Solid construction, if it weren’t for the shower 😉
A functioning house, except for the shower on the upper floor (master bathroom). That would be a defect if it were to be installed.

Hello Yvonne. Thanks for your feedback. What do you mean by a defect in the parents' bathroom shower? Is it because of the sloping ceiling?
I hope I attached the files correctly.

The shower should actually be placed where the door is. The door would then need to open outward.

At what height should the showerhead be installed? And how much space do you want to allow between your head and the showerhead?
But the toilet should also have its front edge positioned at least 2 meters (6 feet 7 inches) away!

Me again.
I just noticed: Toilets need to be stacked vertically!
In my opinion, the children's rooms should be on the west side.

Therefore, I would suggest mirroring the entire upper floor. Morning sun in the bathroom makes people happy [emoji4]
