ᐅ Guest bathroom 75x90 cm shower faucet placement

Hello, we have planned a shower measuring 75x90cm (29x35 inches) in our guest bathroom. It is enclosed by walls and has an entrance area that is 60cm (24 inches) wide.
Now we want to install a standard surface-mounted shower valve with a thermostat, etc.
I am wondering where the best location for the valve would be—centered on the long side as shown, or rather on the short side? Maybe even in a corner?
I will likely need to use this shower when the children are older, so it will be used later on.

Upstairs, we have a shower measuring 90x120cm (35x47 inches), which is also enclosed by walls. The same question applies there.

Thanks for your input.

Hello

On the long side as shown, the shower only becomes unnecessarily narrower.
However, I don't think the short side is the perfect solution either.
I would choose a concealed installation option.

I agree with wrobel. A concealed installation makes sense here.
Are the measurements for the shell construction? You will probably add tiles on top, right?
The shower is quite narrow.

Yes, tiles will still be installed, but they only add about 1cm (0.4 inches), so the height was reduced from 76 to 75cm (29.9 to 29.5 inches).
If it’s built-in, where should the fixture be installed then?
At the moment, no door is planned, and of course, as little splash water as possible from the shower should reach the bathroom.
Are built-in fixtures really that much more space-saving?
Thanks for the quick feedback.

The way it is drawn has the advantage that you can turn on the shower and let the water run without getting wet.

Well, I always take the showerhead off the wall and run the water from my hand until it gets warm, then put the showerhead back on the wall. We are not planning a rain shower or anything like that, since no one here likes that way of showering.

Only a surface-mounted valve is considered, as it is easier to access if something breaks.

I have “professionally” marked one possible option. My wife and I are both right-handed.

Thank you very much for your feedback.
