After reading here for a while, I now need some help. We are currently building, and things are getting more serious – decisions need to be made. We have planned for 2 bathrooms in our house. Our family consists of 5 people – 2 adults and 3 girls. One bathroom is intended as the master bathroom, but due to its proximity to child 3’s room, it will likely be used by her as well. The second bathroom is located between two children’s bedrooms and will be the kids’ bathroom.
Both bathrooms have wastewater connections on both sides, so according to the architect, we can design the bathrooms however we want. The doors can also still be changed.
The dimensions of the master bathroom are 3.50 x 3.30 meters (11.5 x 10.8 feet).
The dimensions of the children’s bathroom are 3.50 x 1.70 meters (11.5 x 5.6 feet), so it is quite narrow.
For the master bathroom, we are considering a T-layout. But how practical is that in 10 years? We definitely want a large shower and a concealed toilet.
I have made a few plans and hope for active feedback from you. After all, a bathroom is not something you replace every few years. The fixtures shown are only placeholders.

I think the children's version 3 is the best. We have a similar bathroom on the ground floor, but there, the entry is on the narrow side of the room (where your sink would be). This way, you still get some light from the window. In version two, with a built-in shower, there would be quite little light in the niche.
Alternatively, you could use the entire width of the room as the shower and install a glass shower enclosure in front of it, allowing entry from the center.

I also prefer option 1 for the main bathroom. A small tip: if you plan to install a heated towel rail, I would suggest moving the bathroom door slightly to the right (if possible). Otherwise, the installation depth of the towel rail will significantly limit the door’s opening angle.
For the kids’ bathroom, I find option 3 visually very appealing, but you’re right—building a partial wall will definitely be necessary, which will reduce the room’s depth. Additionally, you should consider that with this option, a standard window can no longer be fully opened due to the taps—it would only be possible to tilt it.
So, a window with a bottom vent (as often seen in kitchens) would be needed there.
Regards,
Dirk

I also prefer option V1 for the master bathroom.
In my opinion, the T-shaped layouts waste space and create many dirt-collecting and bump-prone corners in the bathroom.
For the kids’ bathroom, I would use the same shower area as in the master bathroom, but with a width of 80cm (31.5 inches), so the toilet can be placed next to it in width. This means the 170cm (67 inches) wall would be shared between the shower and the toilet. (However, with a rough construction dimension of 170cm, this might be a bit tight.) Alternatively, option V3 is not bad if the partition wall around the toilet is removed.
