Hello,
as always, we need to finalize the bathroom planning at very short notice for our building project. Our floor plan is very similar to this one, with the restriction that a toilet needs to be placed at or near the position of the bathtub.
The builder has proposed the following layout (it looks a bit cluttered because the original design is underneath). I still don't like it because I don’t see any practical space for one or two bathroom cabinets. Also, I think the entrance area to the shower might get wet, and I find the numerous bulkhead walls somewhat unnecessary.
I have planned another design that I hope the MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) engineers can implement as well. I would really appreciate your feedback on it. Thank you very much!
The idea behind the design is to realize a walk-in shower and protect it somewhat from water splashing out with a small glass panel around the corner. I would make the wall between the shower and toilet half-height and add another glass panel above it, possibly a bit longer. Do you think this could work?

Our walk-in shower is also located just inside the door, but it doesn’t spray water toward the entrance area – we just place a shower mat in front, and that works well.

goalkeeper4 May 2022 22:48We lived for years in a rental apartment with a glass shower and very hard water – which was really frustrating.
Therefore, in both of our bathrooms (also in a townhouse like yours), we prioritized the walk-in shower – the walls are tiled up to the ceiling. However, it would also be possible to build the wall only halfway up and install a glass panel. That option was also feasible for us.
This, however, is the bathroom on the children’s floor. Both kids are still very young and currently only sit in the bathtub – and later, as teenagers, they probably won’t care much about natural light in the shower.
We didn’t install a heated towel rail there because we simply don’t need one at the moment.

For us, it’s actually the opposite. There is hardly any limescale in our water here; we have never descaled our kettle, and it has probably been running for 5 years already.
We would therefore prefer to have more glass and fewer tiles. However, we are now uncertain again about having the bathtub in front of the window. For now, we will sleep on it, and tomorrow we will first need to check with the building services engineer to see if our plans are heading in the right direction.

In Germany, there is a general dislike of placing a bathtub in front of a window, and I don’t understand why.
My bathroom
The shower is on the right behind the door, and the toilet is next to it. The bathroom is small.
I have shown this one of my daughter quite a few times
The toilet is on the left behind the door. The door is centered. On the right is a 2m (6 ft 7 in) tall cabinet. The room measures 335x265cm (11 ft x 8 ft 8 in).
