The sitting recess bit was just me realising there would be a big empty box covered in tiles otherwise. Better to have a seat / shampoo shelf, should make showering feel a bit more spacious too. Could shift the bath in, but then we’d end up with a shelf at the other end, making entry a bit harder for the same screen gap. Haven’t looked into extra long baths yet.
Controls reachable from dry is a good one, probs will do that. Screen will be fixed so makes sense.
Think we’re ok with minimal storage. No kids and no plans to. The basin is a nice enamel steel Alape job so good to keep it minimal and on show. Easy enough to make a cabinet later though, full of TP.

Would boxing out the bath end and adding shower controls/pipe runs there not give you more floor space than boxing the wall to the side of the bath out 10cm for pipe given its already dead space?
If not then recessed cubbys all along that end might be more functional/better looking than a seat and a shelf?

side of the basin? in a fancy recessed cubby built into the side of the tub? (likely crap ergonomics as too low). Disappointing you haven't stuck the loo opposite the doorway for those door-open eye–contact dominance shits.*
Why is the tub not flush with the shower end? or is the tiled recess for classy sit-down showers?
Have you considered moving the taps further towards the towel-rail end so you can set shower temp without having to get into the tub/behind the screen?
I'd be tempted to put a cabinet under the basin for extra storage – when I did ours we had a recessed cupboard above the cistern (toilet roll, a few towels (rolled up, held in place vertically by a lovely brass rod), bath toiletries), recessed cab above the basin (daily stuff) and two drawers underneath (can't even remember what went into there) and once idiot child #1 came along we hit capacity disappointingly quickly. If you can live with the one cupboard I envy your monastic lifestyle.
*(we have this, I hate it. With the door open I can see both through the landing window across to next door AND down the stairs through to our front door.)
