ᐅ Bathroom is no longer functioning properly

Hello everyone,

Last summer, I discovered a developer who is working on a great project. After many hours, questions, plans, etc., the purchase contract for a condominium was finally signed in November, and since then I have been busy planning—starting with the bathroom, then the kitchen. Last week, however, I realized that I had incorrect plans. Fortunately, I am currently enough under the weather that I haven’t fully processed it yet, but yes, my previous planning was in vain.

Some windows were moved or removed. I hope to manage somehow with this in the kitchen, but the bathroom presents real problems for me. Since I’m feeling quite off right now, I am even considering canceling the purchase agreement. I can’t think of any way to fit everything I want into the bathroom with the new window position. Not to mention the issue of connections. Is there any good place to turn to for this problem? I already consulted a bathroom planner, but it turned out that this plan would not have been feasible because some walls and windows were not correctly positioned. So my trust in that is quite limited now.

I am grateful for any ideas. The developer sent me the correct plan with a proposal, but unfortunately, I don’t like it. I am not happy with the location of the toilet and bidet, the bathtub will not be freestanding—which I simply can’t afford—and the shower must definitely be walk-in and 90cm (35 inches) wide with a bench solution. I am attaching a picture of the plan and am curious to see what suggestions come up. Maybe someone has a very similar layout—intentionally!—and has found a great solution.

Thank you

No, do not skip the toilet. It is especially needed in the bathroom as you get older, since the body may no longer be fully controllable.
The bathroom is also not too small.

Is this a prefabricated house? If so, aren't the wiring installations already included?

What else can still be changed?

What is the height of the parapet wall?

No, a timber frame construction does not automatically mean it comes ready for installation with wiring in place.
Here, the wiring is visible even before the wooden studs are installed, and the drawing states “symbolically installed.”

I can’t present plans of the entire apartment right now, since I don’t have proper ones.

There are some people here who can definitely read suboptimal plans much better than no plans at all. How is your apartment integrated into the building? Please show the floors above and below!
I’m surprised by how much help you’re receiving here despite the participants’ limited understanding of the situation. I’m certainly not the only one who prefers to discuss based on facts, rather than developing a completely wrong mental picture. One of your drawings suggests a penthouse or a conversion of an attic in an older building, while the other seems simply to be a tracing (from which we cannot tell which details have been left out).

Once the house is set up – this should actually be done this week
Is the house going to be installed this week? So it is a prefabricated house after all?
(I notice that you don’t correct assumptions here and also don’t answer questions)

Come on, don’t exaggerate. You must have something if the installation is scheduled for this week.

I don’t believe that. That’s only a few weeks ago... If someone has been planning for half a year and already ordered their kitchen, they can really get upset.

Thanks for the drafts, I wouldn’t have come up with any of those options on my own.
But with that info and your sketch (dark washbasin cabinet, bathtub with large platform, toilet in the spotlight area, and shower aligned through the door’s sightline), I question your planning skills.
I think you should consider yourself lucky that the windows were changed so you can’t implement your plan.

I have visualized the draft from BT. If there is interest, I can also make changes.

The bathtub is 1 meter wide at the head end (3.3 feet).
