Hello house building forum,
First of all: this concerns an apartment, not a house! Since I couldn’t find a condominium forum, I hope it’s okay to turn to you anyway!
I have the problem that I need to confirm this week how we want the bathroom. The shell construction is complete, and the interior walls are (mostly) still flexible.
Everything else is settled, only the bathroom is giving us headaches. We have two options, see attachments. It’s important that the length of 2.72 m (9 ft) and the width of 3 m (10 ft) are fixed. So for the design with the toilet corner, it’s walls A and B.
The tricky part is really the window: it is 1.51 m (5 ft) wide and has a mullion, meaning it can open in two ways (about 1.10 m (3 ft 7 in) and 40 cm (16 in)), with a sill height of 1.43 m (4 ft 8 in). I don’t have the window height at hand right now, but it should be about 60 cm (24 in). I’ll go there again this week to measure it properly.
We don’t want a bathtub, but a shower that is as large as possible and flush with the floor. Below (where the toilet is) is the guest bathroom. The shower in the main bathroom should not be too large either, meaning it shouldn’t take up unnecessary space.
Overall, we need a washbasin (width 1.60 m (5 ft 3 in)), the toilet, the shower, and a cabinet for towels and small items.
Now the questions:
- In your experience, which floor plan is better/more practical?
- Does a shower of 1.80 m (6 ft) length and 1 m (3 ft 3 in) width make sense, or is that “too much”? The gray-shaded area is meant to show the shower measuring 1.80 x 1 m.
- What other ideas do you have for what could be implemented or improved?
Please don’t pay too much attention to incorrect details in the floor plans (such as washbasins shown rotated the wrong way), some things went wrong during the layout changes and I didn’t have the energy to fix everything again.
Many thanks in advance!!

Hi,
great, I’m glad to hear that! :-)
I just noticed that the pictures got rotated – both should actually be uploaded at the same angle.
The wall from the door towards the window will be 2.72 m (9 feet) long and cannot be changed. However, the parallel wall can be adjusted (for example, to add a toilet niche). The wall with the window cannot be changed; it will remain 3 m (10 feet) as it is, or theoretically it could be altered, but that would affect the bedroom.
So, 2.72 x 3 m (9 x 10 feet) are the bathroom dimensions indicated in the architect’s proposal.
If we move the toilet niche, this will reduce the storage room space and slightly reduce the guest bathroom space (though this is negligible).
Ideally, we would like to fit a large shower, a 160 cm (63 inch) washbasin, and a toilet properly into the floor plan without a niche.
We have been going back and forth for days, drawing and calculating, but eventually your head gets full and no new ideas come up, or the ideas keep repeating.

Is the door movable?I’m asking because it has different positions on both plans.
Here is a rough sketch.
Why do you need two oversized sinks? They take up too much space for no reason, whereas counter space would be more useful.
