Floor plan single-family house 215 sqm flat roof modern - feedback

Not only the contrast between the private insurance entitlement level and the planning finish by the general contractor draftsman, but a number of other similarities prompt me to give the poster the following reading tip: (similarities with the missed happy ending may not be a coincidence).

Some things have already been mentioned here. I find the discrepancy between the living space size for you parents and the children inappropriate. Especially when looking at your remark that the children's rooms are to be made smaller. Wanting almost 50 sqm (including bathroom and hallway) for yourselves, but a maximum of 18 sqm per child is okay? Well. I find the split bathroom for the children inappropriate. To shower or wash their hair, they always have to run across the house. Furthermore, just under 6 sqm is okay for children, but for teenagers?!

My spontaneous ideas regarding the current floor plan... For example, one could:
- Convert the HTR and bathroom on the ground floor into a utility room of about 11 sqm
- Use the utility room upstairs as a "children's bathroom"
- Do without part of the 17 sqm large dressing room/hallway
- Convert the WC upstairs into a storage room for brooms/vacuum cleaner etc.
- Reduce the living/dining area so that an adjacent bathroom for the au pair/guest WC can be connected to the "multi"-room

However, it still is far from optimal. I have the feeling that the house was built around the "parent section." But it has been neglected whether the room arrangement even makes sense. Less is usually more. Clear structures and fewer winding (partly small) rooms would certainly be a bit better. On the floor space, something feasible could definitely be created that fulfills your wishes.

Just a few questions for clarification:

- The pantry is not separated from the kitchen by a wall, but only by furniture?
- Access to the open space generally without lockable doors?
- Staircase is completely enclosed by walls on both sides like a tunnel?
- What is the multipurpose room used for? Office?
- Bedroom facing south – is cooling planned?
- Bedroom furnishing unclear – please draw a 2m wide bed with a 70cm walkway on each side. Where should it be placed? Under/in front of the window?
- Walk-in closet without windows? Should the light come only from the gallery? That will be dark.
- Disproportion: 17m² master bathroom, 10m² utility room, 2.5m² kids’ WC. You could surely carve out a shower and kids’ bathroom for the children.
- Hopefully the disadvantages of the open space for children who want to sleep upstairs are known?
- Exit from the staircase with 1m is extremely tight – you already bump into the kids’ room door. I wouldn’t want to have to put a wardrobe in the bedroom there.

Overall quite a nice idea but still not fully developed, I think. Is the overhang (current bedroom) upstairs really nice and absolutely necessary? Doesn’t the narrow open space on the ground floor seem a bit dull?
