Renovation of a two-family house from 1936 experiences?

What are the exact dimensions of the shower? The entrance and also the size look a bit tiny on the plan. I don’t go below 66cm for entrances and below 90x90cm for showers. In the main bathroom, I would also inquire about the dimensions of the shower and the tub.

The entrance is 76 wide, the shower 90x80 – it could be pushed 10cm further into the office. But I don’t know if that’s really necessary. Our current shower is only 60cm wide and is only cramped because it’s a shower tray that narrows at the bottom. No real problem around the top, so 80cm will probably seem very spacious to us.

In the main bathroom, the shower is 90x90 and the tub is 1.50m long – too short? We are 177cm and 165cm tall and rather slim/normal (that might still change over the years :P)

Of course, that is very individual, but if it were mine, I would expand the shower to 90x90 and not make the window in the study floor-to-ceiling, so that a sideboard can stand in the cutout next to it.

That is already a very small bathtub. The usual length is around 1.80m. The problem with such makeshift solutions is often that you never use them because it would simply be uncomfortable.

Do you have a good idea how to fit a longer one? Realistically, the bathroom can only be extended to the left side of the plan, roughly like this:



But with a 180cm bathtub length, there would only be 50cm of space to the toilet. Currently, in our tiny bathroom we have 45cm to the wall and that is already rather uncomfortably tight. How else could it be changed/rearranged? The sink in here is currently 1m wide – we could definitely save some space there because we don’t really need two faucets and 70cm width would also do.

I'm simply missing important measurements here - especially the door distances. Can they still be adjusted? On the original plan, everything looks very tight, and here the door to the storage room is, in my opinion, rather generously shifted towards the left side of the plan. Where does the staircase end exactly? Why is the room on the ground floor 5.31m long and the room directly above it on the upper floor 5.77m? The wall above isn't that much thinner, or is it? Or is there a bend in the chimney? And where is the window exactly?

Without measurements, it remains a guessing game. I would think along these lines:

I have noted the measurements. The red wall will be rebuilt and is therefore freely placeable. The door on the right side of the plan currently exists, the door on the left side of the plan is currently just an idea and could be moved. I would set the boundary on the window side to the left of the plan at the window, as we want to use the existing lintels etc. where possible.

I would have to check exactly where the staircase in the house ends, but the 1.35 m seems about right. The currently planned bathroom window is 1.2 m wide.
