Hello,
maybe someone has a good suggestion for our bathroom.
Problem: we definitely want a large bathtub (190x90cm (75x35 inches)) because otherwise my husband won’t fit in it at all. We also planned a shower with 140x100cm (55x40 inches) for stepping into. These two things are important to us. It’s already getting quite tight, and the toilet plus sink also need to fit. The sink should be a standard size (around 60-65cm (24-26 inches)), and the toilet of course as well.
The draftsman has drawn an oversized sink with a shelf behind it. This makes the space at the toilet very narrow, and it’s barely possible to turn around when sitting on it. I was thinking about placing the shelf along the long side of the bathtub, but then the space for the sink becomes even tighter.
Having no shelf at all is also not ideal. We have already considered installing recesses in the wall (drywall).
Does anyone have any other ideas? Or should we completely redesign? 😕

Why isn’t the MVHR unit planned for the utility room? We have the same one on the upper floor, also arranged the same way (haha), and ours is placed behind the door. The MVHR unit is installed within the wall; the draftsman wasn’t very attentive during planning. Placing it in the utility room would have meant longer duct runs. Since it is installed inside the wall and also behind the door, we don’t really mind.

Is it possible to shift the window by a few centimeters (inches)? Well, that would be difficult, but it could be done.

We recently built a bathroom similar to the one in the attached picture. Hmm, but isn’t it almost impossible to get between the sink and the bathtub there?

By the way, in my opinion, you can’t do without the “console” you described, since the plumbing is installed as a wall-mounted system. That means you’ll find these shelf areas in front of the bathtub as well as the sink and toilet. Well, with drywall, we can also hide everything inside the wall. Then the console wouldn’t be necessary, right?

Hmm, there barely seems to be enough space between the sink and the bathtub, right?

Well, since it’s a drywall partition, we can integrate everything into the wall. Then the bracket wouldn’t be necessary, right?

I’ve attached a few pictures from the last construction site; maybe that will help you understand better.
