Stephan,
   Our lives would be so much easier if architects would just make 
square buildings, wouldn't they? :-) When faced with similar 
problems, I used TNO's CpGenerator but broke the building up into 
rectangular sections, treating the other sections as obstructions. I 
think you will have to do your building in five sections as follows 
(in each top view, the modeled rectangular section is in red and 
everything in black is treated as an obstruction.
