I would select stationary panels to go between each window and at the ends of the windows and depend on something else for privacy and climate control. Or you could do as JMittman so nicely suggested and use roman shades on each window, mounting them just below the ceiling. Plantation shutters could also be used with stationary panels. You would probably get the best cold weather control with draperies that close over all the windows, but you do not have a lot of space between some of your windows, so you should discuss with your local drapery person how much glass would have to be covered with operable draperies.

We built a pool exactly the same, however we didnt use laminated glass but a monolithic piece of 80mm thick Plexiglass 3mx2m from Germany. This reduced the overall cost of the pool considerably. Pool was fantastic and doubled as a water feature when not in use. Incorporating LED lighting allowed the pool to take on the mood of the night. The only downside we found with the pool was that after heaving swimming and sunscreen the waterline of the Plexiglass would need a clean. Other than that it gained lots of comments and was even used for photo shoots and promo work.

The issue is the water needs to be evaporated out, otherwise you are going to grow mould in the gyprock behind the splashback. Do not put glass over the top and for the love of god do NOT employ the person who suggested it. They sound incompetent. The splashback needs to come off and be redone. The gyprock needs to be fully dried or replaced.

painted glass will be a perfect solution for your dilemma...my parents couldn't afford a solid bathroom door and solved the problem by painting a glass door with a dainty pattern by dabbing the brush rather than using sweeping strokes...paint lasted for many years and never needed redoing and i think a simple couple of coats to cover any missed spots will give an excellent result without any extra preparation than the usual wash and dry the surface and protect against drips
