Hello dear collective intelligence,

We are currently planning a 10 sqm (108 sq ft) main bathroom in a new build. The challenge is that the room is somewhat narrow and elongated, and I am uncertain about the best layout, especially considering comfort and practicality.

Here are the current wishes and requirements:
Walk-in shower, flush with the floor, 90 to 100 x 120 cm (35 to 39 x 47 inches)
Bathtub maximum 80 x 180 cm (31 x 71 inches) or, for example, trapezoid-shaped 160 x 85 or 170 x 100 cm (63 x 33 or 67 x 39 inches)
Washbasin 80 to 100 cm wide (31 to 39 inches)

Attached is an initial floor plan. The window position is fixed; the door can be moved upwards but not downwards.

What do you think? Are there any other ideas?

Here is our alternative idea with the toilet right next to the window. The bathtub could possibly be trapezoidal, narrowing into the room.

How about this? The sink could also be smaller if you want to include a plant. The toilet is not visible from the door, and there is a view from the bathtub looking outside.

Perfect, thank you very much! That’s it. I just moved the door a little so it opens toward the shower, allowing space to install the light switch.

Where is the drainage planned to be installed?

Are you sure the light switch is inside the bathroom? In my case, it’s outside, probably due to the wet room regulations. It might be worth considering having the door open outward instead of inward. I have it that way because otherwise the door would hit the glass shower wall when opened with some force, depending on the layout outside the bathroom in that area.
