Hello,
I have attached two layout options and would appreciate any alternative suggestions or advice. As often recommended here, I’ve cut out and placed the furniture. It turned out that between the bed and the wardrobe in the niche, there would only be a passage of about 50cm (20 inches). The current wardrobe is 55cm (22 inches) deep, and with the door open, it adds approximately another 45cm (18 inches).
One idea is to shift the bathroom wall slightly into the bathroom, which would align the wall between the office and the guest room. This would also make the passage between the bed and the wardrobe a bit wider.
In the other option, the wardrobe would be positioned behind the door, with the wall moved 10cm (4 inches) into the office to the right. However, the wardrobe height of almost exactly 2 meters (6 ft 7 in) extends beyond the 2-meter (6 ft 7 in) line. This would mean extending the wall on the narrow side of the wardrobe (toward the hallway) or the entire wall between the bedroom and the office slightly toward the stairs, so that the wardrobe fits within the 2-meter (6 ft 7 in) zone.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Unfortunately, the bed is too long for your bedroom both with and without the wardrobe, if it is actually placed as shown (is the knee wall boxed in?). Regardless of where the wardrobe is positioned, the door is set too far forward, creating a narrow 50 cm (20 inches) corner where you would have to squeeze through. Therefore, the first consideration should be whether to move or narrow the hallway. This immediately raises the question of whether there might be some flexibility with the staircase.
If the wardrobe is really only 180 cm (71 inches) wide and is to remain that size, the solution with the shower will immediately stand out and cause conflicts. I would place wardrobes in both locations you mentioned. The one under the sloped ceiling could, for example, be a narrower unit plus a sideboard.

With the ground floor plan and exact measurements, it would be possible to see if this works. But as it stands, it’s only a sketch.

wow.. such a quick idea.
So you gave up the hallway/corridor between the stairs and the bathroom in favor of a larger bathroom? You rotated the shower, pulled the half wall between the bathroom and bedroom further into the bathroom to deepen the existing recess and thus increase the distance between the bed and the wardrobe? Is that correct?
Thanks!!

@kaho674 ... great.
Kaho also moved the wall with the doors to the bedroom and guest room further down according to the plan.
And if you plan it carefully, it might be necessary to make the planned floor opening for the staircase slightly narrower so that a proper bathroom door fits and the niche in the bedroom can still accommodate the 180 cm (70.9 inches) closet after construction.

The staircase to the attic could also be rotated 90 degrees, with access from the right side.
It is a bit unfortunate that the hallway would be lost, where the intention was to install a roof window.
The knee wall is 1m (the measurement is probably from the unfinished floor level, right?).
The bathroom wall would then extend almost up to the stair opening, so when looking up from the stairs, you would only see a wall instead of the railing. That might take some getting used to. Alternatively, you could keep the bathrooms as in the original plan and move them closer to the 2m line.
