So, a bit more awake than this morning, now a little more input from me:
If you already have a provider, check what kind of walls they have.
The architect has planned our house on the plot in what apparently is the "best" way.
I didn’t really understand that either: the current status
of the architect is being discussed, but a
layman’s plan is shown (???). In the drawing in post #41, there is also talk of three "plots" and their respective floor area ratio utilization. What is probably meant are cadastral parcels, and it might be more sensible to first combine them into a single building plot.
The upper floor still gives us real problems, since I can’t get an optimal arrangement of the rooms.
I also have a mantra for this: "follow gravity," meaning develop the ground floor from the upper floor (because the latter is more complex). Laymen often think they’re struggling due to lack of experience/practice with this task—but in fact, it’s more about their approach, starting with the ground floor. And they start with specific room shapes/locations instead of with the "general" spatial program. Otherwise, they would quickly notice where the plan "glows brightest": namely where the quotient "wishes : square meters" is the spiciest. Hot spots are dressing rooms, showers, pantries, entrances and exits (the latter including terraces/garages/main and side entrances). If you then also keep in mind where downspouts most likely get their name from, it becomes clear why it’s unwise to “build up” floor plans from bottom to top when planning. The result is regularly rooms where all the furniture fits, but you can only walk through with your stomach pulled in, doors get pushed into corners, etc., and if you fix these mistakes and it finally "works" upstairs, it’s only at the cost of dormers necessary up to head height and/or downspouts boxed in next to the TV and dining table.
