Hello, today I had to wait for an hour and only had my notebook with me... so I just doodled a bit.
This is my very first draft of the ground floor, and it probably still has quite a few mistakes.
What I’m curious about is whether there are any major errors here (for example, the staircase?).
North is at the bottom right.
One square represents half a meter (0.5 m / 20 inches).

EDIT: Structural engineering could make this quite expensive, as steel beams might then be required.

MIA_SAN_MIA__22 Jun 2017 12:25What if I simply rotate the whole layout? That is, swap the long side with the short side?
Then a straight staircase wouldn’t fit anymore, but I think a slightly quarter-turn staircase would also work.

Could it be that, without any clear concept or basic planning, you keep starting over again and again in your free time?
This way, your house will never come to completion.
If you’re planning to work with an architect anyway, that’s fine—think things through and discard ideas as needed. Experiment a bit.
But if something buildable is going to come from your own plans, then approach it with a clear strategy.
Simply try placing the main rooms where their orientation would suit you best. Just leave out the exterior walls and stairs for now.
The rest will fall into place.
