Single-family house floor plan approx. 190m² - Optimizations

Please don't get me wrong, I am grateful for any suggestions. What will ultimately be implemented, we will see. We just haven't given any thought yet to the view that the staircase might look crooked. But if both sides are to be framed, the staircase would probably need to be moved. Do you perhaps have a sample photo?

Would the bedroom be allowed to be in the east? Then something like this might possibly be appealing:

Starting from a certain house size (which we already reach here), people like to plan some kind of gallery on the upper floor. That would be missing here now. However, I also don’t see the dressing room easily going to the west.

What I unfortunately don’t understand is the hoped-for gain in space by rotating the house. If you don’t want an extremely much smaller kitchen etc., the rooms just swap places. I don’t think it will be more than that.

PS: In forums people usually use informal address, you know?!

I think the solution with the bedroom is great. The only "drawback" would probably be that the bathrooms are no longer stacked. We were told that it definitely makes sense and might be somewhat "more cost-effective." Do you have any experience with this?

Yes, of course the optimum would be to have all the downpipes aligned. However, I really don't believe that anyone would give you even a cent discount for that.
But you can almost run the pipes under the floor from one side of the house to the other. I still find it okay if you get the pipes along the hallway and they don't go directly through the living room.

To me, the location of the rooms would be more important at first. Having the bathroom facing east is definitely desirable.

The reward is rather avoided drywall-encased downpipes in some corners where they look really ugly.

That can be omitted at any house size.

What I don’t quite understand: you only have 3-5 guests a year, but you reserve them a huge room. What happens to the room otherwise? I would combine the work and guest areas there and thus gain enough space upstairs to have a sensible dressing room (the current cramped dressing rooms are not), possibly also set up a small utility room there and let light into the hallway in an architecturally beautiful way. The long corridor it has now is just wasted space and also looks sh... Then rather a skylight instead of this corridor. With only one child, you can also consider whether to give the child’s room a few more square meters and make a small room retreat with a separate sleeping area – then maybe keep the teenager a bit longer at the mother’s breast. Or a small, separate bathroom. After the teenager weaned from the mother’s breast moves out, this can be well used as a guest area without having guests in the private bathroom, and the work area remains downstairs.
