Shower on podium and pull-out drawer

Thank you for the information. Unfortunately, we cannot plan the room differently because the ceiling height in the rest of the bathroom is only about 2.10m and I alone am already 198cm tall – so there won't be a comfortable shower height. The shower can only be placed there. Well, I'll just keep thinking about it.

What is that object behind the door? Sometimes you can also build a cabinet (with breakthrough) into the adjacent room, so that in the bathroom you would only have the flush wall opening of it. Perhaps that would create the space behind the door with the flat thing. Open shelves might be conceivable there, so that no little doors are in the way.

That is a radiator :-)

I would like to know if it is possible to build the shower on a pedestal about 60cm high (so accessible via two steps) and if a drawer can be integrated as storage space under the pedestal? And how one would best approach something like this.

It works if the space in front of the shower allows a kind of offset of the steps; no problem in terms of drainage. Talk to your drywall builder; he knows what to do. Don't let anyone talk you out of it; with a sauna towel (20/25 x 60 cm) on the stairs you won't slip ;) Greetings from the Rhineland

To the left of the sink fits a tall cabinet. So where the drawer is currently drawn. Alternatively, swap the shower and bathtub, etc. There are definitely options to accommodate everything elegantly including storage space.

I don't see that as a stumbling block/obstacle at all.

You can try that in the swimming pool or wellness area if there are stairs. Possibly also shallow pools with a step at the entrance (baby pool ...). The trend has long been towards floor-level showers. I would never, ever build a stair in front of the shower.

Can you add a section? Where does the light shaft begin, how far does the 2.10 m ceiling extend? Could you possibly hit your head? Or would there be room for a spacious platform on the other hand?

In my opinion, the benefit, i.e. the drawer, is overrated. It doesn't yield enough to justify the effort of the stairs. And if you really get older (and frailer, it happens, I know such cases), then both the stairs and the drawer are no longer usable.
