Hello
I would like to get your opinion on my bathroom layout. (Household of 4 people)
Upper floor: Family bathroom with toilet, large washbasin, bathtub, washing machine, large shower (1.5 x 1.3 m (4 ft 11 in x 4 ft 3 in))
Rough dimensions: 4.4 x 2.5 m (14 ft 5 in x 8 ft 2 in)
Ground floor: Guest and backup bathroom, toilet, washbasin, large shower,
Rough dimensions: 2.4 x 2.5 m (7 ft 10 in x 8 ft 2 in)
The bathrooms do not need to be fully accessible but should be comfortable to use and not too cramped.

Neither of the floor plans really appeals to me.
The guest bathroom might be too tight around the toilet. The space allocated for it is only 1 meter (3.3 feet). My gut feeling is that this is far too narrow. The shower seems disproportionately large for the size of the bathroom, but that might just be due to the drawing. What type of shower is planned? I would only consider a walk-in shower comfortable. Perhaps it would help to rotate the toilet 90 degrees and place it along the other wall.
In the main bathroom, I’m not a fan of having the washing machine located immediately behind the door. This could be a safety issue if someone is loading or unloading laundry and the door suddenly opens.
Do you have detailed drawings with all fixtures accurately dimensioned?

I see it similarly.
Front-loading washers are usually left open to dry. In this case, the doors would then collide.
Even in the picture, the entrance door touches the shower. With tiles and plaster, the structural dimensions are further reduced, so it no longer fits.
Where is the space for a towel radiator?
The sink in the guest bathroom is too close to the wall. Moving it further into the room makes the passage too narrow.
In general, I also find the showers too large for the rooms.

Hello,
I also believe that many things in your bathrooms won't fit. You need to consider not only the size of the fixtures but also how much clearance is required in front of them. In addition, you shouldn't rely on your raw construction measurements; it's better to subtract 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) from each wall side.
You could try modeling it with, for example, the Villeroy & Boch bathroom planner. That way, you'll see in 3D how little space you actually have.

I don’t understand the placement of a shower in front of a window.
If I plan a shower measuring 1.30 meters (4 feet 3 inches), then I also need a wall about 1.40 meters (4 feet 7 inches) long.
When I read about rough construction dimensions, I assume this is a new build?
Has any construction work started yet, or is the planning phase still ongoing?
It looks like two finished rooms are simply being furnished.
Essentially, the furnishing of bathrooms and kitchens should be considered during the initial floor plan design. This naturally includes planning walls and, if necessary, making changes to the overall layout or sketch, so that rooms, window, and door positions can be optimized as a whole.
Best regards,
Yvonne

Thanks for the responses!
I tried to implement your suggestions and completely rearranged the bathroom. For example, I created a "clearance space" in front of the sink and toilet.
I also measured: The washing machine is 0.68 meters (27 inches) wide and 1.1 meters (43 inches) deep with the door closed/open. Is one meter (39 inches) enough space between the (closed) washing machine and the bathtub?
Unfortunately, I haven’t found a place for the towel radiator yet (thanks for the tip, I had actually forgotten about it).
