Hello,
We are almost finished with the planning of our house; only the bathroom layout remains to be finalized.
The bathroom is relatively small and has sloped ceilings, but we would still like to have a walk-in shower if it can be done without major compromises.
The first draft comes from the general contractor’s floor plan, and I tried making a second version myself. My girlfriend has already criticized the second plan because you step directly into the shower when entering the bathroom; maybe this could be changed by having the door open in the opposite direction. I see the main advantage of my layout in the significantly longer shower. The contractor’s shower is about 130cm (51 inches), mine is over 150cm (59 inches).
The room measures approximately 270cm by 290cm (106 by 114 inches), and the skylight faces east. To the left of the bathroom is the staircase, and to the right is the study, with the utility room located below it. Do you have any better ideas?
Thank you

I understand that you’d rather avoid using glass if there are other options. But in such a small bathroom, the possibilities are quite limited. I would even consider a solution where the glass walls can fold away after showering (and after using the cleverly placed squeegee there *g*). That really makes the small bathroom feel more spacious.
In general, I would think about skipping a separate shower and instead integrating it into the bathtub. There are smart solutions nowadays with easy access and so on. For bathrooms under 10 sqm (108 sq ft), I think this is always an option worth considering.
And finally: please let go of the second “n” – I always associate it with walking along the Inn river (a beautiful area in Schleswig-Holstein). No, you just want to walk into the shower, so it’s “Walk In” 😉

Now that at least the basement is finished, I have to say that the rooms actually feel a bit larger in reality than they do in the software.

That really opens up the small bathroom.I have actually seen these fold-away walls in real life and thought they were great. I just wonder how long they last before they stop working properly. It might also be a bit inconvenient.
I took the second "n" from the general contractor’s offer.
I am also very skeptical about the stability of the foldable walls; a shower in the bathtub is out of the question. It will be at least a 90cm by 90cm (35 by 35 inches) shower in the corner, which should fit comfortably in terms of space.
After watching the videos, I definitely prefer the second floor plan with the glass wall. Let’s see how much they will credit for removing the wall. The shower is about 1.50m (5 feet) long — does it still need a door? We originally wanted to leave it out. If a few water drops splash outside, that’s not a big deal.
