City villa subtly modern 218 sqm

Then just show the (unchanged) existing condition as a basis for comparison.

Good idea. Attached is our current floor plan. 1.5 stories with a clipped gable roof.
Deviations from the floor plan:
- Kitchen open and extended far in
- Staircase quarter-turn without these two disturbing walls on the ground floor/upper floor
- No dressing room on the upper floor

Otherwise, perhaps a clarification regarding the new construction project.
We really like the upper floor as well as most of the ground floor.
I have enlarged the wardrobe. Thanks for this hint.
The living-dining area still seems too "uninspired" to me,
although the partial areas: kitchen, lighting, and terrace roof are fitting.

Deviations compared to the floor plan:

You forgot new upper floor instead of old attic

You forgot new OG instead of old DG

exactly

Here is the reason why we would like to have a larger kitchen/dining area.
At the moment, despite the overall size of the ground floor, it is rather cramped and at the same time my home office area.
The living area, on the other hand, is too large. And all these pieces of furniture (except of course the kitchen) have to be harmoniously integrated. There must be sufficient light and the terrace must be accessible. I hope this clarifies my challenge.

Hehe, we also have the Hülsta furniture, but in walnut. Exactly the same TV wall and also the sideboard

I would not do without the corner at the bottom left in the new kitchen. It is a good place to put the coffee machine or other kitchen appliances.

, you have excellent taste in furniture
, thanks for the tip. We currently have exactly that, but finishing the kitchen furniture is visually more challenging, see picture no. 3. A crazy idea of mine is to create a hidden access to the utility room there. Basically through the cabinet door.

The ground floor now has a highlight: a fireplace around the central outer corner. I can quite well imagine it visually as an eye-catcher as well as a connector between the parts of the room. The flue also runs more elegantly through the dressing room upstairs and thus does not cause any disturbance.
