ᐅ New Bathroom Design for a 10.8 m² Space – How to Optimize Its Use?

Hi, we are currently planning our bathroom among other things, thinking about how to make the best use of the space.
At the moment, everything is still flexible, including the adjacent rooms.
Currently, our bathroom measures 351 x 326 cm (138 x 128 inches), which is 11.44 m² (123.1 ft²).
According to the architect’s plan, though, it’s only 10.80 m² (116.3 ft²). Why is that? Are the wall structures like the stud wall and partition wall deducted?
We’ve designed our bathroom using the Villeroy & Boch planner.
The furniture we used was just random for now; we will probably shop at IKEA.
The double sink will also probably come from IKEA (to save costs).
I find it somewhat cramped and a bit oppressive, don’t you think?
The bathtub size is 180 x 80 cm (71 x 31 inches).
Thanks a lot for your support.

Even brick walls need cleaning... and sometimes that can be even more exhausting than cleaning a glass wall...
However, glass is usually more expensive...
I would recommend keeping the shower as open as possible... For example, I shower both morning and evening, but in summer I have natural daylight and don’t need to turn on the light... with a full-height wall, that wouldn’t be possible.
What about moving the toilet all the way to the left? In other words, mirror the toilet/shower/sink area so that daylight from the window reaches the shower? Then you could keep the T-wall...

But a wall is easier to clean, at least in my opinion. Spray bathroom cleaner on, let it sit for a bit, wipe it down, rinse off, and if you want to be very thorough, you CAN use a rubber squeegee to remove the water from the wall—but it’s not necessary.
With glass, you have to do that. And I personally don’t like splattered glass walls, so I squeegee the glass shower panel after every shower. I don’t do that with tiled walls because you simply don’t see the splashes as much.
So my clear preference is definitely for a tiled wall, if possible.
The bathtub can go under the window, so along the lower end corner under the window, and the shower in the lower left corner with the opening facing the window. The door will then need to be shifted slightly upwards, but if I’ve understood correctly, that should still be possible. Then the toilet can go against the wall, as BeHaElJa suggested, or against the outer wall, possibly with a privacy screen, and the washbasin where the shower currently is. However, I wouldn’t recommend making the wall to the shower full height.
Overall, I would consider enlarging the bathroom at the expense of the master bedroom by moving the wall a bit downwards. You have a dressing area, and the closet/sideboard marked at the upper end of the bedroom isn’t necessary. I would give more space to the bathroom there. For four people using it, that’s definitely not a luxury.

In my opinion, the placement of the washbasin in examples 1, 2, and 4 is not suitable at all, as it blocks natural daylight from the window.
Have you already planned the drainage or obtained approval for it? In my opinion, the drainage stack is also determined by this.
