Hello everyone...
After our first floor plan attempt failed completely, we worked with the architect to develop two more ground floor versions and one for the upper floor. I would like to know which ones you find good or bad, and what you generally like or dislike about the floor plans?! Also, the pantry door is drawn a bit oddly; it won’t actually look like that...

In short: I would generally avoid extending the hallway and kitchen indefinitely. The kitchen’s ergonomics suffer, and the hallway takes up valuable living space. You might want to check how Danwood separates hallways.
You already know everything else from our conversation.

Your semi-detached house is 9.xy meters (approximately 30 feet) wide, not narrow at all, even wider than some detached houses.
And yes: it might be that a simple quarter-turn staircase right at the entrance works better – that would need to be tested. The rooms would remain oriented the same way. Disadvantage: the staircase starts right at the entrance.

For this narrow SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE (9.43 m (31 feet)) I think this is the best position for the staircase... Everything else would be even worse, in my opinion...So, I quickly put together some evidence to support my theory that the staircase from the original Eco3 does actually fit your house dimensions. To demonstrate, I used the ground floor.
a) Comparison: Eco3 on the left without modifications / on the right with modification
Original 10.86 m (35 feet 7 inches) x (plus bay window) 9.11 m (29 feet 11 inches)
Your dimensions 9.43 m (31 feet) x (plus bay window) 10.07 m (33 feet 1 inch)
So about 1.30 m (4 feet 3 inches) needed to be reduced in width,
and nearly 2 m (6 feet 6 inches) had to be added in depth.
Office / guest room (I haven’t drawn the wall here) would be accessible through the living room in this example, or you could adjust the door position of the living room – this is just a rough “proof” of feasibility at these dimensions. I deliberately did not reposition the bay window to the relative center of the house here, because it only looks better centered in the original single-family design; with a semi-detached, it actually balances better as shown.
The changes in detail: The cloakroom was converted into a pantry and shifted almost linearly, with a corner added for a broom; “guest” room becomes kitchen; cloakroom niche replaces the side section of the front door; technical room/utility room was changed in format but with roughly the same area, enabled by the relocated WC; “guest” and technical room share the reduced width equally. The entrance hallway is no longer a ballroom, but that’s due to the more practical staircase location.
b) Comparison: left side at the same location
Your most recent version shows it works.
Creating a quick sketch for the upper floor is much more time-consuming, so just this for now. However, it should be clear that placing the staircase at the edge requires additional area for the stair access. This also leads to a compromised bathroom layout on the upper floor.
