ᐅ Installing a laundry chute in the shower?

Oh, now it’s about living space?

Just read carefully: The "living space" I referred to is not the living room or lounge, but the usable area of the house that counts as living area (e.g., excluding areas like the basement). Because "living space" defines the total habitable floor area. Why should I give up living area in the attic for something that, at least for me, is more practical to have in the basement? Everyone is free to wash clothes however and wherever they like, place laundry baskets or machines wherever they want, and I have not criticized anyone for that.

However, I won’t accept being accused of trying to justify or defend something here. I simply stated my personal preference.

Are the pipes really already installed? I don’t see any. Otherwise, the shower is positioned as shown in the photo. Or should the wall projection of the laundry chute be included in the shower? Where is the plan, anyway?

Since it is drywall: wouldn’t it be possible for you to relocate the access panel to the hallway, close the opening here, and then tile over it?

I wouldn’t want to have to walk into the hallway every time because of the laundry, possibly even naked. It’s much more practical to have it right in the bathroom.

Where does the information come from about the hallway being on the opposite side?

Here is the shaft from the inside

Thank you.

Unfortunately, it is still not clear which materials were used. If it is lined on the inside with drywall (plasterboard), moisture could be an issue. If it is a built-in component made of plastic, it should not be a problem.

People go down to the basement to get potatoes or what?

No, to optimize the heat pump. Laundry gets done there as well, since you're down there all the time anyway 😉
