ᐅ Bathroom Layout Ground Floor + Upper Floor

@katja: Yes, we initially wanted to leave the bathtub downstairs out and then install it in 10 years when we really use the lower floor. If we were to tile the area now, we would need a full floor build-up (screed, etc.), which means the bathtub would end up sitting quite a bit higher later than if we install it now. Yes, you’re probably right that we would redo it anyway in 10 years... But the bathroom also serves as the guest toilet / restroom for the ground floor.

Regarding the shower: Yes, I also think we definitely need a glass door here (probably one with two swing doors so they don’t open too far and hit the toilet).
As for the side glass panel, you’re actually right. But we decided on a masonry wall here because of cost (only about 2.15 m (7 ft) tall—room height is 2.88 m (9 ft 5 in) minus 0.17 m (7 in) floor build-up, so roughly 2.71 m (8 ft 11 in) high).

Bathroom upstairs: Thanks :-) Yeah, just one big one still looked a bit bulky... We first wanted to close it off completely as a built-in closet, but that made the room feel too small for us.
And we still need some kind of cabinet in the bathroom to store everything...

This is about the floor plans of the levels, not the posted bathroom layouts.

@ypg: Oh, I see, please refer to the attachment. North is always at the top.

Wow, that is a floor plan with a lot of projections and recesses. I know the term "cooling fin architecture" for this. Or has it become fashionable to build like this nowadays?

Also interesting: On the ground floor, there is an 11 sqm (118 sq ft) storage room; plus a 17 sqm (183 sq ft) storage area upstairs. Are you perhaps preppers? ;-)

@Aventin: I think the modern style these days is mostly box-shaped with a hip roof (at least two-thirds of the houses in our development look like that)... The many corners just kind of happened... The masons were already complaining at the very beginning (the shell is practically finished...) :-)

I don’t really know what preppers are, but we built without a basement, so everything has to be stored elsewhere... The storage room is for Christmas lights, winter clothes, etc... In the pantry, we have a chest freezer, beverage crates, and lots of other odds and ends that we often need on the ground floor and don’t want to carry up to the upper floor (storage).

For the shower on the ground floor, I would probably have included the corner in the hallway as well.
