We would like to plan so that everything we need for daily life is already available on one level.

That makes sense. We don’t fully follow this, due to the mentioned lake view and the option to install a stairlift later. Personally, I wouldn’t plan a separate room for each use on the upper floor, but I would have pipes and connections installed inside the walls during construction, so a separate apartment could be created later. I think one room can serve as a guest room, office, hobby room, or TV room—I would be fine with just one. Also, I wouldn’t need two extra rooms for children who only visit occasionally. I mostly try to think by this principle: what is frequent and what is rare, which usually—but not always—guides the decision. Keeping rooms unused “just in case” doesn’t make sense to me because it takes away space for my own living; I like to live spaciously. Wife downstairs visiting—me watching TV upstairs, wife annoyed with me—upstairs in the hobby room or I’m in the garden house.
We think similarly, but we’re not completely consistent either; such an apartment could easily be accessed via an outside staircase, so it’s possible. Or… who knows, maybe one moves upstairs and a child or someone else lives separately downstairs.
So I already imagine how a separate living situation could work without disturbing each other; still, everything is subordinated to my current life as I like it today.
If the case arises that the upper floor apartment is needed, it must be possible to create a fully separate apartment with just a few measures, including kitchen connections, wastewater, TV, telephone, staircase, separate heating room, separate water meters, electricity meters, etc. This isn’t free but still achievable beforehand with manageable costs.

And yes, I can take a lot of criticism and respond accordingly. Don’t worry.

....I never doubted that and I’m also experienced in handling storms—

If the situation arises that the upper floor apartment is needed, it must be possible with just a few measures to close it off and create an independent, fully separate apartment upstairs, including kitchen connections, wastewater, TV, telephone, staircase, separate heating system, separate water meters, electricity meters, etc. This is not free of charge but can still be realized beforehand with manageable costs.

…I never doubted that myself and I’m personally weather-tested—

And now imagine you want to have a floor plan evaluated here with a post like this... first question: what do you actually want? Second: first get clear about your requirements. Third as a statement: anyone who is still so unclear about their life situation should not even be building in the first place.

NO – and this is again your incorrect conclusion –
NOW it is clear again that it will NOT be a two-family house but a house for two people wanting to live on one floor, occasionally have visitors, and partially plan for their own older age; optionally 1-2 rooms and a shower/WC on the upper floor, which could possibly be separated.
If you stick to this, it’s no longer quite as difficult–

What is your budget for the construction including additional building costs?
