My tiny bathroom measures only 190cm x 155cm and comprises a shower

clean, smart and modern design and maximise space, particularly the
space in which to shower.

Anyone got any great ideas or have designed such a small space before?

Basin on top of cistern, if the floor layout can work with it. Common
in Japan.

How does that work, then? Is the cistern remote from the pan?
If so, would it not be as well to have the cistern above head height
instead, like in the good old days when you had a pull handle on the
end of a chain? Why ever were they done away with?
