ᐅ Location of the Carports on the Property, Concept Development

PaydayHello!
We are currently planning a single-family house; some of you may recognize my posts here. We have now found a construction company and know exactly which house with which floor plan we want. What remains is deciding the position of the house on the plot and how to position the double garage (or carport).
The original idea was as follows:
(blue line = 3-meter (10 feet) building boundary, does not apply to garages in the shed // N = north orientation)
However, this means I would have to pave about 100 square meters (1,076 square feet) of driveway. That is quite a lot. If I move the carport forward toward the street, it will cover a window (guest WC), and on the backyard terrace, we would lose wind and privacy protection (west-facing).
Do you have any ideas?

Hello, the floor plan is as follows:
I know I won't win any beauty contests with this (self-created CAD drawing). It is more important to me to accurately scale and correctly place all the furniture within the house for modeling purposes. I think you can tell the orientation based on the front door. There is no side entrance door.

... attached to a semi-detached house? Well, I won’t say much, since you want to discuss the location of the carport anyway.
You could move the carport up to 1.5/2 meters (5/6.5 feet) closer to the front corner of the house (or even further). For that, swap the WC and utility room so that the WC has a window at the front (north or west side). The utility room window would then face the carport. A patio door could also be installed there if needed.
For privacy and wind protection, plant a hedge along the property boundary and/or on the west side of the terrace. The space created between the house and the carport rear wall could be designed as a backyard area.
Alternatively, as you have it drawn now, you might simply rotate both building parts 90 degrees clockwise together. However, this would mean considering a different, possibly better floor plan due to the main entrance being centrally located on the north side.

hello
this is a detached single-family house (townhouse), not a semi-detached house.
unfortunately, the rooms cannot be swapped; it is a solidly built, standard design house. small changes are possible, but swapping rooms is not. I could remove the window, but then the guest bathroom would no longer have a window. thanks to the ventilation system, this is not a problem in terms of air circulation, but there would be no natural light from outside anymore, which is not ideal.
specifically, this is the "new family Home" townhouse "City" from the company kagebau.
since no other floor plan is possible and the orientation of the house actually fits perfectly (north-facing entrance, south-facing large living room windows — see pictures if you google the house), rotating the house would not help much. I could only move the garage to the north side.
as you can clearly see, it is a corner plot. on the land registry map, our property is listed as house number one on the east-facing street. does the driveway have to be on that street as well? Or can I use the other street, as shown in the current pictures? The official from the building authority said it does not matter, but by now, I don’t trust anything anymore.

How much would a modification like that cost?
