We don’t really know what is possible or what consequences various choices might have.
Then take a closer look around. Unfortunately, many newcomers don’t look beyond their own fence into other threads. My email address is posted in several places on the forum, but even more importantly, you can find in many other places what others have done (and the consequences of those actions) to guide their first steps toward their goals.

I don’t like it at all either. The program and design look better than the actual plan.

My "problem" somehow is the shape and orientation of the plot.

Why? It’s quite nice! You can create something beautiful on any plot.

Our little problem right now is that we don’t exactly know the best way to start the plan. The plot is just a bit – unusual.

Well, I once pinned a guide here. Unfortunately, the admin removed the pin over the years, so it’s hard to find again.

Where to start: 1. Without a computer! 2. Hand drawing at 1:100 scale or for plots 1:200 scale. 3. Mark the orientation N, E, S, and W.
4. First, draw a rectangle or square for the building volume, divided into 3, 6, or 9 segments. 5. Assign the rooms to these segments according to the desired orientation. 6. Then roughly position the building volume in the best location on the plot.
From there, the actual designing begins.
This is how it could look before starting the design:

First, read and understand the zoning plan. Then upload the relevant section of the plan with the accompanying texts here. If there is none, a site plan of the surrounding area will be needed instead.

I am certainly not an expert in plots or floor plans, but I would also look for inspiration in floor plans designed for two people. Off the top of my head, the house by Climbee comes to mind.

I am not either. There are several 2-person houses here. However, a design always depends first on the plot and personal preferences and needs.
