City villa

: What details are you missing: It would be nice if you could be more specific.
Bathroom: you find almost 16m² too small. In the houses we have seen so far, the rooms were smaller and we already found the rooms big enough.
Kitchen/Dining and Living area: Concrete suggestions here would be great.
Symmetry in the front: Will come, the two windows on the left side will each be replaced by one window as on the right side.
We want to keep it exactly as square. We do not plan a terrace directly at the house

I looked at my post again, as well as your planning, and I think I was specific enough.
Again:
The house of this size and shape is supposed to present something. At least that is obvious from the outside, but unfortunately not much to be seen inside the house. Under the stairs it’s filled up with clothes and shoes of 5 people, the living room is accessed through a side door. A guest WC, which has an adequate size and is functionally furnishable, would probably not be a big demand, even in a smaller house.
The kitchen in its size is dysfunctional because the work triangle is too large. In an open kitchen, it can be details like a tall cabinet block, possibly even boxed in.
Living area: A sofa in front of the main window is unexplained, between the seating area and the fireplace lies what feels like a main traffic area, the TV is squeezed to the side. There is a lot of space, but it’s not really furnishable... it can always be improved!

I did not elaborate on the bathroom, I am usually rather a fan of "one meter smaller," but cozier.
I’m not a fan of a kids' bathroom, yet probably appropriate with three children. But parents have spoken up here, and if I were you, I would also listen to them and not argue with old habits like "back then it also worked with a shower." Because back then it was probably smaller ;)

Upper floor:
You have already noticed the distance between staircase/wall upstairs yourself.

We partly agree on the mini corners, but some are unavoidable or even intentional to install a cabinet.

About the quite many corners: I like built-in wardrobes, but I don’t see that this was the intention here. Because then the corners would be more pronounced. Here you can see that the architect wanted to give bedroom 2 an adequate size through the corners and not have the stairs run flush against a wall ;) Additionally, the bay window corners come into play...

Where will you have your terrace if not at the house? That is quite unusual... usually, you plan several seating options, at least near the kitchen.

Fact: to me, this planning looks like "just happened and was not planned concretely."
I do not believe an architect was involved!

P.s. the views show a terrace at the house! By the way, I have criticized that no protection was included in the planning in any way, of course that also applies to the entrance side, where you are defenseless against the rain. I have only just noticed that. Planning squarely and still incorporating protection is of course a challenge, although not a big one, since it is not the aerial view that makes the appearance :)

Hello community,

here is another draft. We have incorporated a few suggestions.

I am looking forward to your opinions. Maybe the passage between the hallway and the utility room is still a bit narrow.

As a test, we had a balcony included in the draft.

Unfortunately, I see a deterioration ;) .. Staircase now directly next to the front door, so always through the dirt area. The twisting in the utility room and thus the living room ... and, from where is the balcony supposed to be accessed?

Dressing room still trapped.

Where is actually north in the plan? At the top of the drawing? A site plan of the property would also be helpful.

Good morning

You have changed quite a bit, but not improved.
The reason for this, I suspect, is that you only partially move some walls.

Starting with a blank sheet of paper and a clear mind from scratch
or consulting a professional is my suggestion
