Is it really like that?
It's about the sense of space. Now you only have hallways when you enter the house. That is oppressive and not nice. The main culprit is the wall enclosing the staircase. Putting the staircase in the middle of the house is, given the house shape and size with a knee wall of 1.40m at the top, just a bit unsuitable, I would say.
Since you want it more "classic," why not put the staircase at the bottom of the plan - that is, classic?

Just think about it...
