toilet next to the bathtub.

The shaft can be seen in the top left corner.
