Hello everyone!
I’m writing this here because it’s somehow related to floor plans. A few months ago, a civil engineer I know said that all toilet windows next to entrance doors should be bricked up. Since then, I’ve been looking more closely at floor plans on this forum with that statement in mind.
A lot of people plan a toilet window next to the entrance door. Is this just the personal opinion of a perfectionist? What do you think?
By the way, the term "guest toilet" seems strange to me, since the family uses it daily and guests occasionally. I only learned this term here on the forum.

The doors are often simply 0.5-1cm (0.2-0.4 inches) shorter to ensure airflow between the individual rooms.
Zehnder and Tecalor even explicitly point this out.Ours are not shorter. Airflow occurs through the door frames.
Having a toilet near the entrance is simply practical.
How often does someone cough or make noise with the window open while a person is standing at the door.
Inside the house, it is rarely so quiet that you can hear how far it carries.
With the door closed, there is no smell.
Nowadays, with ventilation systems, any odor disappears quickly anyway.
Otherwise, it is something natural. Whether poor or rich, young or old, no one’s bathroom smells like roses.

Since most bathroom windows are left tilted open outside the heating season, noises and odors can be unpleasantly noticeable to the residents, visitors, delivery personnel, and postal workers at the front door, which he said can cause embarrassment.Permanently tilted open...
1. does not mean that the bathroom is in use continuously and therefore noises and odors are constantly escaping from the room.
2. nowadays most bathrooms have ventilation systems, so opening the window is no longer necessary.
3. such a window invites break-ins, so it should be avoided whenever possible.
