Hi, from the beginning we actually wanted to install a recessed shelf in our shower (see picture).
Unfortunately, we forgot this in all the stress.
The interior plaster is already applied, as well as the screed.
Is it still possible to create a niche in the side wall facing the storage room?
It is a non-load-bearing Ytong wall (11.5cm (4.5 inches) block) and with the plaster we have a 14cm (5.5 inches) thick wall.
We were thinking maybe about 70cm (28 inches) long, 30cm (12 inches) high (one tile height), and about 8-9cm (3-3.5 inches) deep.
Would that be possible? Especially since the plaster is already on? And without having to break through the whole wall?

For hygiene reasons, we decided against using a wall niche in the same shower construction. You can’t dry it properly with a squeegee, so it ends up needing cleaning or collects limescale and water deposits in the corner. Two people, two bottles. Whoever showers takes their own bottle from the cabinet, wipes it off with a towel after showering, and puts it back on the shelf. Everything stays clean. Karsten
Sorry Karsten, but I find that really complicated and impractical.
Especially with two kids, it’s not just two bottles.
My wife alone has three or four, with two or three of them for her hair.
And besides, where am I supposed to put them while showering?
Definitely not on the floor! That would make me feel like I’m in a cheap hotel.
It should be a bit cozy after all.
