Hello,
I have been reconsidering the layout of the individual elements in the bathroom for our new build several times, and this is what I came up with. Do you have any suggestions for improvement?
(The room is 4×3.5m (13×11.5 ft). This wall in front of the wall where the toilet and sink are located is meant to be a kind of half wall that creates a ledge, which can also be used as a shelf... I wasn’t exactly sure how deep something like this usually is, so I drew it somewhat wider on purpose to ensure there is more rather than less space afterward. This ledge does not necessarily have to extend all the way to the door if that would cause issues.)
In case you wonder about a second sink... we do not want or need one and would prefer to use that space for shelves/cabinets or similar instead.
Thanks in advance!

Oh, I made a typo: the room is 4×2.5m (4×8 feet).

Did I miss something? Three days ago, the discussion was still about placing a house on the new plot. And now it’s already about the bathroom? Is there already a house for it?

The bathroom in our current apartment is laid out like this.
The arrangement is almost the same as yours, except that the shower is where the free space at the bottom is. The toilet is where your shower is, and where the toilet is now, we have the washing machine and dryer. If you like this layout, the possible utility room could be smaller, and you would have more space downstairs for something else.

Otherwise, you have about one-third of the bathroom area unused, which would really be a shame. Wasting that much floor space for just storage is not very efficient :p

...and if you’re already thinking about the stud wall on the right, then also consider the stud wall on the left, because the bathtub also needs a installation cavity.

You have a 10m² (108 sq ft) bathroom, which is actually okay. However, almost 2m² (22 sq ft) on the lower side is lost due to the window and space requirements. You have a shower just over 75cm (30 inches) wide. That would be too small for me. This is the main bathroom, right? And the passage width to the bathroom is also 75cm (30 inches)?
To be honest, I don't like the layout.
Personally, I’m not a fan of having a window above the bathtub. But that really comes down to personal preference.
If I were to start over, would the windows be fixed?

I think you are confusing me? Some time ago, I asked about the height planning concerning the house and carport, but not really about the house position.
