I would definitely swap the living area and kitchen. As it is now, the living area is a passage room – do you want that? On the other hand, the kitchen is in a cozy corner – which, in my opinion, it doesn’t have to be. Since you are doing a complete renovation anyway, relocating the connections shouldn’t be a problem, but a couch that everyone passes by to get a soda from the fridge and a kitchen where I have to carry my groceries through the whole house wouldn’t be my idea of comfortable living. And if the extension is to remain as planned, I would also swap the bathroom and bedroom there to have the quietest corner as the sleeping area and an en suite bathroom and dressing room. Otherwise, the early riser has to go to the bathroom first, then sneak through the bedroom to the dressing room – unnecessary!
Those are great suggestions. I’ll change them in my plan (in my head) for now. Whether that will work out in any way later, the architect will surely tell me.
Now I just have to find the right architect for such a project!

Then it would probably look like this. Makes more sense, I think!!!
I completely lack the imagination for how to set up an en suite bathroom in such a room :D
No no, just swap the bedrooms with bathrooms; enter the area through the dressing room - a strict separation between bathroom and dressing room is not necessarily required, possibly plan decentralized ventilation in the bathroom. And then at the very end the sleeping area. Here it is again such that you have to go through the sleeping area when you want to get dressed and ready.

A walk-through bathroom... I actually had that once about 15 years ago in a hostel in Warsaw. But the adjacent room was rented by a stranger. Doesn't matter. I would rather section off a small hallway at the top left, or somehow reduce the size of the bathroom, to definitely eliminate the walk-through room.
with the order from the bottom, Bathroom - Dressing room - Bedroom would be given. I personally would omit the dressing wall in the bedroom to create a 2x2m yoga area in the bedroom undisturbed and with a view of the garden.
