Thank you for the suggestions. We will contact the architect and inquire. Perhaps his solution will be completely different.

I’m just imagining a pipe sticking out of the wall above the front door, and every tenth visitor having bad luck.

That will be challenging with the necessary slope; I think the toilet will have to swap places with the shower.

Then you have a sewage pipe above your front door... the ceiling would have to be lowered significantly, and would you really want that? Above it? As a layperson, I would avoid bends in the main sewer pipe.
No bend is needed here, but rather 85° elbows.

I find the location of the bathroom on the upper floor borderline and don’t understand why the designer didn’t offer a more practical alternative.

The washing machine on the upper floor (does it really fit in the small room?) also needs to be drained. I would ask for an explanation of this concept before additional soffits are planned during the shell construction phase.

I also really like the entrance! Personally, I wouldn’t install a shower on the ground floor if there isn’t another room there (you only have living/dining downstairs, no guest room or similar). This shower will have to be cleaned later, but it will never be used (and costs money upfront). But that could be different for your situation...

I think on the upper floor, the bedroom and bathroom could also be swapped. The orientation wouldn’t change much, and the drainage would be easier. The children’s rooms are, of course, nice.

I also see the challenge with furnishing the living room; you simply have to try a few options (cut out your existing furniture to scale and move it around on a printed plan).

That probably wouldn't work because of the doors. It might be more feasible to swap the living area and the bathroom.

Yes, a "split-level ground floor" with a landing as the entrance area looks great and is practical. I would definitely plan it like that again.
