Layout Planning: Bathroom Shower

Hello everyone,
I'm bringing the thread back up after a long time and providing the updated floor plans, this time with measurements.
We have found a solution for the bathroom, I would appreciate feedback and of course also suggestions for changes.

I don't think it's that bad at all, but a 1.7m bathtub would never, ever come into a new building. We have the same length now and I always have to decide, either upper body in the water or legs. Much too short and I am "only" 178cm tall, my husband at 195cm looks like he's sitting in a tub for children....

I have no idea what it is about.

Well then, I’ll give you a little nudge, even though I (as explained at the beginning) have refrained from writing all the details in this exceptional case. I needed a tip for the bathroom and didn’t want to withhold our current solution from you, which we found through a few pictures on Instagram. The following data would not have been necessary for this:

- Plot size 825 m2
- Slope location (from below: entrance basement, ground floor to street / entrance bedroom / kitchen)
- Site coverage ratio = 206 m2
- Floor area ratio = 330 m2
- Building window (see attachment)
- Roof shape = gable roof
- Floors = basement, ground floor, 1st upper floor --> 2 full floors permitted
- Persons = 4 persons (31, 30, 3, 1)
- Room requirements = 2 basement (hobby/office) rooms, 2 children’s rooms, 1 guest room
- open kitchen
- dining places 8-10
- fireplace = yes
- no balcony, no roof terrace
- large garage
- additional wishes: pantry, dressing room, small children’s bathroom attic
- planning was done by the architect
- price = €610,000 (move-in ready, with garage, without land and outdoor facilities) A few surcharges will still be added (built-in spotlights throughout the house, attic / living area air conditioning, various little things. Therefore final at €650,000 at the limit).
- price limit house only = €650,000. Total (without land) = €750,000*
*Note: €100,000 for terrace, courtyard, slope stabilization / leveling, pool
- heating technology: air-to-water heat pump
- waiver not possible (what is currently in the plans must be included)
- draft was developed in cooperation with the architect. It took about 6 months until we had a result desirable for us. Opinions/ideas from prefab house providers were also incorporated, as well as our own ideas before the offers began, etc. Our current living situation was of course also included here.

The fundamental question (see post no. 1) was how we can realize the desired shower. I would also be grateful if the issue with the bedroom would be addressed again. We currently have a very small bedroom, where your gaze immediately falls on the bed as soon as you enter the room. Therefore, I do not quite understand the criticism. More context is welcome, and of course also the appropriate proposed solution.

Best regards

It is not about the view of the bed when you enter, but rather that you are lying in bed with your head next to the door. And that is always much more uncomfortable than lying in bed and looking towards the door.
Therefore, the headboard of the bed should be to the left according to the plan or even down according to the plan, and then on the wall with the headboard either no window or two rather narrow windows to the right and left of the bed. Down according to the plan also has the advantage that there is really enough space on both sides of the bed. To the left according to the plan there could also be a wider window. Preferably with at least 60/70 cm distance from the partition wall to the dressing area.
If there is a bathtub, I would plan more space there, and make the shower a bit shorter. The passage at the washbasin seems very narrow.
I would swap the toilet and closet storage and not put a large partition wall in between.
I would adjust the sill height above the bathtub. 150 cm is lousy; if there is already a window at the bathtub, then maybe even so that you can look out of the bathtub. The position is annoying for window cleaning either way.

Looks cramped to me. This narrow spot is really poor:



Also, you enter the bathroom and end up in the bathtub. To avoid this, you have to make almost a 180° turn and squeeze through the narrow spot. Room dimensions are not listed here either. Or can anyone redraw the room based on the parapet height and the bathtub width?

The bed is completely unacceptable like this. I hope you also put the power outlets on the other side so you can move it once you see it and realize.

Also, I would have the living room door open the other way - just by the way.
