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?

I wouldn’t have the door hinged that way. In the example [URL='https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/badplanung-grundrissgestaltung-mit-10_qm.47184/post-659341']from @ArminJG22, there is no problem fitting the light switch between the door frame and the glass shower partition. The door simply opens more naturally into the room, and the glass partition then makes more sense.
When you swap the door, you’ll need a door stopper to prevent accidentally hitting the glass wall with the door.

Thank you for your feedback. It helps me a lot. I have now adjusted the door in the master bathroom to open toward the wall, and there is indeed still space available for the switches. The toilet drain location is still flexible, so it should be planned for in the appropriate corner accordingly.
Attached is an updated floor plan.
I have also included the first draft of the interior guest toilet, measuring 205cm by 124cm (81 inches by 49 inches), with a variable door position. I would like to install a “backup shower” here in case there is a queue with kids or guests. What are your thoughts on this?

It might be that the towel radiator next to the bathtub is not allowed there. There are specific zones where certain fittings are permitted and others are not. I had a similar situation myself, where it would have been very close to the tub, but it wasn’t allowed. It’s probably better to place it behind the door.

I had a similar situation myself; it would have been very close to the tub, but was not allowed. Most likely it needs to be placed behind the door instead. It depends – if it is just a radiator connected to the underfloor heating system, it doesn’t matter. For a hybrid or fully electric connection, no electrical outlet may be installed within the splash zone – however, the electrical connection itself can be sealed directly. We have planned a radiator with a fully electric heating element in the exit area of the walk-in shower, and this has been approved and accepted by the electrician.
