Hello everyone,
Our bathroom is currently planned as follows:
In a 3D view, it looks roughly like this:
In the meantime, we came up with the idea of designing the bathroom differently:
Alternatively, with a full-height wall and a door opening:
The original floor plan might seem a bit straightforward.
The other layout hides the toilet.
The question here is whether a clear width of 90cm (35 inches) could be a bit tight?
The half-height wall variant might make it feel more open, but the downside is that the bathtub doesn’t line up with the half-height wall. The wall behind the toilet has to be 20cm (8 inches) deep because of the ventilation pipe in the corner. The bathtub is 80cm (31.5 inches) wide. Accordingly, the half-height wall would only be about 60cm (24 inches) long, which is not much space for the toilet. If you want to extend the wall, a 10–15cm (4–6 inches) casing around the bathtub would be needed, which would then narrow the space between the bathtub and the sink again.
The alternative with the full-height wall has the advantage that the bathtub wouldn’t require a casing. However, the area behind the wall might feel quite narrow and corridor-like (90 x 365 cm / 35 x 144 inches clear width).
What do you think?

So far, it's just a plan, right? You can still change the windows.The building permit / planning permission was issued a few days ago. So there won’t be much room to change the exterior anymore.kaho674 schrieb:
The exterior design probably won’t match anymore then.And this is an additional issue.

I extended the shower wall a bit so the wall-mounted cabinets can lean against it while also lengthening the shower.

Now adding a bathtub with a rounded corner (the one closest to the sink). However, the question is whether the privacy panel will make the area around the sink too dark?I would remove the walls. The bathroom becomes too small.
Although 11 sq m (118 sq ft) is not exactly small, partition walls act as barriers, making it visually feel like only 7 to 8 sq m (75 to 86 sq ft).
Windows can still be changed after obtaining the building permit / planning permission, as long as you’re not turning a regular window into a panoramic one.
At least the window facing the street should have a sill, because otherwise the walk into the shower becomes uncomfortable, even with a roller blind.
Terraced houses often have ceiling heights of only 2.40 m (7 ft 10 in) … we had 2.25 m (7 ft 4 in) with a typical layout. It works for two people, but with a family I would avoid bottlenecks.
I like the toilet opposite the shower, but without a privacy screen.

At least, the window facing the street should have a sill or apron installed; otherwise, using the shower will be quite exposed, even with a roller blind. That brings us back to the exterior appearance.
We spent a long time thinking about the windows back then and concluded that floor-to-ceiling windows not only bring more light into the room but also create a nicer exterior look.

Or did you mean it like this?
The WC wall adjacent to the bathtub looks a bit odd:
Or placing the bathtub in the middle between the toilet and the window:
