Hello everyone,
attached is the floor plan of the master bathroom.
Access is intentionally only through the walk-in closet, which is located to the left of the bathroom. Because of the children's bathroom, the master bathroom in the lower left corner is practically unusable. The bathtub is currently planned as a corner tub (this is not yet clear from the plan).
My issue is the following: I would like a walk-in shower without a door, since we will be living in an area with hard water and cleaning is not our favorite task. In my opinion, the wall between the toilet and the shower would need to be 1.40 m (4 feet 7 inches) long to prevent excessive water splashing. However, that leaves very little space for the bathtub. In my view, a T- or L-shaped layout is not possible because the bathroom is too small.
Would it be wiser to keep the wall between the toilet and shower at 1.20 m (3 feet 11 inches) and instead install a glass door for the shower?
Do you perhaps have ideas or suggestions for a different layout? Or is this already the most practical solution?
Best regards.

Just a quick thought... I would move the access to the bathroom, because right now the niche at the bottom is practically 2.5 m² (27 ft²) of wasted space.
And then something like this:

Shower in the niche at the bottom, sink on the left side, bathtub in the upper right corner, and possibly the toilet positioned diagonally... you would need to coordinate this precisely with the bathtub dimensions.

That would simplify many things.
Thank you very much!
The bathtub in the recess below seems a bit tight at about 1.70 meters (5 ft 7 in) wide. We would prefer a 1.9-meter (6 ft 3 in) tub since we are both tall.
If the shower is placed in the recess:
What about water splashing outside? If the shower entrance should be at least 70 cm (28 in) wide, the wall would only be 1 meter (3 ft 3 in) long.
This bathroom has been causing me some headaches for quite a while.
Originally, where the children's bathroom is now, there was a sauna planned. It should now rather be placed outside. By moving the children's bathroom there, the children's rooms have become larger.
Would it perhaps also be a viable option to make the children's bathroom more rectangular instead of square, and thereby rearrange the master bathroom differently?

With the 120x120 cm (47x47 inches) option, the water might go beyond the intended shower area and basically into the room.By the way, I find the children's bathroom uncomfortably small .
How does the layout continue on the right side?
I have attached the complete upper floor plan. On the left, there is access from the bedroom to the roof terrace. This terrace can also be reached from the children's rooms as well as from the hallway, so guests do not have to walk through any rooms to get to the roof terrace. We intend to keep this layout as it is.
The staircase on the right side of the plan is to remain there due to the overall layout with the ground floor.
There is therefore very little flexibility regarding major changes to the bathrooms.
The children's bathroom is quite small, I agree. However, there are no children yet, although it is planned.
