Looking for ideas for bathroom layout

Hello house-building forum,

first of all: this is about an apartment, not a house! Since I couldn't find a condominium forum, I hope I am allowed to turn to you anyway!

I have the problem that I have to decide this week how we want the bathroom. The shell construction is done, the interior walls are (mostly) still freely definable.

Everything is settled so far, only the bathroom is causing us headaches. We have two options, see attachments. It is important that the length of 2.72m and the width of 3m are fixed. So in the design with the toilet corner the walls A and B.

The annoying thing is actually the window: it is 1.51m (!) wide and has a sash, i.e. two opening options (about 1.10m and 40cm), as well as a sill height of 1.43m. I don't have the height of the window at hand at the moment, but it should be about 60cm. I will go there again this week and measure it.

We do not want a bathtub, but a shower that is as large as possible and flush with the floor. Below (where the toilet bowl is) is the guest bathroom adjoining. The shower in the main bathroom should not be too big, i.e. not take up unnecessary space.

Overall, we need a washbasin (width 1.60m), the toilet bowl, the shower as well as a cabinet for towels and other small items.

Now the question(s):
- Which floor plan is, in your experience, better/more practical?
- Does a shower measuring 1.80m long and 1m wide make sense, or is that "too much"...? The gray shaded area is supposed to represent the shower measuring 1.80x1m.
- What ideas do you have about what else could be implemented or what could be done better?

Please don't pay too much attention to the wrong details in the floor plan (such as the washbasins turned the wrong way), a lot went wrong when changing the floor plan, and I didn't have the energy to correct everything properly again.

Thank you very much in advance!!

Hello, of course you are also completely right here with your apartment :) Which room should be considered now? With or without toilet niche? And which room width applies? Two different ones are given, plus your 3 meters...

Hi,

great, I'm happy about that! :-)

I just noticed that the pictures were rotated - actually, both should have been uploaded at the same angle.

So the wall from the door towards the window will be 2.72 m long, I can't change that. However, I can change the parallel wall (for example, I can put the toilet niche there). The wall by the window cannot be changed; it remains 3 m as it is, or theoretically it could be changed, but then at the expense of the bedroom.

So, 272x300 are the dimensions of the bathroom drawn in the architect's proposal.

If we move the toilet niche, this will be at the expense of the storage room, as well as a little bit at the expense of the guest bathroom (but this is negligible).

Ideally, we would like to fit a large shower, as well as a 160 cm washbasin and toilet properly into the floor plan without a niche.

We have been thinking back and forth for days, drawing and calculating, but eventually the head is full, so you have no new ideas, or the ideas keep repeating themselves.

Is the door movable?

Unfortunately not.

Is the door movable?

I ask because it is in different positions on both plans.
Here is a rough sketch


Why do you need 2 oversized sinks? They take up way too much space for nothing; instead, shelf space would be useful.
