Hello,
Since I am about to start building my house and am already thinking about the bathroom but have no clear idea yet, I’m opening this thread.
Please feel free to share how you have built your bathrooms and what they look like. Maybe I can pick up some ideas!

We picked out the bathroom countertop ourselves at the wholesale store; it was supposed to match the tiles reasonably well.
That was a great day!
All the window sills were cut from the countertop, as well as a slope strip for the shower (that was the tile installer’s idea).
The shower caused the most trouble. First, it was said it couldn’t be done because the drain was too far away, then only with a threshold (we didn’t want to have any dust-catching edge visible anywhere). And the wall was said to be too thin. Well, we ended up doing the wall chipping work ourselves with our own plumber and drilled the wastewater pipe directly into the underground garage with a fire protection collar...
...helps with internet access while watching music videos in the bathtub:
By the way, the two-level ceiling with indirect lighting is because of the drain pipe hanging too low from the apartment above. The developer wanted to build us a little box for it, but we turned that necessity into a design feature. Lucky us...
I also installed power outlets inside the vanity cabinets, and the bathroom cabinet is fantastic! Everything is connected and within easy reach.
By the way, the floor is very easy to maintain, and you don’t see any hairs on it. Contrary to the trend, we tiled it at butcher shop height.
Not so in the guest WC. I still have to take pictures of that.
I hope this isn’t too long, and I could provide some helpful input. By the way, my signature includes the tile installer’s visualization, to whom I am especially grateful!

We also spent a long time choosing the shower, but in the end, I thought the head was too small for the price, and it didn’t convince me in person either. We switched to a 40cm (16 inch) diameter showerhead with a cascade from Hansgrohe.
But it has the same control concept with the Select buttons.
We had the same faucet for the washbasins too—but changed our minds again because it was too large for us.
We also have that same push-button flush set on the toilet.
The old mainstream taste.
We only tiled up to the ceiling in the showers—wall-to-wall ceiling tiles throughout the bathroom felt too much like a butcher shop to me.

So, this bathroom is really on a different level compared to what most people have. If someone wants it, why not. But how on earth can you have a bathroom without a window?
@dear home builders: don’t just copy this! The door handle will definitely hit the glass panel. We had this in our old rental and I can’t recommend it. If you do it this way, the door should open outward.
Attached are pictures from our shell construction phase shortly before completion. We were just installing the shower door and the mirror. In the meantime, we also have a cabinet under the sink. We even have space for a sauna *hehe*

There is also an "original" version from Duscholux
