For question 1: the key to a more clever room layout would probably lie in a different staircase design; I would omit the area protruding above the ground floor; for question 2: why should that change the window arrangement?

I don’t think I can leave that out anymore... since the part is already with the structural engineer and he just kindly set it aside again.

Joker, then why are you still asking about a possible different layout? All the walls of the upper floor are dimensioned to be load-bearing. What is still possible if the plan is already with the structural engineer: moving the windows and changing their sill height. They could be made narrower, but not wider, that's it.

Yes, of course, in a certain way: the lintels are calculated individually each time, but only once for each width. As long as you do not exceed the widest of the calculated lintels, you can use the calculation for a wider window in a place where a narrower one was intended.

Phew, this is a tiring thread to read... and a good example for lurkers of how homogeneous and balanced, objective, goal-oriented, and attentive this forum can be. Almost all users put thought into it, want to help, etc. In this case, and that's the tiring part, almost nothing gets through to the OP. A shame.

Why the repeatedly mentioned, important advice to plan from the inside out is practically ignored remains a mystery to me. People submit to the symmetry dogma as if there were no tomorrow. That's fine if it's your thing, okay. But then you are indeed in the wrong place here, as the elephant already pointed out. But somehow you are still here... so join in, preferably with more than just one-liners.
That might also help avoid misunderstandings, the best example being the excellent contribution from , which you simply reduce to a sample photo (!), that was harsh.
Tip: read everything here again with an open mind and imagine you are not but a neutral reader. Seriously. That could help.
