ᐅ Opening direction of the bathroom door in the attic

Hello,

Is there any particular reason why it wouldn’t be advisable to plan the bathroom door in the 1.5-story house, that is, in the attic, to open outward into the hallway?

Currently, as shown in the drawing. But the idea now is to install a glass wall on the shower base behind the open door. That would require placing a door stopper in front of the shower base. Alternatively, as mentioned above, the door could open outward but in the opposite direction—meaning the handle on the right when standing outside, instead of on the left as it is now.

Thanks for your feedback.

I expressed my personal opinion. Why is that nonsense?

By the way, I wrote that I would probably do it with a door opening at a 90-degree angle to a wall.

In the emergency solution, I missed the "in my opinion"—it sounded like "this is how it is in new construction. Period."

And I overlooked the part about the wall; I was probably already too tired. So, all good...

Isn't an outward-opening bathroom door even a requirement for age-appropriate housing? In that respect, it would actually be an advantage.

There are also sliding doors, including wall-integrated ones.

Thanks for your opinions. However, they don’t really help me move forward with the decision.

Why, answers were given to your question after all.

No, there isn’t.
But since we don’t have the rest of the floor plan, we don’t know the situation in the hallway. So maybe there is something against it after all.

Of course, there were responses, but half of them preferred not to express their opinions openly, while the other half did.

Here is a bit more of the hallway.
