Hello,
What concerns me, though, is the general location of the bathroom. The living room is certainly below on the ground floor, right? If the bathroom stays on the upper floor as planned, all the drainage pipes will run behind a boxed-in section through the living room.
Best regards, Building Expert

we still need some ideas for our bathroom layout on the upper floor. The room is located in our Frisian gable and has an open ceiling, meaning no traditional ceiling. The design is quite challenging because the room is not very large and quite unusual due to the gable location.
We don’t like the way the sanitary fixtures are currently arranged, especially since we definitely do not want a corner bathtub.
Do you maybe have some suggestions for the layout? You’re always so creative :-)

Hello Musketier,
thank you for your thoughts, but the floor plan and the room layout are definitely fixed. The ground floor will be built by the end of the week :-)
We have thought about this thoroughly and at length, and this is the floor plan tailored to our needs. Take a look at most other Frisian house floor plans and you will notice they simply have huge hallways on the upper floor, which wastes a lot of space. We wanted to make use of that space and, by our standards, we are doing that. It’s really a matter of personal taste 🙂
And honestly, for a guest toilet, we find it completely adequate. It’s enough for daytime bathroom visits and for the few times a year when some guests take a shower. I don’t live there myself, just like I don’t live in the hallway.
We have now decided to wait for the upper floor walls to be built and then make the final decisions on room placement on site. Because it’s such an unusual space, we simply lack the imagination to know exactly where everything should go.

I don’t live there, just like I don’t live in the hallway. Musketier is referring to the dead corners in the bathroom and hallway... it’s definitely unusual to plan something like that in a new build. 😉
When it comes to switching the bathroom/guest area versus workspace, Musketier is right in the sense that bathroom fixtures need vertical space as well (shower, toilet, and mirror). Keeping the gable open at the top might still seem unusually interesting to you, but bathroom planning will certainly be quite a challenge.

By swapping the bathroom/guest room and the home office, Musketier is correct in the sense that the bathroom fixtures also require vertical space (shower, toilet, as well as mirror).Not only that. The drainage for the toilet could be the most critical issue. If things go wrong, the pipes might end up coming out somewhere in the hallway below. If you swap the rooms, then it only affects the utility room.
