As @ypg already suggested, you sketch it out, draw the 3- and 5-meter (10 and 16 feet) lines, and then see what fits best. Here are some ideas with the shortest possible routes and a nice south-facing orientation of the house (1: larger footprint with an integrated granny flat or office, 2: with a granny flat). Due to setback requirements, I would probably park only one car in a designated space and rather install a parking heater. 😉
Placing the house toward the top of the plot does create a nice southwest garden, but the distances will be quite long:
I would probably plan a standard house with one office and one combined office/guest room. On the ground floor, there would be a guest bathroom with a shower. It might also be possible to place the guest room on the ground floor and move the technical room upstairs. However, if resale value is a concern, it would be better to have the two offices/guest rooms, also usable as children's rooms, upstairs.

Here is a section of the plan. Unfortunately, this is the only quality I received from the city...
The plan is oriented to the north. The plot is centered. A 5-meter (16 feet) setback must be maintained from the roads.
The road north of the plot is not a main road like you would find in a large city.
The road leading southeast is a dead-end street.

Many thanks again to everyone for the tips 🙂
The general contractor has put our latest plans on paper. The window positions and sizes will still be partially changed!

Upper Floor
I have attached exterior views as well.

hm...
I quickly skimmed through the thread because I had missed the access situation earlier...
One sentence keeps stuck in my head: "...shielding as much as possible from the apartment buildings..."
Looking at the design, I get the feeling that you have adopted this as your life motto.
It’s only a 2D plan, but you can pretty clearly see what’s driving you 😉
Personally, I think there’s too little "sun exposure." I wouldn’t put a utility room, guest toilet, or guest room in the best spot available in the house.
I would use hedges to create screening, but holding on to it so rigidly... I mean: why did you buy the plot?
Is it an unattractive area across the street? Are those 10-story buildings?
You still have 25 years to work and should somehow be able to feel the afternoon sun inside the house. Or did I also miss the part where you said you don’t like sun?
