Hello everyone,
Our house floor plan is now basically finalized. However, we are still uncertain about the positioning of the toilet and washbasin in the kids’ bathroom.
Conditions for the kids’ bathroom:
* Size approx. 4.3 m² (46 sq ft)
* Dimensions: approx. 1.65 m (5.4 ft) x 2.6 m (8.5 ft)
* Bathroom is located in a gable, with a floor-to-ceiling window opposite the entrance door
Initially, we arranged the shower, washbasin, and toilet all along one wall on the right side of the plan. Advantage: technically simpler, possibly more straightforward; Disadvantage: toilet in front of the (floor-to-ceiling) window, the left side of the room is rather unused, and everything looks quite “lined up.”
See DraftII_OG
As an alternative, we have now planned the toilet opposite, on the left side of the plan. Advantage: toilet is away from the window; Disadvantage: we would need an additional wall-mounted installation and the waste pipe would have to be routed further to the right inside the bathroom to align with the ground floor.
See OG 5c
What do you think about these solutions? We are also considering placing the toilet diagonally at a 45-degree angle in the upper left corner as this might make better use of the space.
From your experience, what would you recommend? Thanks in advance for your replies!

Hello
if the elevations/windows should not be changed,
one possible solution would be to swap the washbasin and the toilet.
OlliYes, you convinced us, we will now arrange everything on the left side in one line.
We had also considered swapping the toilet and the washbasin. At least then you wouldn’t be sitting directly in front of the window. But we’re still not completely sure about that here.

You also stand "topless" at the washbasin sometimes 🙂
Best regards, Yvonne
Suggestion for a good solution: place the toilet next to the shower and the washbasin, or diagonally in the corner opposite if you prefer. The toilet has the smaller drain pipe, so this should be easier to manage.
Ceterum censeo: full-height windows really aren’t necessary here.

The lower part of the window in the children’s bathroom will be fitted with frosted glass. In front of both windows, we have planned narrow French balconies, so the frosted glass surface will likely not be too noticeable to onlookers.
11fant: Why place the washbasin now in the corner opposite? By now, we have become accustomed to the "everything in one line" solution. Probably the washbasin will be right by the window, with the toilet in the middle.
