Why is the design as it is now?

Zoning plan requires 2 full floors, semi-detached house, roof type and pitch specified

What is the most important / fundamental question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?

How to build more compactly given:
Floors must be separable (multigenerational house)
Utility room on the ground floor with garden access must remain
Natural light in all rooms on the ground floor

The picture of the plot is not oriented to north, right? According to the site plan images, the driveway is from the east? Then the south side is the shared wall with the other semi-detached house? Is that correct?

Yes, all correctly described.

Unfortunately, the room layout doesn’t work for me on any floor.

The concept of retiring to the ground floor is already a declining trend. Relax your requirements by avoiding this complication.

Well, whether this is a declining trend or not – we want to implement it this way for various reasons.

@ myrna_loy – I can't really make much sense of your comment. Whether the layout works for you personally or not wasn’t my question.

I would appreciate suggestions on how to make it a bit more space-efficient.
