I’m currently in the process of moving and setting up my new bathroom. However, I’m still missing some ideas for a practical and harmonious design.
Apart from the toilet, I’m not really fixed on the locations for the bathtub, shower, or washbasin.
The room, which used to be a storage space, measures 3.85m x 2.77m (12.6 ft x 9.1 ft). At the moment, there is a window installed, but I plan to replace it with a patio door.
Later, this will serve as the access to the covered terrace where the sauna and hot tub will be located 😉.
Originally, I thought about a walk-in shower with glass walls measuring 1.20m x 0.90m (4 ft x 3 ft) — lots of glass means lots of cleaning 🙄. Meanwhile, I now prefer a half-height wall corner shower. I’ve also moved away from a corner bathtub, as it takes up too much space and uses a lot of water when filled.
Please take a look at the attached picture and let me know what you would do differently or improve.
Regarding drainage, the toilet would be better positioned on the left wall. However, I’m not sure what to do with the bathtub in that case.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,
Manfred

On this side, it would be easier to install the toilet connection for the drain.

Generally, the sink with mirror is usually placed beside the window.
So, ideally where the toilet is located in option 2. However, if there is a covered terrace that is to be converted into a sauna (if that is even possible), the bathroom will likely have no natural light. In that case, the location becomes less important.
What I noticed is that the shower walls in both options are very narrow.
I can imagine that this might cause problems.
If the walls need to be made wider, the space for the toilet in option 2, for example, will become too tight.
Otherwise, in bathrooms, it is generally possible to work well with partition walls to move fixtures away from the walls and into the room. I personally really like this.
There is, for example, the well-known T-shape layout with the shower and toilet along the bottom of the T, and the sink or bathtub above the T.
A certain bathroom size is, of course, required for this.
Since we don’t have a large bathroom and didn’t want to place everything along the walls, we considered how to bring some fixtures further into the room in a practical way without having to use costly special designs.
We have now planned a 90 x 150 cm (35 x 59 inches) open shower in one corner.
Along the length, a 1.00 m (3 ft 3 in) high and 1.50 m (5 ft) long wall will be built as a boundary.
On the other side of this wall, the bathtub will be installed. Because there is a shaft going down in the shower corner, the length should also fit well with the bathtub.
A glass panel will be placed on top of the partition wall so that natural light can enter the shower while still providing splash protection.

The terrace has a glass roof, so during the day there is enough natural light without needing to turn on artificial lighting.
I had also considered the idea of T-walls. However, I think the bathroom, measuring 2.77 x 3.85 meters (9.1 x 12.6 feet), might be too small for that.
I quickly created a layout with a bathroom planner based on what you described.
Do you think it looks something like this, as shown in the attachment?
