Let's say you are lazy af and want to design your own house.
How would you design a self-cleaning or easy to clean bathroom? Say, a bathroom that you are able to clean fully using pressure washers, window cleaning robots, UV lights, cleaning soap dispensers (like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX5AAiwpiz8&t=265s) or whatever, and then using something (a big fan maybe) to dry it quickly.

Floor sloped to middle, floor drain, and marble, granite, or some other kind of waterproof tile and grout on the floor, up the walls, and even on the ceiling. Plumb a steel line through the walls to a quick connect to plug in your pressure washer outside and run it inside to wash it all down.

Or stainless sheeted and fully welded seams.

The biggest issue with toilets is piss, it splashes even if just a little, dries and starts to smell over time. If you had a toilet for shitting and a urinal for pissing you'd need very little maintenance.

What about other parts of the bathroom, like the shower? Soap scum builds up over time

Oh man, those 1950s style bathroom-of-the-future UV disinfecting lights that briefly came back during COVID have always intrigued me, but they sound like a pain in the ass in practice

Build the bathroom out of non-porous materials and cleaning it will be a breeze

They only disinfect, they don't clean.

Just build out of non-porous materials, SS steel, glazed tile (grouted with Opus signinum or other GP mortar), granite etc

The annoying parts of cleaning are cracks crevices and porous surfaces

Concrete floor with a floor drain. Sealed with epoxy. Pic related for fixtures.

Every surface is one solid slab of marble. Apply a peelable clear film on each surface. Once a week peel off old film and apply new one.

Any tips to make my flat easier to clean generally? I spent a few days fixing my cable management, that helped but ideally I would like most things to take as little time as possible. I already have a robot vacuum and mop.

Have less stuff. Put stuff in closed storage spaces so less dusting is needed. Make it easy to move furniture around so you can clean underneath/behind. Always consider how much effort is needed to clean something if you want to buy something new. Have the right cleaning agent for each job. Have someone else do the cleaning.
