I'll give you a good tip! Houses are designed in black and white - whether you use the site plan or the draft from the GÜ. And then there are measurements. You should not let yourself be dazzled by colorful pictures, but rather take a pencil and paper and get a feel for the property. I have been following quite a bit over there these last few days - I also read that you have been pregnant with your own plans since last year and probably haven't gotten any further. It may be that you are approaching the house construction the wrong way. Parallel to "I’m painting myself a house" you look for a GÜ to whom you can trustfully hand over your house wishes. And if architects repeatedly put you through some suffering on the way - reconsider the advice and don’t get stuck on the idea that you can only visit a kitchen twice a week or that 2 sqm of storage space for what you need in a house (if the janitor doesn’t bring everything himself) will be sufficient. However, you usually cannot incorporate advice x and advice y from someone else into your design in such a way that the whole design does not suffer. The examples mentioned should basically be reconsidered - if you come to the conviction that you want to implement them, a fresh start usually leads more to the goal than trying to implement improvements in a fictitious square of outer walls. Have you really been painting since October?
