ᐅ Bathroom layout, 14 m², new construction, square-shaped, two windows

Hello everyone,

I would appreciate it if you could take a look at our bathroom layout plans.
Here is some background information:

• 14.4m² (155 ft²), upper floor (full story), window sill height = 1m (3.3 ft)
• The designs are roughly oriented to the north; to the east of the bathroom, behind the drywall, the bedroom is mirrored.
It probably makes sense to avoid placing the toilet on this wall.
• Design option 1 corresponds to the original plan, but the L-shape is not desirable (too cramped, too little light).
• Design option 2 was proposed by the bathroom planner, and a corresponding 3D rendering is included. I actually like it,
but my partner dislikes the small partition wall as well as the view from the toilet towards the window.
• The other designs are my (failed) attempts to fit all sanitary fixtures in the room 🙁
• Required are: bathtub, shower (120x100cm (47x39 inches), mostly glass, with a door), toilet, bidet, sink (120cm (47 inches) wide)
• Dark, secluded corners are not desirable, so the T-shaped design is ruled out as well
• If necessary, we would also consider a freestanding bathtub, or possibly a corner bathtub, if that fits better.
• Adjusting the windows by a few centimeters or modifying the sill height on the west side would probably also be possible
• I imagine a bathtub in front of the windows might not be very practical, but I wouldn’t completely exclude it
• The windows face the street or the neighbor’s property, so the view is not a major consideration 😉

We will try to schedule another appointment with the bathroom planner soon, but we don’t want to come completely unprepared,
so any tips are very welcome!

Thanks in advance and have a nice evening,

I just noticed that an image (1656785625637.png) was unintentionally added as an attachment. It has nothing to do with our bathroom planning but was copied by me from another thread as inspiration. Somehow the link was inserted into my post, although nothing like that was shown in the preview. So please just ignore it!

Instead of a bidet, I would choose a washlet toilet, one less fixture to install. Number 5 would be the best option if the sink and bathtub are swapped.

Yes, I have thought about that too. But besides the price, the maintenance and potentially sensitive technology put me off.

You probably mean something like this?

Yes, this looks better at first glance. It’s a pity we don’t want an open shower,
then the long shower partition wall would at least be useful. Of course, without the bidet, the wall can be shortened,
but I had hoped to somehow fit it in anyway.
The upper part of the shower partition could be made of glass, that would probably look okay?

Thank you very much and good luck,

What maintenance? Unreliable technology? Cost might be a factor, but it’s much more comfortable than a bidet!

I would plan with a bidet. A separate bidet has its advantages.
In a brief overview, 3 or 4 would be my favorite.
