ᐅ Bathroom Layout Ideas – Family Bathroom in 8 Square Meters

Hello dear forum,
I am currently planning the complete renovation of an old house together with an architect. If you’re interested, please take a look at my bathroom layouts. I feel they are not quite finished yet.
Picture 1 is intended to be the family bathroom. The options were a large bathroom (almost 15 m² (160 sq ft)) or a smaller one (9 m² (97 sq ft)) with space left for a utility room for the washing machine and dryer. We decided on the latter.
The bathroom will be used in the first years by four people: two adults and two children. Only when the children are older will we move upstairs (bathroom shown in Picture 3. You’re welcome to review that one as well. It is quite large for two people.)
My questions:
Is nearly 9 m² (97 sq ft) too small for a family bathroom?
We would like to have two sinks, a shower, and a bathtub. What do you think about this layout? There is a slight slope on the bottom edge, so the shower was not planned there.
It feels a bit tight when moving past the toilet on the way to the bathtub.
Do you have suggestions on how this could be improved?
Upper floor bathroom
Thank you!

But he did move the shower to the right side of the laundry room according to the plan. However, the original poster actually likes the first proposal. So much so that the thread could be closed. I only responded to that (to the original poster).

I will continue planning with the architect now, and if anything is still unclear, I will gladly ask for your help again. The thread can be closed. Thanks!

But it’s really tight in front of the washing machine. If I place a laundry basket there, I only have about 40-50 cm (16-20 inches) left to stand and bend while loading the washing machine. It gets a bit tricky then.
