I would redesign the entire house.
Why don’t you take your room program to an architect or choose 1 or 2 prefab house companies. Just give them your room program and have a look at their proposals.
Large room program on a small area.
Different staircase and both floors can be designed differently.
Soundproofing: Depends on the wall structure. The architect should be able to advise you on that.
Ground floor:
Hallway dark, relatively large
Wardrobe, quite small for 5 people
Storage room, you can fit the contents into a cupboard
Bedroom too narrow
Bathroom without window – acceptable in a rental apartment
Utility/technical room very small. Water connection, power connection, gas, ventilation system, hot water, meter box, washing machine, dryer and the room is already overflowing. No drink crates, no laundry basket, nothing yet.
Living area I find too small. Fine for three people, with you it can be up to 5 people – 3 of them children and once a month for a few days there are 7 people.
Upper floor:
My spontaneous thoughts about the sports area:
How often do you think your husband will still do sports when you really have 3 children?
Some children don’t mind if they sleep and you use the sports area, other children are very sensitive.
When do you think you can let your children use the sports area unsupervised?
Do you do sports while loud teenagers are in the rooms?
Can’t you turn the guest room into a guest room/sports room? Neither is used regularly. It makes sense to combine them.
