My wife and I would like the entrance of the house to be angled at a corner, roughly like this:

Now we have already visited several houses and model home exhibitions, driven through new housing developments, and browsed through quite a few catalogs, but nowhere have we found the front door in this position. Is it sensible to approach an architect with this criterion, or can nothing reasonable come of it? Do you perhaps know floor plans of houses with exactly this entrance situation?
We have also tried ourselves, but the results were only designs with miserably long and narrow hallways or many corners in the entrance area. The house is supposed to be about 11*13m in size; on the left (west) gable side there should be an open living and dining area, and you need to access it from the door.
Regards,
Sebastian
