The thing is, most of us live in the First World. So while it is nice to be able to put things in context, there are people in the world with no running water, you still have to build a place where that one day you will have to sell. You are not going to be able to put on the sale brochure "We only have one toilet but there are people in Africa with none so ignore the fact that you wish we had two toilets"
I understand the context, it is not a bad idea, but we have to adjust our expectations to where we live. I get tired of reading posts from folks who say things like "People in poverty in the US would live like kings in Africa". No, they wouldn't because they would probably live in poverty in Africa for the same reason that they live in poverty in the US (mainly lack of education, lack of training, family history of alcoholism, drug addiction, unemployment, ect...)
So build what you are comfortable with, and if that is one bathroom then go for it, but remember that you are going to be building something in Europe and not Africa and the expectations are different because one is a First World economy and the other is not.
(climbs off her soap box)
And trust me, when you are pregnant and your bladder is the size of a pea, you will want a second bathroom. We would have been in trouble without a second bathroom and I didn't have to deal with morning sickness.
