Quick question: Isn’t another door in front of an elevator mandatory? Especially in penthouses, this is considered a construction defect, as fire can spread quickly in case of a fire. I wouldn’t build without another door in front of the elevator.

Short answer: no It depends on the doors and the rest of the fire protection. Take a look in hospitals, etc. There is no additional door in front. Also in the penthouses, it is not a fire protection door but for aesthetics.

The elevator is positioned 90° rotated to the stairs. For better clarity, I have drawn the doors into the section and added the individual floors. The elevator does not have double-sided doors or a door to the garage. I agree with you, that would be far too risky regarding burglary.

You build a special house and then you only show us parts of it. Too bad.

sorry, it was not my intention to withhold anything from you :) I’m attaching my drawings here and not the preliminary submission plan as above, because I don’t know if I’m allowed to do that legally...

That makes it quite simple. When positioning, I wouldn't worry about draft or anything like that at all.
