Hello,
we are currently in the process of building a new house, and our bathroom, measuring approximately 4.3m x 3.6m (14 ft x 12 ft), was initially planned by our architect.
However, we are not yet fully satisfied with the bathroom layout. The points we find problematic are:
What we would like:
I have attached the floor plan. The width (west-east) of the room is about 4.3m, and the height (north-south) is about 3.6m. The dimensions are also shown on the attached floor plan.
It is important to note that the door in the lower left corner (formerly a balcony door) will no longer exist.
Additionally, I have marked a double vanity measuring 185cm x 85cm (due to a partition wall), a bathtub measuring 180cm x 85cm, and a shower measuring 160cm x 100cm.
Do you have any great ideas on how we could arrange this sensibly?
Many thanks,
Thomas

However, we are not yet fully satisfied with the bathroom layout. The points we find problematic are:
- the double vanity, which you walk straight into when entering the bathroom.
- the toilet is immediately visible upon entry.
- in the upper left corner, there is a service shaft/installation duct that we want to keep accessible (so it should not be blocked by anything directly in front of it).
What we would like:
- the toilet positioned so it is not directly in the line of sight when entering the bathroom.
- the toilet separated by a half-height wall to provide privacy.
- a urinal, if possible.

thomas-hn3 Feb 2026 20:18Then let’s ignore the I-cell for now (I will decide where to place it after planning the bathroom). Do you have any other great ideas without the I-cell?

thomas-hn4 Feb 2026 20:17The I-cell contains ventilation ducts, wastewater, hot water, cold water, and heating lines, coming from the technical room below. Since I can still make minor changes to the floor plan at this stage, it’s fine for me if you ignore the I-cell for now and I will reposition it later.
