So, I will now comment step by step, according to the floors. Changes to the house:

1. Enlarge the terrace to the width of the house and make it longer. Preferably 7m*5m, if that is too much because of the development boundary, then take 7m*4.75 or 4.5m.

2. Then a double garage is missing at the side parking spaces, we will include that in the permit application.

3. Total house height? Can it be built 1m higher?

3. The bay window door should be centered in the bay window.

4. Please check again, is the kitchen window centered from the inside, meaning if you were standing in the kitchen? Is the kitchen 288cm wide?

5. Is there a possibility to make the corridor a bit wider without taking width from the kitchen? Maybe reduce a bit from the pantry and WC? The house I have seen from acquaintances has 10 cm more corridor width instead of 150 like mine. Honestly, even 150 is wide enough to hang a shoe cabinet after the building service room and before the kitchen door. I want the wardrobe in the storage room, so the jackets etc. go there, and only a few hooks in the hallway. That is enough for me.

6. The door in the kitchen should open inward. You convinced me on that. But the door will stay there because I also want a small table in the kitchen for us and since I cook a lot, I also want the kitchen to be closed and wide enough. I have already been to kitchen planning and had a plan made, even though I am not buying yet. The sill height and connections will only be fixed in the work contract, so I will do that next step. We are both tall, so we have to check the sill height. I have already inserted a kitchen plan here that fits my kitchen size 288 by 388. The door stays in the kitchen, otherwise, the shoe cabinet will not fit in the hallway. A shoe cabinet 35 cm deep is fully okay and 110 cm long or with mirror. I still have about 115 cm corridor width left. I find it okay, but you can criticize it happily...

7. Now to the furniture: The dining table should also be placed lengthwise, I find that totally okay. I have 326cm length in the bay window, the table is 180. Then I have 74 cm left on both sides, of course you cannot pass by, but one can sit there well, actually I just measured, one can even pass if the person moves forward a bit. The idea is that when guests are there, everyone can sit comfortably. In everyday life, you can certainly pass by if the chairs are pushed in. As for the door, it will stay closed anyway, or we are considering whether to take a sliding door (3000 euros) but it's not worth it for us, so we will wait. Why do you all find the table not fitting lengthwise...

Couch size 3m*210, basically the size is correct, just make it a bit longer. And unfortunately, my couch is reversed from how I drew it. Coffee table (120 by 90), that is the maximum coffee table size I would put in... I still have to buy that. Can you position the couch as I drew it, just between the windows, so centered in the room, or rather more to the left so that we have more space for the living room.

By the way, I will decorate the wall from the kitchen to the dining room in the dining area with a box shelf, one of those IKEA shelves, 4- square with lights .... books will go in there, but I don’t want to do anything on the wall behind the door to the terrace ... at least nothing planned.

Then further changes in the upper floor

1. The office door should open inward... because there is a risk of injury if someone comes up the stairs and the office door is opened.

2. What is that step to the balcony? I still have to check.

Attic,...

1. Change window size (we can do this during the selection), but possibly you have more height if you have bigger windows?
2. Does the washing machine really fit under the ceiling with a 35-degree gable roof and 30cm knee wall...? I have already seen it fits with a 38-degree gable roof, but with the plan change I don’t know.
3. Add the dryer, does it fit on the left when you come in the door?

At this point, many thanks to everyone for tips and help, it’s a pity that the architects who studied this do not have the eye for it. Really very heartfelt!

I have to get that explained by the architect, I don’t understand where you can read it off and where the step is, basically, to the exit to the balcony?
Oh yes, someone had commented on what I want to do with the balcony. I can hang laundry there instead of having to go all the way down. Then this didn’t cost us much more, since we have the bay window to make a balcony upstairs. I find it nice.

I’m curious what else will come now,... I’m happy about every contribution and already feel quite good, since I’m having some things corrected again and feel like I’m getting closer to the goal. Some ideas, e.g. with the other staircase, I don’t want.

You don’t have much continuous workspace and the left base cabinet on the long side is probably a pull-out pantry cabinet with 2 levels (I suppose). The cabinets are definitely extra expensive with very little usable space. Where is the dishwasher planned to be installed?

The dishwasher is right next to the pantry cabinet. Do you think the workspace left of the stove and around the corner isn't enough as continuous workspace? I can still replace the pantry cabinet with a regular cabinet. My main concern in the planning was to decide how the window should be positioned, whether centered or otherwise,... the height can still be changed in the contract and whether I have enough storage space and if the cabinets will be sufficient.

Since you are building without a basement, you need every storage space on the ground floor. Therefore, you could consider closing off the space under the stairs with drywall and having a small storage room there for, e.g., vacuum cleaner, etc. The area is otherwise, in my opinion, just a place for clutter anyway.
