But anyway: Don’t you have an architect who can advise you on the arrangement of the bathrooms or show you how it can be done better?
We solved it exactly the same way and it’s not a problem at all. Where do you have concerns?
Can you hear the drain in the living room when someone upstairs uses the toilet?

Do you perhaps have a picture of your fireplace? Can you hear the drain in the living room when someone is using the toilet upstairs?
