My floor plan for a 4-family house, please share your opinions

I have already reported on my project here. I want to build a single house with 2 residential buildings (semi-detached house) and 4 residential units in a new development area. These apartments are initially intended for rent. Maybe later for personal use or family.
The two residential units should be able to be combined without much effort; until then, the ground floor forms one residential unit and the upper floor plus the attic form another unit (maisonette).

I would have preferred the bathrooms to have windows and the kitchens as well. The architect did not include this in his first floor plan draft and thinks it is actually okay this way, because the opposite would be difficult to realize.

Since the two house entrance doors are located on both sides of the house (south/north), and the living room on the west side (terrace), it will of course not be easy to build all rooms with windows.

I would like to get your opinion on the 4-family house floor plan and maybe some suggestions so that I can contribute something to the architect next week.

Thank you!

Do you have a site plan?

Why is the entrance not in the east.
I always find it uncomfortable when the staircase is next to the bedroom.
On the ground floor, I would swap cooking and living. Cooking, eating need light, TV less so.

In the upper floor/attic I would tear everything down.
The attic seems quite awkward.
Just thrown everything in that somehow has to fit.

Heating, presumably the connections and meters for both apartments should go there too.
Children’s room narrow, almost half below the 2-meter line.

What’s missing is the open, light-flooded gable.
Living under the roof, children’s room below.

Layout plan... or do we have to search?

Splitting one and the same project across multiple threads is something I also can’t stand: – simply because it’s not nice to make unpaid advisors work overtime. Searching costs time, which outweighs any supposed clarity.

Thank you! Your criticism is harsh but not unjustified, even for me as a layperson.

I will also upload the site plan; it is plot number 20.

We did not want entrances on the east side because the green area there is meant to serve as gardens for the upper apartments and to provide a bit more privacy.

I also thought about having the open kitchen moved to the window side so that there is more light and better ventilation while cooking. But then the architect will say that it will be difficult because of the wastewater ventilation pipes.

It is still unknown whether we want central heating in the utility room on the west wall or individual boilers in each apartment, as planned.

What exactly do you mean by the light-flooded gable?

Splitting one and the same project across several threads is something I also can't stand: - simply because it's not nice to make unpaid advisors work overtime. Searching takes time, which outweighs supposed clarity.

I didn't intend that, the architect is properly paid and this is about a simple exchange of opinions, as would be typical in a forum.

Besides, the other thread was about something completely different, here it’s actually only about the floor plan.
