ᐅ Redesign of bathroom and bedroom. Room sizes are still slightly flexible.

Hello,
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?

Alright... back to the original width, but the shower is now at the back left.
The bathtub is not freestanding. This also leaves plenty of space in the bedroom.
A 160cm (63 inch) bed should fit, but for now, it will just be a 140cm (55 inch) one for me.

I think the layout idea is good. However, the step between the bathtub – the pre-wall (wall buildout for plumbing) – and the windowsill might look a bit busy or uneven, as well as the step down to the glass shower wall.
Maybe it would make sense to align these elements to the bathtub height or reduce the raised area at the window to a minimum just for the faucet, like I solved it:

knalltüte27 Jul 2020 23:10@pagoni2020 Rotating the shower screen was definitely a great idea!
I will determine the individual heights of the interior walls on site myself, except for the pre-wall elements that need to be full height. I plan to build them using a timber frame construction method, which I think fits better with the building style of the house. I might also get measured laminated safety glass (ESV/VSG) panels from a glazier (customer)cut to size...
The only remaining question is the surface finish. How could you finish drywall (gypsum board) without tiles or plaster? Would just a "special paint" possibly be sufficient?

Maybe it would be a good idea to align these heights to the bathtub level, or reduce the elevation at the window to a minimum just to accommodate the faucet. This is how I solved it:There is no need for a pre-wall here. I think it can look very harmonious even if the windowsill is directly above the bathtub. It really depends on the overall look.

great bathroom, I already admired it in the related thread!
We are building with solid timber (10cm (4 inches) glulam / cross-laminated timber).
You might be able to fit DN50 pipes, but DN70 pipes are unlikely.
And definitely not within the main partition wall of the house, which is completely off-limits due to soundproofing reasons.
Additionally, the pre-wall elements are used for routing pipes (wastewater, potable water, and controlled mechanical ventilation supply/exhaust) from the upper floor to the ground floor (and then through the foundation downwards...).
