This is currently what we have. It is the plot with the number 1323.

I hope that is now enough to get some opinions.

Gladly. Although I don’t understand why one has to fill a post with two additional pages, then upload plans from which no measurements can be read (whoever uploads something as a contributor is clearly at an advantage if they check that once), and have to be asked three times.
Well then: this should not affect my contribution to the question, the information is enough for that now, I don’t need to go into measurement detail here :) (unfortunately)

First of all: I like the basic idea of an accessible apartment. I also like the exterior views, even if the front hits you strongly due to its height.
Unfortunately, I see no accessibility in the apartment.
If we take the basic idea of accessibility away, I see a shared entrance on the north side. The wardrobe for the main apartment is here in the hallway – so as a single person, I would not want to rent this apartment at all, because I would have to share this hallway with strangers (landlord) and step over shoes etc. of a family of four to reach my small apartment. The wardrobe is meager but might be enough. The living space can probably be furnished quite well, but there is no terrace. I would put a floor-to-ceiling window in the living room and plan a small exit there.
The bathroom is a small disaster and cannot be furnished that way either (I can still read 2 meters width here). There is absolutely no accessibility here, it’s even furnished quite angular for healthy people ;)
Main apartment:
There should be enough storage space for the main apartment in the basement.
I find it all questionable why there is no storage room or place for laundry on the upper floor.
All in all, I find everything on the property misplaced. One has to look for a south-facing window, also a west-facing window.
There is no direct access to the garden except via this raised terrace. But the street is there?
I find the staircase too small, it could be more generous. It will work though.
Then the access to the kitchen: there is none. I imagine the homeowner carrying groceries from the supermarket upstairs and then first having to walk through the living room (chill lounge) to then get back to the calcium silicate wall.
Every house resident has to go around the wall from their rooms to get a drink. So there should be a door there.
Why are two tables standing right next to each other? The living room is nicely large.
On the upper floor, the arrangement of the bathroom, dressing room, and bedroom is questionable.
Always through the quiet zone – the second person will never find peace, whether they want to sleep longer, can, or are sick: they will definitely always be disturbed by the other.
I ask why the kitchen is not by the terrace, why there are no nice south-facing windows that bring light into the house....

I would arrange all the rooms differently, even if there is a slope in the south. For me, the rooms have no optimal orientation and would therefore immediately get a zero and be planned anew.

We are talking here about bathrooms in the south and living areas in the north! About a trapped kitchen and a garden that is not supposed to be used.

Sorry first of all for all the trouble. I have to admit that this is the first time ever that I am posting or publishing something online to hear opinions [emoji28] Thanks for the reply & the rather detailed feedback [emoji4][emoji1303]. But I think you may have misunderstood something? You come directly from the street to the front door, and it is the south side.
That means both living rooms and a child’s room plus our bedroom get sun all day long.
Additionally, the street is not often used and at the end there is a dead end with a turning area.
We wanted to have our bedroom there because the view is very nice.
You also get the evening sun in the back garden. You are right about the kitchen! We have thought about that as well and a door will be installed there! We also like to sit longer in the kitchen, hence the table there. We also fully agree on the floor-to-ceiling windows in the small apartment, which we will change soon.

We also thought a long time about separate entrances, but somehow never properly placed them because otherwise, for example, the guest room on the first floor would have been lost, which we did not want to do, etc.

The bathroom for the small apartment is definitely not nice as you said. The bathtub will be removed, it was only drawn in as a placeholder. There will be a large walk-in shower instead, and accordingly, the whole thing can also be furnished differently.
