I am back and would like to return to my old topic. We are almost done and the bathroom is still left. I am counting on your opinion again :).

Currently:
The toilet is in the back corner. The plan is not to make the wall completely high. The architect suggests a wall that still (or just barely) conceals the person sitting on the toilet. Then glass up to the ceiling. Another idea from my husband, which would be cheaper: wall up to the top with a gap at the top, without glass.

Other idea:
Switching shower and toilet to save costs: no shower glass walls needed. On the other hand, I would find it a pity if the window light is even further from the shower. Actually, it is better if the toilet is rather hidden. My husband pointed out that the toilet is used more often than the shower.

As you can see: we have found many pros and cons. What do you think?

My husband has given me the condition that if he has to go from the bed to the toilet at night (he sometimes drinks up to 3 liters at night and then of course has to get rid of it again), he wants a short way from the bed to the toilet, so he doesn't have to snake his way through the bathroom first. We actually don't really care whether you are sitting hidden or looking directly at the toilet when you come in. Also, I would prefer to have less glass to clean on the shower. And you can also realize lighting in the shower with a lamp ;)

I tend to agree more with the opinion of

How is the shower supposed to be anyway? Two glass walls next to the third wall?
I find the combination of a half-high wall with glass above too busy and high-maintenance: there will be an edge where water constantly collects.

Personally, I find privacy walls in toilets quite good as storage or spatial division, but unnecessary for hiding.
I also prefer having the window by the toilet; I rather look at the clouds than at a newspaper. And always having to turn on the light for a quick business wouldn’t please me either. For that, I’d prefer a protective nook when showering, where the artificial light bothers me less since shower time usually falls during the darker part of the day.
What are the dimensions of the room?

I can already see: 4.02 x 3.26 Will it be the main bathroom now? Will another bathroom be added upstairs? Without having made a sketch, I would swap the shower, toilet, and bathtub. Extend the planned wall to 180, the shower behind it, the bathtub in front. Then put the toilet in the bottom right corner.

We apparently have some technical errors in the forum.

Well, if you familiarize yourself a bit with bathroom design and the arrangement of sanitary furniture, and also visit and read the bathroom discussions and posts in our sanitary section here in the forum, you would know that, for example, water in a tiled shower sprays out of the floor from about 150/180 cm, so from this length onwards you can do without a glass partition. Also, since pre-wall installations have existed (80s?), furniture is no longer stuck right up against the wall or cramped together on one wall.

Many builders use T- or L-shaped partitions. Many want them desperately, but don’t even have the size in the bathroom.

Your bathroom is a nice size, so I would also use the possibilities that today’s technology makes possible without great effort.
You might not feel comfortable in a bathtub pushed into the corner without care; therefore, it should or could be staged, for example. Likewise, there are now showers other than those with the three-part glass front. A bathtub is usually built into a podium that can be used as a shelf for wellness accessories.
A somewhat contemporary chic, which is also easy to maintain, this bathroom can definitely handle ;)

The technical problem is now resolved, so I can add something again: You have a laundry chute. Of course, it would need to be integrated. Although there are no measurements, it should not be a problem to correctly include the chute during fine-tuning.
