In my opinion, 480cm is more than enough, even if you place the sofa 50cm away from the window. In times of Full HD or even 4k, you don’t need 8m distance from the TV for it to appear large. For a 60 inch Full HD, I believe around 4m distance is recommended...

Why not place the fireplace at the top left next to the first window? That way you look at the fireplace and outside

Because that means you would have to ruin the appearance of the house from the outside. Either a stainless steel pipe or chimney in the corner, and for a city villa that would take away all aesthetics.

And what if the fireplace is placed in the corner near the cooking area? There, it would also take up less (wall) space and you would feel the warmth on the sofa, but not as intensely. You could also move the chimney to the corner of the hallway, where it would be less obtrusive than in its current location. Btw. Is the door opening direction INTO the living room correctly depicted? For the guest WC, I would consider having the door open INTO the hallway, with regard to accessibility in the guest WC. If someone were to fall inside the WC, they would lie in front of the door, and you would have difficulty getting to them inside the room.

You say, we have it in city villa style and are happy. I wouldn’t want to have nature at my back and stare at a white wall.

I always wonder why people plan floor-to-ceiling windows only to place the sofa in front of them.

A fireplace at the kitchen/dining corner is also somewhat pointless, as the full heat then hits the dining area and you always have to curve around the fireplace.

I consider a fireplace on the top plan at the exterior wall best for the LIVING area.
