Thanks for the input @ypg 🙂
The access to the bathroom on the upper floor is non-negotiable – my wife wants direct access... I’ll experiment a bit with that tomorrow.
In the meantime, I have already made some changes to the ground floor:
The guest room is now located in the northeast corner. The toilet now has a "hidden" entrance. I just noticed I forgot to include a window there...
The kitchen is now open.
The "TV corner" is now in the southwest corner. However, I’m concerned it might feel quite cramped there.

@sysrun80 ... if it’s not possible to orient the plans to north, then having a north arrow on each sketch would be quite useful ... that way the situation can be understood much more quickly.
Your plan includes a dead-end hallway, which wasn’t necessary at all in Yvonne’s plan, for example. On the upper floor in Yvonne’s design, there is still room to adjust—especially by changing the direction of the staircase (stairs leading up from the living area)—you could convert the entire right-hand side of Yvonne’s upper floor into a private suite.
Is there a reason why you want to drive into the garage from the side like that? Essentially backing out around a corner onto the street?

Is there a reason why you want to drive into the garage from the side like that? So basically reversing around the corner onto the street?What do you mean by rotating the staircase direction? Currently, the stairs go up from the living area.The options for driveway access are unfortunately quite limited. We’re already reversing onto the street now. That’s not a problem since the street is a dead-end.
Too little information. Is access from the north via the main road also possible? If so, why do you definitely want to park on the west side? What are the approximate dimensions of the plot? What are the exact dimensions of the building envelope? Are garages allowed outside the building envelope? What setback from the street is required for garages? "Fits" is too vague for the maximum height. What floor-to-ceiling heights are planned? The question in #33 remains unanswered so far.
Here is a site plan showing the current situation.
Is access from the north via the main street also possible?
No
What are the approximate dimensions of the plot?
See plan
Are garages allowed outside the building envelope?
Regarding the building envelope, I only have the information: minimum 3 meters (10 feet) distance, and from a total building height of 6 meters (20 feet) upwards, always 50%. For example, if the house is 7 meters (23 feet) high, then 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) distance applies.
What setback from the street is required for garages?
3 meters (10 feet)
What floor heights are planned?
Ground floor rough height 2.75 meters (9 feet), upper floor knee wall height 2.00 meters (6.5 feet). Roof pitch 25 degrees.
Question in #33 remains unanswered: "Why does the guest have to be downstairs?"
Because "upstairs" is meant to be private.
