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!

The laundry room mainly consists of circulation space to access the washing machine. If you place the two machines side by side in front of the door and move the shower, which is currently recessed, to where the machines were, then the shower can go behind the machines. The shower would be rotated 90° to the left, but that’s not a problem.
The machines would then be housed in a kind of cabinet, and the circulation space to the machines would be the hallway.

How about this alternative? If the shower is 100 x 100 cm (39 x 39 inches), there would also be more space for the laundry room.
