Hey,
I have a question/request. We are currently finalizing the bathroom design and have received a visualization. However, we’re not completely satisfied and have run out of ideas (but unfortunately, it seems we’re not the only ones...). Below you’ll find a top view and the floor plan for the upper floor, but please focus only on the bathroom, as the rest fits our needs perfectly. The door to the laundry room is now slightly larger, and there is only a wall up to about 1 meter (3 feet 3 inches) between the toilet and the shower; above that, glass is planned to allow natural light into the shower. Do you have any ideas on how to improve the bathroom? A small idea would be to add a row of white tiles in the shower – but that doesn’t solve the entire problem.
Our requirements are:
-- the two doors
-- the window in this position
-- the shower of this size
-- the large washbasin for two people
-- the standard-sized bathtub
-- no T-layout
I’m looking forward to your ideas and am open to suggestions 🙂 Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for your comments – since the three of us hardly ever lock the bathroom doors, that wouldn’t be an issue. We also have a toilet on the ground floor and don’t mind if someone is in the adjacent room, no matter where that door is located. Usually, my wife does the laundry together with our daughter while I’m still in the home office (she works from home). By the way, we know this layout from my family; someone there built like this and would choose the same design again (with the laundry room behind the bathroom). If it’s brought up – when we have guests, we typically don’t do laundry, so running into each other in the bathroom is unlikely ;-)
Yes, it’s a Viebrockhaus, but only related in external dimensions to the Joophaus (aside from the features commonly included in all Viebrockhaus designs). The floor plan on the upper floor is based on that house, but with modifications (no children’s bathroom, a usable walk-in closet, no steps in the hallway, for example). The floor plan itself hasn’t been discussed here yet, as I haven’t posted it so far.
Thanks already for the proposed idea and your time – let’s see what my wife thinks. I find it quite original. I suspect, however, that she (having grown up in a huge house with bathrooms twice this size) might find the bathroom a bit cramped. I’m curious!
