ᐅ New Construction / Bathroom Design / 16 sqm / Alternatives?

What does the facade look like? Of course, this should be taken into account. And if it is a half-timbered house, for example, I would avoid a continuous row of windows.

Basically, one window should be enough. The washbasin should also be placed there.

Attached is a picture of the facade. The bathroom window is on the left side of the first floor.

Just as a basic idea, if the window at the end feels too "open" or visible, you can also use frosted film to significantly reduce visibility without greatly reducing the amount of light coming in.

Since the right side is not symmetrical either, how is the visibility from below? With the window there, people might be able to see inside completely!?

Hi!

I also think the frosted glass film is a great idea. It allows you to "raise" the parapet height without losing natural light.

I’ve re-uploaded the photo of the facade. Hopefully, it’s a bit clearer now.

On the right side, the front door is basically aligned with the left edge of the first-floor window frame. The right edge of the ground-floor frame is aligned with the end of the first-floor window above. It doesn’t have to be 100% symmetrical anyway, which is understandable since there are different elements and rooms involved (front door, corner room, etc.).

I would also really appreciate any suggestions or ideas for the layout inside the bathroom.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Christian

I wouldn’t be afraid of the window in the bathroom. In our family, we also have several bathrooms with large windows and pretty curtains in front of them. It makes the room wonderfully bright.

Regarding the layout: A bathroom this size is obviously very suitable for the T-shape.

In my opinion, the T-shape makes the room unnecessarily small, but of course, that’s a matter of personal preference. My suggestion for the layout would be:

- Shower like kaho’s design, with the exit facing the window/exterior wall. With 1.60 m (5 feet 3 inches), a simple glass panel on the side is enough, and the front of the shower can remain open.
- Radiator on the right wall next to the shower exit; keep in mind that towel warmers don’t provide very high heat output.
- Toilet in the corner along the exterior walls, either next to the window or next to the radiator.
- Bathtub in the opposite corner, basically under the window and along that wall.
- Sink on the left side of the door, and cabinets can be placed in the corner on the right (essentially behind the door).
