Only change the entrance. Then bicycles and mowers don’t have to go through the whole house, but only through the hallway.
The roof above... uh, I just see: it doesn’t fit in.
Well then, what about the storage room in the living areas on the ground floor and upper floor? Where does the broom go? Cleaning supplies? Vacuum cleaner?
Exactly the staircase must "point" northwards in this direction due to the low height.
We really haven’t given much thought to the storage room, depending on the design of the staircase there might at least be some space under the stairs.
Many say that. But it doesn’t really make much difference. For the craftsman, “pennies”. And even if it’s 500€: for an optimum design those should be possible. After all, you also treat yourself to a second washbasin and a second shower,
If it’s just a few hundred euros, that surely wouldn’t stop us. For example, moving the kitchen in L-shape to the southwest, then maybe a small island would be possible at the position where the coffee table is currently drawn. Then possibly also the column solution regarding the central wall. I will sketch that out; in any case, an interesting suggestion especially since we probably spend more time in the kitchen during the day (southwest orientation) than on the couch. Then the proximity to the terrace would also certainly be advantageous.
One of the children's rooms is a scam: the entrance is a bottleneck. The drawn-in furniture shows that one would rather place that one shelf somewhere else.
I think you’re talking about the children’s room in the north? One possibility would be to align and ultimately mirror the current bedroom and the northern children's room by removing the dressing room and moving the partition wall slightly south. Especially considering the parents’ room under the roof (see below). Later on, for the children, the option to have equally sized rooms.
You have plenty of storage space in the basement...
The intended storage space there is not worth mentioning because you can hardly enter it. We have such a room ourselves under the sloping roof – you go in there a bit crooked.
I would, also because you lack a storage space within reach, make the parents' bedroom up there with sliding doors in the 180-cm area and then a small chamber, with clothes at reachable height in front (normal), and under the slope to the back low shelves that can be rolled forward. Then you have used the sloping roof and also have your peace.
That’s why a crawl storage, whether you actually use it remains to be seen, but the front part would definitely be usable. Possibly move the door towards the staircase to make a rather rectangular room and place the entrance to the presumably little-used crawl space simply inside the room, i.e., extend the partition wall straight through.
Upstairs relaxes a bit then: there set up a small PC-file-folder-vacuum cleaner closet with about 8 sqm.
Why is no office planned? Where do the children print their documents? Or you?
The idea was that the computer as well as the printer are located in one of the basement rooms; for this we have a 1.5 m wide cupboard in which our files etc. are stored. I just wouldn’t call that an office. Initially, we will certainly want to stay on the same level where the children sleep, especially the one-year-old often gets lost at night in our 4-room apartment while searching for the parents’ bedroom. But in perspective see the above considerations and then the smaller children's room could be repurposed.
One’s own imagination should suffice to draw a window there.
I think so too; I already told the draftsman and don’t see why a small window couldn’t be placed facing north there.
Basement: the casemates should not be where the terrace is. That’s not nice then and leads to misplanning in height etc.
I would probably undermine/grade this square between AB outdoors and the southwest corner of the house and then make a nice residential window in the basement there, then a recreation room could be created below. Is the basement supposed to be heated? What ceiling height is planned?
By “casemates” I assume the “windows” or shafts are meant. Very good point that hadn’t occurred to us so far. The solution with the grading sounds good, that would at least solve the issue for one room. It was planned that the two southern rooms “Basement 1” and hobby basement are heated. Room height 2.45 m (see pictures below).
Measurements everywhere would be very helpful. It’s a bit like guessing.
I have photographed the plans with a bit more distance so that the measurements should hopefully be visible.

Thanks a lot in advance!
