Hello,

we are building a house through a developer, and I am not satisfied with the current design of the en suite bathroom.
The bathroom measures 2.9m x 2.6m (9.5 ft x 8.5 ft) and is intended only for us parents. The bathtub will be used as long as the children are still small.
I estimate that the plumbing connections and layout are still flexible. The window extends from the floor to the ceiling.

I would like to include a walk-in shower option (width 85cm, length 1m [33 inches x 39 inches]), but I am aware that this might be challenging due to the available space.
I am also considering whether a more compact bathtub or even a shower-bathtub combo would make sense :/

How would you design this bathroom?

If you move the sink around the corner next to the window, you’ll have more space for a larger shower.
If none of this works and there isn’t any more space available, I might consider skipping the separate parent/child bathroom and just have one large bathroom.
Is there a toilet on the ground floor where a shower could fit?
Or are you a large family (3 or more children)? In that case, having more bathrooms definitely makes more sense.

Here is another idea... unfortunately, the spacing between elements cannot be measured...

The bathtub where the toilet is now?

And do you want the bathtub just because of the children, or do you also use it yourselves?

How long does a bathtub need to be for you?

With the 265cm (8 feet 8 inches) wall... after deducting space for a door with some clearance and the door frame, you have a maximum of 165cm (5 feet 5 inches) left.

I doubt the toilet can be placed against the exterior wall without a good reason.

How about the following order:

Shower where the bathtub is now
then the washbasin
then the toilet
Bathtub against the wall with the window

Given the room dimensions, I would install the shower with two glass walls; leaving it open is not an option because water would splash out.

Edit: first, it really needs to be clarified which plumbing connections can be moved!
