Assuming the bathroom is upstairs and the inside of your house is at a higher temperature than the outdoors: open the bathroom window and one or more downstairs windows on the same side of the house wide; and close all other upstairs windows, and all downstairs windows on the opposite side of the house. Buoyancy forces will drive airflow in the right direction to keep the smell out of the rest of the house.

As a Mechanical Engineer, it is surprisingly satisfying to design a ventilation system that doesn't need any ventilation equipment.

This is part of a natural ventilation system, with weatherproof security louvres backed with automatic Fire and Smoke Dampers.

The louvres allow outside air to come in during the summer to keep the space cool. During the winter the fire dampers are closed to stop too much cold air coming in and causing a condensation problem.

If the fire alarm goes off, the fire dampers automatically shut to stop fire escaping from the building.
