Here, a ribbon window would be suitable, with the same dimensions as the side panel on the ground floor, only rotated and flush with the right side view.

A ribbon window is long and narrow and has a high sill.

The sink will likely be positioned roughly in the center of the room on an island.

The sink’s wastewater goes directly out of the building without needing to be connected to a soil stack.

You would need to explain where the soil stack is supposed to go, since it passes through the kitchen! So it’s best to place it in a corner there... this then needs to be appropriately marked in the bathroom.

I have reviewed the ground floor plan again (see attachment).

Ideally, as I see it, it should be on the lower right side (street-facing). This would widen the wall recess on the ground floor by the thickness of the downpipe. The lower left side wouldn’t be much worse, in which case only the kitchen cabinet would need to accommodate the cutout.

That would be a good location, yes.
I see you haven’t planned the wastewater system yet.
But please redraw the staircase in the bathroom: how can the first post align with the ground floor?
Helpful question: is it possible to relocate the bathroom door?

Hi!

The staircase in my sketches is the one from the first floor to the studio. The staircase from the ground floor to the first floor is not included in my sketches.

Therefore, the door can be moved slightly to the right. Moving it to the left is problematic due to the staircase.

(I have also attached the studio plan for better understanding)

Then the issue with the downpipe on one side of the kitchen is resolved.
I see the pipe then on the bottom left side—because of the bathroom in the studio.
Anything else would be impractical.
So the toilet would be located roughly where I have drawn the shower.
Builders say everything is possible, but if you ever have a clogged pipe, it would be troublesome to break through a bathroom wall.
(The question is whether the builder plans a utility shaft more centrally somewhere, but that seems impractical there because of the staircase.)

How many people will use the bathroom?
How much countertop space do you want along the length?

I had already pushed the idea of having the bathroom in the studio out of my mind. So you are, of course, right—the drain pipe only makes sense at the bottom left.
