The problem is that you are presenting your ideas here and not the current state.
You can’t tell what is yours and what is existing. The staircase length on the right side of the plan is currently roughly 450 cm long, the tread width at the top measures, in relation to the 1710, about 140 cm.
The bed measures 230 x 300, incomprehensible dimensions for a bed.
Staircases are best planned one above the other so that no living space is wasted.
It is common knowledge that small children like to share a room to sleep, but I would still grant everyone their real own territory, because friends are rarely shared, and everyone has their own circle.
The rooms on the left side of the plan are enlarged, there is still space for another room at the bottom of the plan. The wall at the top of the plan would then be the hallway, and here cabinets could replace storage space.
The staircase to the roof terrace would then be above the existing staircase (ground floor/upper floor) and not through the children's privacy, where you would walk over Lego bricks. Overall, four children’s rooms fit on the upper floor.
However, as said before: where a staircase goes up, there needs to be headroom on the next floor. I know of no roof terrace that does not have a small additional room on top, basically a stairwell. If this is to be an exit, then it must also cover the second half of the staircase.
For a small shower bathroom, the space on the ground floor is sufficient. But of course, ventilation upwards and disposal must be considered.
First, I would plan a spacious wardrobe by the entrance with 3 meters of continuous cabinet space. Then the kitchen could be planned as a passage room in the middle right part of the plan.
The living area is ample, over 25 sqm, and would still have to be furnished here with a dining table.
Overall, much would probably be feasible if one assumes that at least the 17 x 6 are correct. One cannot make big leaps in one’s wishes. I also see the roof terrace as currently not possible and not practical.
That an architect planned here is not visible either. The exterior walls are far too narrow and there are other mistakes as well. The objection regarding the technical room is also justified: somewhere the base stove with the fuel material must be placed. This is all thought too naively and accordingly drawn.
I am really curious about your ideas!
So, the building currently consists of three large rooms with nothing in them except a staircase next to the entrance under which there is a shower bathroom. Everything else is workshop or storage/office.
Although I would very much like the roof terrace, I can well imagine that there won’t be approval for it.
If the neighbors say no here, it will remain an addition in height and we would probably still buy it.
There are windows that could be used both as roof lights and as exits.
You don’t necessarily need another structure here.
If removed, there would be even more room to play with, and I would try to create even more rooms over the high, permitted knee wall (75 cm) and bring a lot of light into the house with large roof windows.
I could imagine that the children could have further retreat options over ladders on their bedroom ceilings.
I have started to draw furniture to scale in the plan, which, as you rightly recognized, is not from a German architect.
That was really just meant as an idea or feasibility study for me, and I find many ideas interesting.
I realize it is by far not optimal.
I wouldn’t mind if the kitchen with dining area moved to the 1st floor or the dining room moved into the living room.
Here is my attempt (not finished) and unsuccessful.
I think it is justifiable that one children's room would be shared by two children, as I also need an office.
Here I am open to ideas as well.
This is part of the site plan, which I have anonymized. This is what it looks like:
I am truly grateful for any constructive input.
Then I can go to the architect here with a better idea.
