Hello everyone,
I’m in a bit of a rush again. It’s a long story, so I’ll get straight to the point. I need to plan my bathroom layout by tomorrow evening, deciding where and how I want everything. How would you arrange the sanitary fixtures?
I’ve uploaded the floor plan with the bathroom measurements. The layout also shows how our architect (not great) would do it. But I don’t like it.
The bathroom is about a bit more than 8m² (86 sq ft). You can find the dimensions in the plan. I want a bathtub, a sink, and a standard-size toilet. The shower should be 90 by 140cm (35 by 55 inches).
The only thing I really want is to have the sink closer to the door. It bothers me that it’s all in a row and feels cramped between the toilet and shower. I’ve already looked at several pictures but can’t move forward.
Our requirements:
Shower at least 140 by 90cm (55 by 35 inches)
Sink 80cm (32 inches), 60cm (24 inches) would also work in a pinch
A drywall partition in the bathroom is not necessary but could be considered
Sink closer to the door
Would anyone be willing to suggest ideas? As I said, I’m still designing and need help. I need a plan to submit tomorrow.
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to help and reply.

I think if you draw it to scale, the corner bathtub extends much further into the room, and then the corner of the shower screen might become tight.You would have to try it. If necessary, make the shower a bit shorter.I took up Silke’s idea.
A 160 x 100 cm (63 x 39 inches) tub won’t work, but a 135 x 135 cm (53 x 53 inches) corner bathtub does.
What bothers me personally is standing in front of the door – it’s uncomfortable both for the person getting ready and for anyone who wants to enter. Also, I think the space is too small to separate off. A glass partition is harder to clean, but it makes the bathroom feel more spacious.

The best advice is: just take it. EXACTLY as it is!
As a reminder: we are still talking about https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/grundriss-reiheneckhaus-in-planung-aenderungsvorschlaege.43992/ — that is, a townhouse (developer project).
This is by far the worst “victim” if you try to achieve 100% alignment with a dream house. Trying to force it through will fail spectacularly, beyond even the wildest imaginations of home construction disaster documentaries.
Maybe you don’t like the compromises — but you should have thought about that earlier and not chosen a development path that is the least suitable for individualists. The results of your attempts to make changes (one-of-a-kind disasters instead of a low-maintenance standard design) would probably be even less pleasing. Apparently, Ilsebill Fischer seems to be seriously neglected in today’s language classes.

Would anyone like to suggest some ideas? As I said, I still have freedom in the design and need help. There is no freedom. There are fixed requirements, minimum dimensions, pre-installed plumbing, windows, and doors. What exactly is still flexible?
In my opinion, the original layout remains the best so far. I would choose more appealing finishes and leave it at that.

The advice from our construction company is terrible... I don’t want to discuss it now, I’m already at my limit. I need a plan I can submit tomorrow. I only see one difficult party involved here.

The advice from our construction company is terrible..... I don’t want to discuss it now, I’m already close to my limit. The advice is dismissed because it already represents the limits of what is reasonably possible in a developer-led project. By the way, buyers are not the same as self-builders — this seems to be your fundamental misunderstanding. Unfortunately, many sales representatives are poorly trained in identifying and filtering out customers who are "individual self-builders." This would actually be advisable, as this type of customer inevitably harms the providers’ reputation with their dissatisfaction. Instead of appreciating the sales teams’ successful efforts in efficiently turning a limited range of options into affordable, standardized construction, these lost customers label developers as stubborn and unservice-oriented. The potential for cost-effective building cannot be realized beyond a certain point without strict discipline and restrictions. Due to this fundamental mismatch between individual self-builders struggling with the buyer role on one hand, and standardized products on the other, the potential for satisfaction is doomed from the start — you might say with a Damocles sword hanging over it. Therefore, sales consultants should advise such lost prospects to step back (or help them develop enthusiasm for this form of home-building realization). Take the well-planned, standardized product as close to the original as possible, and seek your solution not in stubborn remodeling but rather through a pragmatic exit after a reasonably short holding period. You won’t be able to turn it into a unique custom home — the only thing you can perfect here is your frustration over the gap between an individual self-built house and a buyer house.
