Hello dear forum community,
we are almost finished with the planning of our project, but there is one issue that has concerned us from the start and that we haven’t been able to solve given the current floor plan layout.
I’ll try to keep it brief: We definitely want a built-in shower without a door in the ground floor bathroom (it doesn’t have to be fully walled up to the ceiling; it can also be half-open with, for example, glass extending up to the ceiling). Because of strict building regulations—or rather, regulations that are not favorable for our project—we get very little living space in the attic, so we had to give up on having the bedroom there. Therefore, the bedroom, dressing room, and master bathroom are all on the ground floor. Due to the somewhat limited square footage, we are unable to fit the shower in the bathroom the way we would like. Do you perhaps have any tips or ideas on how we could plan the shower a bit larger or longer within this floor plan so that we wouldn’t need a door for the shower? I was told that a doorless shower only makes sense from about 1.60m (5 ft 3 in) in length.
I’m deliberately not going into further detailed information about the project, the plot, etc., since this concerns only the bathroom. The bathroom is 12.66 m2 (136 sq ft), the dressing room is 9.09 m2 (98 sq ft), and the master bedroom is 15.31 m2 (165 sq ft).
For completeness, here are all three floors.
Thanks in advance for all helpful suggestions.

Yes, I also immediately noticed the headboard on the bed.
What is that next to the toilet in the bathroom supposed to be? Another sink or a bidet?
And while looking... the kitchen layout like that doesn’t work either.
Also, for ideas you need wall measurements, not square meter figures.

Of course, the windows can still be changed, no problem.
The kitchen will not be as shown on the plan. The island will be removed, and instead, the area to the bottom right of the window will be extended upwards (like a U-shape, with the right leg shorter, which makes sense).
Unfortunately, I don’t have any wall measurements at the moment.
The fixture next to the toilet is a washbasin, as we wanted to create some spatial separation here for guests. However, we have now agreed that the additional washbasin can be removed.
