Uh... a clear YES. With that money, you could add exterior blinds to the ground floor.
This kind of thinking unnecessarily drives up the costs!

If you want, not just for smokers, to have the option to look out into the garden area from a covered spot during rain showers, why would I want to look north towards the street?

Haha, I always stand in front of the covered front door: a) it’s more interesting, b) when it rains, standing on the north side is drier, at least where we are.

then I would have liked to see suggested changes to this design that wouldn’t completely turn everything, the entire design, upside down.

But that usually isn’t possible. That’s just how planning works.

I would have appreciated having a whole mix of suggestions and ideas to choose from. Whether the TV in the opposite bedroom or the kitchen is really a problem for me, I can decide for myself and, if needed, revisit the topic later.

At a certain age, it doesn’t really matter where the TV is mounted. The entire floor gets filled with sound.

Which one exactly is that now, meaning which post number?

If you remove a 2 sqm (22 sq ft) room somewhere, it can affect the entire overall layout: sightlines, missing a few centimeters to position a dining table well, suddenly you can create rooms where it wasn’t possible before (for example, you no longer enter the toilet directly from the living room. Without the toilet, that’s no longer an issue), you have one less door and therefore more wall space and probably a shorter hallway (meaning you gain more than just the extra 2 sqm (22 sq ft) of usable space).

Long story short: yes, that can make a significant difference! That’s why information like “could be removed” is extremely important.

What makes an even bigger difference is the type of staircase. The whole floor plan depends on it.

If you now say: mini WC could be removed and the following staircase shapes are acceptable for us: x, y, z,... that makes quite a difference!

Kaho, you mirrored the covered area, which was originally designed to face south toward the garden, and turned it to the north! Why?

Did you even read the post? Your kitchen door opens right in front of the staircase! It seems like you lack the spatial awareness or are you just ignoring it? You don’t plan something like that — it will cause injuries.

You can install a roof anywhere flexibly, but you can’t change the door placement in front of the stairs afterward. And I specifically asked you about that exact covered area.
I’m starting to lose the patience to explain such basics twice.

Long story short: You can build it as shown in #145. If the TV being next to the bedroom is a problem, make the wall thicker or switch the bedroom and bathroom. Done.

I’m curious how much the groundwork will cost.

I tried it yesterday, and as a result, the bathroom became noticeably narrower because the guest toilet was removed from the main bathroom... The toilet had two functions, similar to the “Schwörerhaus Helmstorf.” The T then naturally no longer applies.
