Well, 45° angles in floor plans are as typical for the 1980s as petticoats are for the 1950s. In the mid-80s, the trend in the construction industry changed, and with interlocking rectangular floor plans, the prefabricated house sector set a fashionable example that the solid masonry builders followed for the first time.

You can handle that too—for example, take a look here @Oakland: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/dreieckiges-Grundstück-samt-eiche-grundriss-mit-l-form.29277/ or https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/grundstuecksplanung-fuer-ein-dreieckiges-Grundstück.37380/
However: a preliminary building inquiry to clarify whether a flat roof is allowed comes FOUR STEPS BEFORE discussing flush-mounted cisterns!!! Is the architect perhaps an “artist”?

I think he is somewhat artistically inclined, while we are more pragmatic. So it’s demanding for both sides… We do have a preliminary inquiry about the fundamental buildability due to the location in an open countryside zone. Today, I would ask the question more cleverly. You learn as you go…

Attached are the complete ground floor and upper floor plans for illustration.

Your conclusion does not match your reasoning – which clearly argues in favor of wastewater disposal close to the source.

Not really? My last visit was probably too long ago for me to remember. In any case, the area around my sink tends to be messy – both before and after. And I would prefer to keep that out of sight. My cooking area is relatively tidy.

So it’s exhausting for both parties....

What was your selection criteria? And what material is the house going to be built from? A 20cm (8 inches) wall plus 20cm (8 inches) of external thermal insulation composite system (ETICS) is quite an unusual combination, apparently not brick: calcium silicate blocks, aerated concrete, or even concrete?

You visit yourself, and even rarely? ? ?

I told you – very charming. However, I (selfishly) wouldn’t be so keen on the parents sharing the small guest toilet while the kids have the wellness area. Also, the small desk area with an open space above (that’s how I interpret it on the upper floor) doesn’t seem ideal for intensive home office use (though it looks like there is a basement as well).

At least you are kid-friendly 😉 Can you move the window down in child 2’s room to create a closet niche above?

And since your architect doesn’t seem very familiar with bathrooms: the bathroom located above the kitchen should be thoroughly soundproofed (drain pipes, etc.).

Are those stairs outside leading to the entrance?

When cooking, I keep most of what I need within reach around the cooktop (I’m a meticulous preparer because otherwise the repetition of tasks overwhelms me), and the sink area tends to gather the less pleasant stuff (peelings, dirty cutting boards/dishes/pots, etc.).

But the "dirt collection" contradicts the type of "meticulous preparer" ... such a person would have already cleaned up again by then. And in the end, after cooking, the area around the cooktop usually looks the messiest, because that’s where you’ve just been plating food, and the prep spoons and small plates are still lying around, etc. 😉 😉

Most of the time is spent on preparing rather than cooking. This way, you’re less often facing away from family and guests.

@11ant You’re persistent 🙂 I was referring to this statement. I’m not turning my back to guests because I prepare AHEAD of time. Otherwise, I get stressed. When cooking, I’m then the chatterbox, oriented toward the dining table to chat.
