We have a slightly larger bathroom (2.44 x 3.40 = 8.85 sqm) and a similar layout as the building expert suggested:



However, we do not have a privacy screen, which in my opinion makes the room feel smaller.

Since the weekend, we have also been able to walk through our house (it was installed on Thursday) and we are very satisfied with the layout. The shower measures 90x120 m and is used as a walk-in shower (level with the floor).

Willingness to compromise ... yes, I’ve heard that many times before. I already have to make so many compromises.
What advantage does a walk-in shower have? It also takes up space and constantly folding the glass in and out... really doesn’t have to be.

Our interior walls are made of Poroton. I think a drywall installer can surely work precisely. But I don’t know.

Our planner thinks it will fit, but I’m not sure about that.

How much wider would the bathroom need to be?

About 1.2 cm of cement plaster will be applied, so about 2.5 - 3 cm for both walls.
The shower tray and bathtub will be placed directly against the wall and sealed or waterproofed with a tub sealing tape.
The tiles only start from the top edge of the shower tray, right? So these don’t count, or am I seeing that wrong?

276 cm - 3 cm - 90 cm - 80 = 103 cm.

The door with frame is exactly 96 cm, so you have exactly 6 cm leeway LOL and that’s supposed to work well?

Not what you think now ;) We simply have more space in a small room. The children can, for example, just take off their clothes in the evening and leave them lying around. It is also more comfortable when more than one person is in the bathroom (drying off before the shower, blow-drying, putting on makeup, etc.). Showering together is also no problem (washing the kids - our "big" two little ones are only 5). I don't need a palace, but I would like to have a little room to move around. But that is also a question of philosophy or family size.

Cost/benefit sliding door: Gain: 1 perceived sqm. Cost 1 sqm living space = approx. 1500 €. Cost sliding door: approx. 300? with self-installation. But well, you don't like them...

Still consider that there are only two of you, maybe three eventually. That size bathroom is enough... bigger is of course nicer, but one has to accept some limitations ;) And I see it like Jaydee: the privacy screen also visually takes up some space, and for a small family you don't necessarily need one (whoever feels shy can use the guest toilet ;))

Corner bathtub does take up extra space. I wouldn't do it.
