Hello,
I have looked at many floor plans by now, and I noticed that the guest toilet is almost always located right next to the main entrance. This means that in most floor plans, you have to go through the dirt/laundry area to reach the toilet.
I think it would be better if the hallway/vestibule and cloakroom were directly next to each other, and the guest toilet/bathroom came afterwards (towards the living area).
Are there good reasons why the guest toilet/bathroom is usually placed in the entrance area/dirt zone?
Thanks and best regards,

I think an important consideration is also sound transmission. Sometimes using the toilet involves noise, and it seems more comfortable both for the person using the toilet and for any friends or family who might be sitting at the dining table eating, for example, bean soup. It is preferable that as little sound as possible is heard between them. The farther the guest toilet is located, the easier it is to achieve this goal.

I have no idea what kind of gas issues you have, but as long as the toilet isn’t located right next to the dining room door, the goal should always be achievable I never talk about myself, only about others. When I’m on the toilet, everything happens quietly, and afterwards it smells like roses.
For example, the flush should not be installed directly on the wall facing the dining area, as it can be quite audible. There are many reasons to position this room, with all its smells and sounds, on the edge of the building.

There are many reasons to locate this room with all its odors and noises at the outer edge of the building. Or simply plan the pipe routing properly... I also wouldn’t want the pipe inside the wall next to the dining table, but I haven’t seen that anywhere yet.
Interestingly, you often see designs where the bathroom water pipes from the upper floor run somewhere past the dining room... I always wonder why anyone would do that.
In my parents' house, the guest bathroom is also not located near the entrance area. Instead, it is nicely positioned right next to the living room. More specifically, the toilet is adjacent to the sofa, of course separated by a wall. But you can really hear everything. EVERYTHING. Therefore, I tend to use the bathroom upstairs, although that one – surprise – is also directly above the living room. You can hear the "splashing" there as well. That’s why, for us, the guest toilet will be placed in the hallway.
