Hello everyone,
we need your help with bathroom planning.
Problem 1: Guest WC
The 2.5 m² (27 ft²) small guest WC is currently not designed as a shower bathroom. However, we would like to integrate a small shower if at all possible.
The walls can no longer be changed. Only the arrangement of the plumbing connections and sanitary fixtures could be modified.
Is it even possible to integrate a small shower given the size?
Problem 2: Full Bathroom
We don’t really like the current layout of the fixtures here either but have no ideas on how to change it. We would be very grateful for any suggestions.

Thank you for the responses. You are probably right, and trying to force a shower into the guest bathroom will likely turn out to be more of a curse than a blessing.
So the full bathroom upstairs will have to suffice for the planned family of four.
Regarding the full bathroom:
- I find the option with the T very interesting and will discuss the additional cost with our general contractor.
Otherwise, many thanks for the active participation so far.

Yesterday, I happened to see a similar small room at some acquaintances’ place, with a hand basin opposite the door like in the plan. The entire room was tiled, with a drain channel and shower fittings where the WC is shown on the plan. A glass panel that swings into the shower can be folded out when needed. The toilet was located next to it on the right, providing enough space.
Since shower and toilet are never used at the same time anyway, this is a practical solution.
I was told you just need to be careful when installing any overhead shower head so that it doesn’t hit the glass partition.

As outlined by kaho in #13, this is already a good starting point for the design. Move the door slightly further to the left. Position the shower fitting on the right side according to the plan and install a drain there. Normally, I would leave it open and, if necessary (for showering!), use a shower curtain. Just kidding.
Even better: install a double folding glass door running from the top of the plan all the way down. That is, two sections folding from the top and two from the bottom. When not in use, they can be folded against the wall at the top and bottom, and when in use, you get a relatively spacious shower area of about 75–80 cm (30–31.5 inches) by 140 cm (55 inches). I’m thinking of something like this

The trick is that the shower fitting must not obstruct when folded away, so it must definitely be on the right side!
