Hello.
That’s quite a lot of windows you have there. Are you keeping an eye on the costs or do you have the necessary cash?
I do like lots of windows, but somehow it seems overloaded to me.
Otherwise, I would first paint the wardrobe and enlarge the shower/WC. The entrance area is big enough to carve out more space for a wardrobe there, e.g. in the form of a niche in the utility room wall.
I am also a fan of pantries, but this one is very cramped and the sliding door alone is very expensive, so it might make sense to rather include 2 more tall cabinets and store beverage crates in the utility room. Then again, you can also move the utility room door so that a wardrobe niche can be created.
For kitchen planning I can recommend the kitchen forum website to you. (You can never plan a kitchen early enough!)
The living room corner seems very tight to me. How is it supposed to be furnished?
Upstairs I wonder why the kids get the north rooms. Kids and teens spend most time in their rooms and should also get sunlight (especially in winter).
That means I would move the bedroom and bathroom to the rear and the two kids’ rooms to the front.
The drainage from bathroom via WC and utility room should be simpler.
The dressing room would then probably have to be placed in front of or behind the bedroom and one kids’ room across the front.
But the current dressing room does not work anyway. It only consists of traffic areas and windows. No cabinets fit in there!

We are aware that there are quite a lot of windows. Our wish was to build a house consisting of corner windows and central windows. That is why one unfortunately ends up with such a number of windows.
The wardrobe next to the WC is actually only for visitors. We also imagined having another wardrobe built in a kind of niche on the utility room wall. Possibly even in wall color so that the wardrobe hardly stands out!
Thanks for the tip about kitchen planning!
In my opinion, the living room corner is also a bit too tight.
We might extend the right wall by 0.5m to 1m towards the dining area.
The furnishing is supposed to be so that the TV stands/hangs on the staircase wall and opposite that the sofa, and on the wall to the study/guest room possibly a sideboard etc.
(So far, this area is not yet 100% decided)
If the bedroom and bathroom are moved to the rear, then drainage via the WC is certainly easier. However, if the dressing room stays as is, there would be no way to get into the bedroom because the stairs are in the way and the dressing room would be even smaller than on the south side.
But I am really becoming aware right now that there is no space for cabinets in the dressing room due to the windows and doors :-/
P.S. Attached is a picture where you can roughly see how our visual idea of the exterior looks. (With regard to the window arrangement)
Best regards
