Well, sliding doors do not take up space in the room because they do not need the turning radius. For some room situations, an advantage. And as always, with all advantages there are also disadvantages.

and what do you do with the space you gain because the door doesn’t take up a radius? Nothing – because you have to keep it clear to be able to walk there. Then the advantage disappears, and you still have the disadvantages (price, usually noise when opening/closing, slower, never tight, ...) anyway.

Right?

Well, you have to leave less space because you usually don’t open a hinged door exactly 90° but a bit further and possibly all the way to the wall. Especially in hallways, space then becomes tight because there might be other people trying to pass through, putting on jackets and shoes, etc. Alternatively, with a sliding door, you can place a sideboard or console table right next to the door, which you wouldn’t necessarily do with a hinged door. And in bathrooms or bedrooms, it might be necessary to get closer (to the bed, bathtub) than a hinged door would allow. Because it requires the full width of the door leaf plus a little extra, whereas an average built person passing through only needs about 70 cm of clearance and can get through comfortably. But you’re right; for me, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. A sliding door would only be something for absolute emergency situations for me.

What would bother me about the sleeping area is that the person who sleeps longer is disturbed by the other walking back and forth between the bathroom and the dressing room. The living area would feel too cramped for me because of the wall, and I also don’t find the entrance to the living area between the kitchen and dining table very nice. Whether you like all of this is something you have to decide for yourselves.

Best regards

I would still plan windows in the dining area. It's not just about the light, but about the feeling of the space. The 3 meters to the neighbor can be nicely designed. You don't have to look at gray stone. Take a look at 's outdoor area.

Morning , now things are really moving -
I would also find it absolutely important to draw in the furniture, because that can change a lot. Since you want to place, for example, 8 running meters plus x of a wall unit or have a certain TV distance due to size, etc., and the size of the dining table, etc., this is indispensable.
I also find the hallway with 18 sqm way too big, unless you have something specific planned with it that should be recognizable on the plan; otherwise, I would find the space wasted.
In my opinion, sliding doors are also mostly a last resort and I find them rather impractical to handle; moreover, they usually do not close like a regular door.
The bathroom has again two doors, which for me is a no-go and I also see no sense in reaching the utility room from there and from there further into the hallway. Therefore, I would add a shower to the guest WC at the front (for guests and similar riffraff) and would want to consider my sleeping area as absolutely private.
If you wanted the utility room near the bathroom out of habit, you should also perhaps consider having the utility room closer to the kitchen. What I don’t understand is how the staircase in the utility room is supposed to work, also on the upper floor, because it is also "in" the room there. I think that another staircase might fit better; you still have enough hallway space.
Your open plan room is more like a corridor (which is deliberate in my case), so the prior furnishing is absolutely necessary. There are absolutely no windows there, as it is now it will look very dark and elongated.
Currently, I miss light there and above all a really large window front on the "nice" side of the house or the orientation of the floor plan towards such a side.
