ᐅ Location of a city villa or detached single-family house on a 500 m² rectangular plot

Dear all,
after sharing the floor plans of my possible hamster cage with you in the other thread , here comes the next thread (thanks again for all the constructive suggestions there).
Just so you know, the semi-detached house is not off the table yet, as this plot of land is highly sought after and it’s not clear whether it will work out. But this one would be my favorite.
Now to this plot. For now, I’m mainly concerned with where and roughly how the house should be positioned on this plot.
Development plan / restrictions
Plot size: 500 m² (5400 sq ft)
Slope: none
Site coverage ratio: 0.2
Floor area ratio: 0.4
Building envelope, building line and boundary: 5 m (16 ft) from the street, 3 m (10 ft) from neighbors
Edge development: allowed for garages and sheds, none existing on the plot
Number of parking spaces: 1-2
Number of floors: 1.5–2.5
Roof shape: no preference
Architectural style: no preference
Orientation: aligned parallel to the street
Maximum heights / limits: ridge height max. 9 m (30 ft)
Below are the site plans I created myself based on the details from the listing.
This is a rough overview of the plot with building boundaries and dimensions.
My question is: where to put the house?
The broker suggests placing it towards the back, since you already have the 5 m (16 ft) setback at the front and would “gain” about 3 m (10 ft) of garden. My partner doesn’t like this because of the visibility from the street. I say: privacy screen! But I also think, a fence too high might create a prison-yard feel.
But even if you follow this suggestion, I wonder if a more square floor plan (-> town villa style) would be better?
Like this, for example:
Then parking space might be tricky, right?
Or upright like this?
I really want as much of a west-facing view and garden as possible. I tend to be an evening person and that side is less built up, due to the road. So I think more light comes through.
But the narrow floor plan caused lots of problems with the semi-detached house already. Well, here you could build longer instead.
What do you think?
Best regards
Tolentino

After all, he is a future neighbor (about 800m (875 yards) away), if that isn't a good sign.Then he’ll have to work diligently, otherwise your dog will always bark whenever you walk past his place :-)https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

I have to give my neighbors some praise. It's already great that I get my construction water from them, which I'm sure you've heard before.
But the fact that they cleared the sidewalk for me during the first snowfall is really amazing.
If you have neighbors like that, you don’t even need a perfect house.

Could someone please pick up the little Tolentino from Photoshop paradise? - I really can’t stand this kind of clowning around.
Another brick will surely be added there. Because of the perspective, I can’t accurately judge the offset of the first layer above the base, but the overlap dimension seems to require inspection.

The last photo shows a fairly large gap. Up to what size is that still allowed?

Well, I prefer not to share my lovely wife on the web, but next time I can post a neutral image. It was just what was on my Chinese phone. I could have used a dinosaur instead, but my wife wouldn’t have liked that...
The lap joint is about 5cm (2 inches) and should be fine since the workers also said that 5cm (2 inches) of insulation will be added on top.
