ᐅ Walk-in shower, seeking advice

We are planning a walk-in shower: 1.5 m (5 feet) wide and 1 m (3 feet) deep.

Since the architect designed the toilet in a way that makes access somewhat awkward, I have the following questions:
1) Where and how large would you make the shower entrance?
2) Is just an opening enough, or would you partially extend the wall into the shower as shown in the drawing? Or should a glass door be installed?
3) Or do you think leaving the side facing the toilet open and entering from there is better? I find that a bit too narrow and unattractive myself.

Thank you for your ideas and tips

Yes, it really is individual. My husband prefers warm showers—actually, hot showers—and is quite sensitive to cold or drafts. All good.

Personally, I really appreciate the lack of a door (especially considering the delicate seals, hinges, etc.)! On top of that, concrete-look tiles—which couldn’t be more durable!

No, he doesn’t think it’s too cold or drafty :-P

We used exactly that curtain temporarily...
