What would you do differently in the next house construction?

They only have very few tenants - what negative experiences have you had with it?

The bathroom was freshly done before we moved in. Otherwise, you rarely get to enjoy it, true. (In relation to the entire property, I think the budget was focused too much on the bathroom ...)

The main issue is the cold. In a cabin, you are quickly surrounded by warm water vapor. In the open shower, that drifts away, it’s noticeably colder. You then compensate with a 20l-consuming rain shower so your butt doesn’t freeze off. These are nowadays also considered standard, without anyone ever having tried them beforehand ...

Then, our model here is made with glass on one side. We have "only" 12° dH water hardness, but limescale is still a tedious issue on such a glass surface. Don’t come at me with a squeegee, when the water is off, I want to get to the towel and not squeegee the glass soaking wet.

The wide drain channel is considerably more maintenance-intensive than a normal drain. It smells quite quickly because water stands over a large surface area there.

Usually, these showers are also tiled and not provided with a shower tray/basin. Therefore, particular attention must be paid to slip resistance, which runs through the entire room. This can be a limitation in choice. For example, if you use skincare products under the shower in the cold season with dry heating air, ergo dry, itchy skin, this quickly leaves a film on the tiles, making them quite slippery despite slip resistance. This is not quite as extreme with our second shower, which has a shower tray. Your hair conditioner is also an example of increased slip potential.

Last but not least, small children in the room? Horror. They run in fully clothed at any time. Even if no one is showering at the moment, but the area is wet, you get wet slippers or socks.

Edit:
Never undercut a minimum depth of 1.50m – water splashes out! We have a bath mat in front of the shower entrance... not exactly in the spirit of the invention.

I am a shower stall user and do not feel particularly old-fashioned about it
Clear glass is, in my opinion, nice for architectural photographers, but not for (self-cleaning) residential house users.

In

that is clear, but that is the case in all areas when building a house. besides, LED lighting doesn't have to be expensive. the 7m in the hallway cost me about 100 €. floor-to-ceiling windows, higher knee walls, etc. also don't come for free.

Do you mean such an LED strip? I find the spots visually very nice, but according to the architect, they cost easily 160€ each including installation (since we can't do it ourselves). For me, that price is way too high, especially if you still have to hang a lamp in some rooms because otherwise it wouldn't be lit enough.

And honestly, I don't know if in the end they won't annoy me after all?! Because so far I have no experience with spots.

We manage perfectly well both with the open walk-in shower, 1.50 deep, and with Ikea lamps without any smarthome at all. People are just that different. But we’ll treat ourselves to a beach chair for the garden. One with a small table for the drink and with sky padding in the Obelix pants design. Yes, Karsten

We have clear glass around our shower, it has a nano coating and despite hardness 20 there is no trace of limescale visible. However, it is also cleaned once a week. The huge shower together with the 45cm Rainshower is pure luxury for us and I wouldn’t want to miss it anymore.

But let's treat ourselves to a beach chair for the garden. One with a small table for the drink and with ski padding in the Obelix trousers design.

Absolutely.
