The absolutists regarding Bauhaus will always stick to "their" original style. The basic style is simply interpreted differently today. And especially as a homebuilder, I find that not only permissible and legitimate, but also reasonable. Everything evolves.
Personally, I then have much more difficulty with the so-called city villas. They often orient themselves to the imperatively dictated square form and almost never allow the rooms to be designed really optimally.
As for me, I started from scratch. Simply reviewed the restrictions of the development plan and the building site. Then started with the space requirements. Which rooms do we want, which on the upper floor, which on the ground floor (still completely without restrictions). When you start like that, there are usually not the same space requirements on the ground floor and upper floor. It becomes tricky when those on the upper floor are larger (but there are solutions for that as well).
Whoever lets go of the principle that ground floor area = upper floor area will come up with interesting and exciting options. However, these are usually not really "cheap" to realize. But as a start of what is usually a really months-long floor plan evaluation, that is the only correct approach. We definitely did it that way. Not everything fits yet, but the basics are there and they are (for us and in relation to the building site and the surroundings) suitable. It simply is not a cube...
Good luck and patience in further developing it.
