knalltüte26 Jul 2020 14:05Hello,
Apparently, I have desires that at least I can’t quite translate into a proper plan ops:
My bathroom on the ground floor has the party wall on the left side. This wall must not be channeled! Therefore, if any elements are planned there, they must be incorporated with a suitable pre-wall system.
My wishes: Freestanding bathtub approximately 170–175 x 75cm (67–69 x 30 inches), walk-in shower preferably 100 x 140cm (39 x 55 inches) or slightly larger, a washbasin about 60cm (24 inches) wide (with countertop basin plus vanity cabinet with drawer), and a mirror cabinet above it.
A toilet with enough space to optionally add grab bars later. I would like to reserve space at least for an electric wall-mounted heater.
In the bedroom, I don’t have many wishes: a bed measuring 140 x 210cm (55 x 83 inches), a wardrobe plus a chest of drawers must fit in — that’s it. (For me, the bedroom is like a hotel room during vacation, quite “unimportant,” since I’m there just to sleep and store some clothes.)
I’m slowly getting the impression that there might not be enough space in the bathroom for the freestanding tub. Therefore, I’m willing to give up a bit of space in the bedroom if possible. The partition wall between the two rooms is still flexible, which could also help ease the tight door situation to the storage room a bit.
Does anyone have any good ideas for me?

The rooms are each 3.21 m (10.5 feet) deep, the bathroom is currently 2.93 m (9.6 feet) wide, and the bedroom is 3.99 m (13.1 feet).

knalltüte26 Jul 2020 17:59This is what my current plan looks like, with a width of 320cm (126 inches).
The blue lines show the planned ductwork for the mechanical ventilation system from the external utility room to the laundry room.
However, about 1.4m² (15 sq ft) of space is "lost" due to the roughly 22cm (9 inches) deep pre-wall installation elements in the bathroom.
This is a bit unfortunate for the small living unit, and I would like to avoid it, but I can’t find a better solution.

knalltüte26 Jul 2020 18:32Hello, yes. The floor structure is approximately 24cm (9.5 inches) high from the finished floor level. Routing only the controlled residential ventilation through the floor is probably difficult due to insufficient cover.
Of course, short pipe runs would be ideal. Water supply comes from the north, near the party wall (external utility room). Wastewater location doesn’t matter.

I would much prefer a nicely built-in bathtub. My feeling is that the freestanding one would look cramped; I would rather go for 180 or 190cm (71 or 75 inches) for that.
How about placing the bathtub to the left after the door, and the shower at the top left of the plan? That way, the shower could really have the desired size, with the toilet and shower facing each other.
