What is the most important/fundamental question regarding the floor plan?
1) What do you think of the ground floor and its orientation in relation to the garden and terrace?
2) Should we swap the kitchen and the TV area, yes or no? Currently, the TV and dining area face the garden/Black Forest and southeast side, while the kitchen is on the southwest side.
3) Any ideas for a suitable staircase? The appearance is important since the staircase is part of the open living area.

But this corner borders the parking lot, What kind of parking lot?
No matter what your answer is: why should a parking lot affect the bathroom?
The issue here is the position of the sun: rooms without sunlight are less comfortable. Especially children's rooms should get more sunlight than bedrooms and bathrooms.

No matter how you answer: what does a parking space have to do with the bathroom?
This is about the sun’s position: rooms without sunlight feel less comfortable. Especially children’s rooms should get more sunlight than bedrooms and bathrooms. We have been talking past each other. You mean the bathroom on the upper floor, right? Yes, you are correct, we should swap those, which is easily possible.
No matter how you respond next time, if you do: please avoid the condescending tone. Thank you.
Yes, you can go to an architect with this and ask if they can work something out.
There are many windows missing, the hallway in the entrance area is a bit too narrow, the rooms upstairs are somewhat of a disaster, the basement is also quite unusual, but apart from that...
I would recommend not bringing any personal design ideas at first.

I would recommend not bringing your own design at first. Windows are basically missing in general; they’re not shown here. What exactly do you find problematic about the upper floor, and what would be your suggestion?
If there is no compelling reason against it (e.g., a busy road), the children's rooms are usually planned on the south side, the bathroom on the east, and the bedroom takes whatever space is left.
Where exactly are the glass doors in the living room? I can't see anything clearly...
