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.

It should show a sliding door that moves in the arrow direction.
Ah, okay. I had suspected that, but a bathroom with a sliding door is not very common, so I thought that was probably not the case.

Forget about "standard practice" and do what you want. In our house, there is a sliding door made of frosted glass in front of the master bathroom. Advantage: it doesn’t get in the way and looks stylish. Disadvantage: it doesn’t provide much sound insulation.

As for the sliding door, I would only consider a wall-integrated option for the bathroom, if at all. They simply close better.

I would position the door as far to the right as possible and have it open outwards.

Maybe you should also consider the appearance in the hallway. Doors that are next to each other, with one opening inward and the other outward, can be visually unsettling.

Sure, there were answers, but half of them said no to the exterior, and the other half yes

How did you decide on the rest of your house construction? Or did the site managers make the decisions and you just approved them?
Why not with this one as well?
