Figure B1 with only 550mm between the vanity and bath would be extremely tight. B2 with an increased room width to 2100mm allows for an 850mm space plus the shower is set back further from the door jamb allowing for a full width architrave to be installed.
B3 with the vanity rotated opens up the floor space from the doorway.
