Hey,
we bought a plot last week that will be developed with a semi-detached house. Our building partner owned the land, and we are working on the planning together. (We agreed on a general contractor, etc.)
We have now received the first architect’s draft, but we are not completely satisfied with it. Of course, we have looked at what feels like a thousand floor plans and would like to be better prepared for the next meeting.
Maybe someone here has a great idea.
Here is our “self-disclosure”

Does it make sense to recreate our floor plans with a software and upload them again online? No, just upload them exactly as the ground floor and a section of the zoning plan (or mention it without a link, e.g., "Dingsdorf No. 123 Im kühlen Grunde"). They should even remain here then.

Well, no offense intended, it’s a standard draft without any recognizable copyrights. Also, it’s not a church, town hall, or a grand palace – so, if someone wanted to, they could. P.S.: If the design had a significant level of creative depth it would relate to the design itself and would not prevent reproducing a copy of it. However, such reproductions regularly omit important details (less affecting the creative depth and more the ability of viewers to identify tricky problem areas). That’s why it is unnecessary, useless, and harmful to understanding.
These copyright notices are intended only to clarify to customers the illegality of having a house built based on plans borrowed from company A by company B.

It’s also important to include the plot of land with its orientation and access road.
Are you planning semi-detached houses for the outside?
Thank you for your responses.
We will "rebuild" the whole thing and hope to receive some new suggestions.
We understand that this is a standard design, but we are sure to get some helpful tips here.
At this point, we are not concerned about differences of 10cm (4 inches).
I had actually included the orientation in the image. You enter the house from the east, and the street runs to the east of the house as well.
We do not plan to build a semi-detached house externally; our building partner’s plot is larger, and their house will also be wider.
The length of the two halves is the same, so nothing is offset, and neither is the roof.

It should look roughly like this, at least the upper floor.
I made some changes to the ground floor in the hope that it works out. In the guest bathroom, there is a technical shaft (for HVAC) leading up to the attic.
