Yes, that's true, I just didn’t want to cover everything here with the pictures
I liked the first approach better because it also allows for the east and southeast sun for the house. Additionally, house and garage in the west (for me the spot where the terrace towards the large garden should be) form a nice protected corner.
We are planning the terrace rather in the south or around the corner to the west, but not exclusively in the west. In this case, we would have to plan the kitchen and dining room also in the west, but then the east sun could not be used in these rooms. And in my opinion, the east sun would be most beneficial especially in these two rooms. So in the first attempt, the kitchen and dining room would be more in the east and the terrace then in the south. Unfortunately, there are space problems there.
Also, we should possibly add that the area in the east is a cemetery, which is why the second variant with the garage would be a good visual screen. This way, we would simultaneously have more space in the south, which would also be quite charming. I don’t know if we even miss the east sun; currently we have only one window facing east, but there are meter-high trees in front of it.
