Self-developed according to room requirements per floor.
What makes it especially good or bad in your view: Especially good that all our requirements are implemented in the planning; room orientations and locations seem optimal to us; short driveways.
What is the most important/basic question regarding the : optimization potential?

Notes:
- Plot plan is oriented to the north (N is up)
- Floor plans: north is DOWN (basically the view from the street); access is from the north

The current floor plan is the basis for obtaining guideline offers (timber frame construction).

After selection, the project will be refined again (especially kitchen and fireplace topics – all "furniture" in the plan are just placeholders!).

Quick question: does a bed wider than 90cm fit in the guest room at all?

Quick question: Is there room in the guest room for a bed wider than 90cm?

Yes, it fits (1.4 meters against the wall): It’s completely secondary since we basically have no overnight guests (or put differently: this is the least important room).

You had simply written guest room and at first glance it looks very narrow.

There is no space for a shoe cabinet and coat rack in the hallway.

I would widen the pantry doors to standard width. With a folding basket or beverage crate, the narrow doors could become inconvenient. In any case, I would place the door from the hallway opposite the one leading to the kitchen. Then a shelf could be placed on the wall.

Upstairs, only the narrow hallway between bedroom and bathroom bothers me. This bottleneck.

Exterior views would be interesting.

I have to disagree with you: Look at the entrance (directly to the right after the front door): There is great space for coats and shoes. That is more than enough.

The door widths are not yet drawn completely correctly – you are right about that. Of course, there will be wider doors.

Regarding the upstairs hallway: A width of over 1.3 meters does not bother us at all. That is due to the chimney. Also, that is only this short part. This could be criticized for furniture transport: They will come up via the balcony anyway.

I have to disagree with you: Just look at the entrance (directly to the right after the front door): There is plenty of space for a wardrobe and shoes. That is more than enough.

But then the window would have to go, which would be a shame.

Upper floor: ok
Ground floor: in my opinion, unfortunately not:
