Hello everyone,
we are about to complete the bathroom on the top floor of our new build. The pipes have already been installed going upwards. We have a laundry chute in that room. We would also like to install a shower, which would need to be positioned in a way that the laundry chute is integrated into it. Do you have any ideas on how to make the chute waterproof? Is this even possible?

Just to clarify: The "living space" I referred to is not the parlor, living room, or similar, but the part of the house that is not usable area (for example, the basement). The "living space" constitutes the living area. So why should I sacrifice living area in the attic for something that, in my opinion, is better located in the basement. Everyone can wash laundry however and wherever they want, place laundry baskets or machines wherever they like, and I have not criticized anyone for that.
But the laundry chute also takes up space, doesn’t it? At least, if it runs through several floors, it requires more space than just a laundry basket.

Oh, now it's about living space? 🤨 Bathrooms and/or bedrooms, where laundry baskets are placed, are also considered living space.

No, to optimize the heat pump. The laundry can be done at the same time since you’re down there all the time anyway 😉Good one! So let’s agree: when planning a heat pump, always consider having the laundry in the basement 😀Hello everyone,
thank you to those who shared helpful ideas. Attached is the floor plan. I have roughly marked the shaft; its dimensions are 50x59 cm (20x23 inches).
The boxing is made of drywall. The pipes are also located inside the boxing.
And once again for the critics 🙂 : the laundry chute brings us joy every day! It was definitely the right decision because it helps us keep everything much more organized. And we absolutely do not lack space. The input point in the attic may have been planned a bit inconveniently, but I am sure that a nice solution can be found for our second bathroom.

It's good to hear that you are satisfied. But you usually don't want to criticize something you did yourself.
If you really had the space, I don’t understand the decision.
You could also simply install a collection system and keep everything on the level where the laundry is generated. Order and short distances.
Everything else is a logistical planning error (but one you can live with).
