I don't find that too bad.

But I didn’t have a better idea for that.

That’s why you have professionals plan everything. Especially considering the impractical idea of using a single-family house as a two-family dwelling.

I don’t quite understand the floor plans either. What is what?
I don’t like the orientation of the rooms, and yes, you can tell it’s neither fish nor fowl. Single-family house or apartment? Neither really fits.

Are you officially allowed to park on the street?

I don’t understand the statement "don’t understand the floor plan." Is it unclear where the bathroom, staircase, bedroom, kitchen, or living room are? Or is the question more about not following the reasoning behind why the floor plan is designed this way?

To clarify:

Ground floor
- Entrance area with staircase
- Bathroom
- Home office or bedroom (granny flat)
- Open kitchen (with a window seat, where the seating area is inside rather than a bay window projecting outward) combined with the living room

1st floor
- Entrance area
- Bathroom
- 2 children’s rooms (one room, bottom left, with kitchen connections)
- 1 master bedroom (this room can be connected to the children’s room on the bottom left)

In my view, this is a normal house, except that the staircase is located right in the entrance area rather than, as is often the case, in the middle of the single-family house.

See my note in the cross-posting:

I can’t quite make sense of the floor plans. It’s best to show them in both versions (i.e., in the usage conditions "Family" and "Parents / Children").

To clarify:

Ground floor
- Entrance area with staircase
- Bathroom
- Home office or bedroom (granny flat)
- Open kitchen (with window seating, where the seating area is inside rather than as a bay window projecting outward) combined with the living room

First floor
- Entrance area
- Bathroom
- Two children’s rooms (one room, bottom left, with kitchen connections)
- One master bedroom (this room can be connected to the children’s room on the bottom left)

From my point of view, this is a normal house, except the staircase is right in the entrance area instead of, as is often the case, located in the middle of the detached house?

Okay, now I understand what ground floor and first floor mean and what rooms are included in a detached house.

As a detached house
I don’t like separate staircases, and there is probably a good reason why this has fallen out of favor. A staircase at the edge uses more walking space and often causes a dark corridor upstairs. I find the layout very unfortunate. Children’s rooms don’t have to be the same size, but here the differences are extreme, and the parents’ bedroom is almost twice as large as the child’s small room. How accessible is the ground floor intended to be?

As a multi-family house
What do you do if you don’t have any children living with you? As soon as grandchildren arrive, the layout no longer works either. With rental units, you have different requirements for heating, water, and electricity. That costs money now for something that might only be needed later.

Your presentation is awful. The floor plans have different orientations than the lot you’re showing here. Even there, you need to analyze many lines to figure out what you mean. We’re not in a guessing game.
To read this somewhat correctly, you have to rotate your tablet. For site planning, it’s essential to identify access routes and the street. Measurements are missing, and you must provide parking or driveway space ON the lot. None of this is visible.
You also used the program from hell. It’s so visually unpleasant that it’s painful to look at for long.
And once you finally understand how the floor plan is positioned on the lot (which isn’t easy, as the setback areas don’t seem realistic—you can only guess because there are no dimensions), you don’t see a nice single-family house but rather a few uninspired rectangles slapped together like Tetris blocks, where no room is even remotely well planned.

Yes.
