Hello, I am currently planning to build a semi-detached house for rental purposes.

The house width must not exceed 15m (49 feet), but I have flexibility in the length.

Orientation is northeast.

It will be a standard house made from 36.5cm (14 inches) aerated concrete blocks, with either an air-to-water heat pump or ground-source heat pump, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, and a pitched roof or hipped roof (nail truss).

I have a few questions regarding improvements.

Ground floor: Should I swap the kitchen and living room? If yes, do I also need to swap the bathroom and bedroom on the upper floor?

Upper floor: Should I keep the small 4.5sqm (48 square feet) room as an office/dressing room or plan it as a children's bathroom and allocate the main bathroom to the parents?

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

I made some changes. The dimensions are about 7.5 x 12.5 meters (25 x 41 feet).

These are all approximate measurements.

Tomorrow I’m going to see the architect to see if he can work with this.
