Hello everyone!
Since construction will start in a few weeks, but we decided through the offers to design the house a bit more compact, we are now planning our bathroom.
This is already important for us because the bathroom is on the ground floor. There is no basement, so we have to fix the basic plumbing now.
Requirements:
We want a fully functional bathroom, preferably with 2 washbasins, a toilet, a bathtub, and a floor-level (masonry) shower without glass.
The left door should provide access to the garden.
Access from the bedroom is not desired; the bathroom should continue to be accessible through the dressing room.
The 45° angle would almost impose itself in this case because the access to the bedroom would not be so narrow and dark, but at the same time, the space behind the bathtub would not be needed. Moving the bedroom door downward along the bathroom wall is also not possible because we need the wall there as a bearing wall (otherwise a beam with a steel girder would be necessary).
The bathroom is mainly for me and my wife; the children have their own bathroom.
What do you think of the idea? My architect said he could only imagine it if the angled wall by the shower were made of glass.
Are the 5.5 cm from the bathtub to the door enough?
Do I have to worry about constantly flooding the area near the toilet when showering, or should it work out? If it only drips out a little, which is probably the case, that would be okay for us.
Do you have any completely different ideas? The rough construction dimensions are currently pretty exactly 2.63 m x 3.15 m, the position of the garden door is completely flexible (also possible at the top), and the door from the dressing room to the bathroom could only be shifted a bit downward.
Many thanks in advance for your help and ideas! :)
Best regards, Mathias
