It's quite a lot that you are planning on such a small area. I find the floor plan way too convoluted, poorly usable, too small and uncomfortable.
What does your husband do? What is the office supposed to be used for? Why does it need a shower? Maybe the office can be scrapped and set up in some kind of garden shed?
Who is a guest for half a year?
The apartment for the mother: isn't it supposed to be somewhat barrier-free? For example, the bathroom is a torture in that regard. Then there is a terrace, but to get there from the kitchen you have to take a detour, even though it is right next door.
Is it supposed to be a one- or two-story building? What should it be? A development and/or site plan is still missing. Where are the cardinal directions or did I miss something?
Floor area ratio 0.3
Plot 21.5*21.4m.
Two-story buildings are allowed, whereby the second floor must be built with a pitched roof. Ridge height max 9m.
No, the cardinal directions are indeed not drawn in, I have just added them now.
My brother-in-law (11 years old) is a guest for about half a year.
The thing with the terrace is true, especially since we scrapped the door from the corridor to the living room.. Maybe we’ll just take the wall out again.
My husband is a bailiff. That’s why we’re not really sure if we really want to invite people home.. But he needs a study at home anyway. Floor area ratio 2 is already quite utilized. Does a garden house count towards that?

Note well: it is only for your own good if we beg you as brutally as possible to completely crumple these plans—they are really hopelessly conceptless shoddy work (and to be honest, they also look like someone merely scribbled over your original plan with a few changes).
And very importantly: provide information (for example, name the development plan, in the format "Posemuckel Nr. 234 old sports field"—not as an unwanted link here). More than a handful of regular discussants here are on board who can thoroughly read and understand such plans. For example, a roof pitch regulation is usually given as a range, "from...to," rather than just "from" a certain number of degrees; how many parking spaces are required (example: you need three but only have to provide two, then the third might be "trapped" and the house could shift more horizontally—whether that would be an improvement is better figured out here by the experts than by your technically clueless draftsman).
What conceptually does not work at all—and definitely cannot be fixed by drawing doors for every kid’s room or renaming the guest room—are various gross violations of absolute essentials, starting with the main residential unit banished to the non-full story. Botched Idea Number Three is then to subdivide this into too many individual rooms. Botched Idea Number Two was to also partition off the outdoor seating areas in this already extremely tight space situation. And tell us how the age and gender mix of your three little ones is arranged. Botched Idea Number Four on the open-ended list are the bathrooms not stacked above each other.
There is only one wall that can be removed: between the little living room and the kitchen.
Yes, but not only that. The unaffordability runs like a red thread throughout the entire house. The corners (and also the load-bearing wall around the staircase on the attic floor, which is not aligned with the one on the ground floor everywhere) make the structural engineering complex; apparently, the draftsman is not used to thinking in ceiling fields.
The driveway cannot be smaller given the length, and I don’t see a garage being feasible anymore within the buildable area.
A knee wall height of 115 cm is absolutely sufficient to completely substitute a knee wall. Making a balcony instead of a storage niche hits the floor area and does a disservice to the living space.
Bailiff home offices are a formality in practice, and you can largely control how rarely they are frequented. There are office hours at the district court, after all. No bailiff not near retirement brings his clientele unnecessarily into the house—and the bailiff also selectively only the pleasant ones.
You absolutely need to redesign this completely—except for the extensive utilization of the possible house depth, none of this is usable. Give your mother-in-law an area of grass grid stones that can be gradually upgraded later, then cutting out the terrace floor area ratio is done. Personally, I would never-ever put my bed in a closet just so that the actual wardrobe does not stand around in the bedroom. A five-person apartment in such a small attic floor cannot handle a separate dressing room. I would consider distributing the children into one smaller single and one larger double room; if necessary, the biggest later moves as a teenager into the office (if your mother-in-law hasn’t already emigrated with a crush to the Canaries). In the house as currently planned, nobody will have fun—in the attic you will even get muscle atrophy from the tightness, as you can only walk through the hallway like a tightly wrapped mummy. It’s best if you write three sentences one hundred times each tonight before you start working on a new floor plan concept:
1. The larger living unit does not fit into the smaller area [possible solution: additionally an outside entrance for the mother-in-law, parts of the main apartment on the ground floor]
2. Too many wishes on a small area inevitably lead to a labyrinthine floor plan.
3. Complicated wall and piping layouts make a house considerably more expensive than one with a larger area.
Even these three sentences should easily make it clear why I can see from Mars with the naked eye that this could never have been made by an experienced freelance architect—and I really think I know even the biggest failures of this profession.
, what does your professional experience say—how many family catastrophes start in such a highly compressed box apartment?
Freelancers do not legally disturb a residential area as far as I am aware. Insurance agents may also discuss policies at the kitchen table as long as the doorbell plaque does not become an advertising sign. Local mayors and bailiffs regularly have additional home offices where consultations legally take place. In the case of arbitration judges, this setup is even the norm.

If we later occupy the whole house, the walls will be taken down anyway.
There is only one wall that can be removed: between the little living room and the kitchen.
Wall layouts on the upper floor are unaffordable due to so many corners and edges, right?
Yes, but not only that. The unaffordability runs like a red thread throughout the entire house. The corners (and also the load-bearing wall around the staircase on the attic floor, which is not aligned with the one on the ground floor everywhere) make the structural engineering complex; apparently, the draftsman is not used to thinking in ceiling fields.
The driveway will be made smaller. A garage is supposed to follow.
The driveway cannot be smaller given the length, and I don’t see a garage being feasible anymore within the buildable area.
We planned the balcony to somewhat reduce the slopes in children's room 1.
