I am contemplating building a small ensuite bathroom, the width of a
700mm shower tray and 2.1m long. This would mean 3 areas of 700*700 for
a shower tray, standing and a toilet. Then a wall mounted small basin.

Does this sound feasible?

If you've ever been in a pleasure boat loo/shower room you'll realise
that this is feasible!!

Seems about the size of the ensuite on our cruiseship recently.
Outward opening door basin straight ahead, shower to one side, wc
other side.
This one was a "module" so walls and floors all sealed together.

Sounds very much like a bathroom in a typical budget London hotel. They work
provided you are not "large".

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember lid saying
something like:

Sounds about the size of en-suites in modern shoebox houses.

Yes if the shower is one end, WC the other, and small wall mount basin
and outward opening door in the middle. You need to think about where
the pipework is going, especially WC waste and shower waste which needs
an adequate fall.

You could also consider a wet room, which may make other layouts possible.

If space is tight you can put the sink on top of the cistern, draining
directly into it to save water. If its even tighter you could then put
the loo in/on the shower tray, so that you sit on it while showering,
and the shower fills the cistern saving even more water

Dirty water draining into the toilet cistern? Doesn't sound very good
to me?

Do you often drink from your toilet?

Dispense with it altogether and just **** in the shower. Save No 2s for
the main bathroom or toilet break at work.

Ok for blokes, but the ladies often find it a challenge, though in my
college rooms, top floor and three flights from the toilet, one GF
managed the basin all right. I used it all the time. My erstwhile friend
used to go on the roof and target passing cyclists.

This is common in Japan, don't know why you don't see it over here.
Cistern lid is a basin, with a tap on top that starts automatically when
you flush.

Or just enlarge the shower drain hole and use a commode-style chair.
Plenty of Asian toilets of the hole-inna-plank variety use the
principle.

Ah, the joys of student life. It's funny how ****ing in the sink loses
its appeal when it's your own place.
