Planning of a captain's gable house on a corner plot

Do you think the toilet is badly placed because of its appearance?

You just have to walk around the door once. It’s always in the way because you have to open it fully, otherwise you’ll run into the sink. And if someone comes in while you’re sitting on the toilet, they’ll hit you in the face with the handle... It’s a really narrow spot there – if you missed a step and are using crutches, you can’t get around at all. Who plans something like that? The thought of having the toilet like that in my place would trigger a constant stressful feeling while sitting there, thinking someone could burst in powerfully at any moment and hit me somewhere, e.g. children.

Do you find the toilet poorly placed because of its appearance?

The toilet is immediately next to the door. In my opinion, that always creates a bad feeling. Since the planner knows this, they cheated and had the door swing the wrong way. But that doesn’t make it any better. When you open the door, you walk into the wall instead of the room. Only when you open the door more than 90° can you actually enter. Someone coming into the bathroom hits the throne occupant with the door on the side. Apart from that, where is the toilet pipe supposed to connect on the ground floor? Draw that in! This is never the work of an architect, but some backyard bungler. I don’t understand your insistence on this botched job.

Here is another one with captain to the street and dormer for K2:

The toilet right next to the door I don't find so terrible (I have that in my small bathroom too), but this door that opens completely the wrong way according to feel and room layout really makes you cringe.

Oh dear, we need to let that sink in first.

Thank you very much for the comments and the new examples!

I cannot yet say why and whether we will continue to stick to the previous drafts.

Of course, I would have preferred to hear that everything is fine, but I really thank you for the honest feedback. We will clarify the matter with the wastewater in the short term.

Because we were skeptical about the bathroom, we had it planned and are actually satisfied.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a fan of kids’ bathrooms, would hardly ever suggest one, not here either. But it’s surely not your wish to have 3 small children brush their teeth behind the bathroom door in front of the washbasin and thus block the whole bathroom? You don’t really have a proper routine except for one that you actually wouldn’t want – namely that everyone only feels comfortable alone with the door locked because either upon entering the bathroom you have to move away from the washbasin so another person can come in at all or can use the toilet in peace. Is there actually a similar term for toilet use like food jealousy, where everyone always does everything quickly because they are afraid it might be eaten away from them? Does that cause irritable bowel syndrome? You don’t have to reinvent the house, nor the purpose of a staircase or hallway. You can discuss and question many things. But eventually everything has been said. As far as I’m concerned, build however you like, but then don’t ask. You want to use the freezer room as an entrance anyway, so do that. What’s the point of then having the elaborate covered entrance? But then just play it through. With laundry washed there and you with muddy feet. Your 2-3 jackets per season amount to how many on the coat rack? Or in the hallway niche? As a builder, you should simply look at why and how things turn out as they do. If a problem disappears, then you don’t have to plan around the problem more than when it still exists.
