Oh, so you can't change anything except the door, I see.. Then I would also make a wider door with the largest possible glass element in it.

Did I miss something? Was that mentioned anywhere?

The shell is already standing. Don’t drive him crazy with things that can’t be changed.

The hallway is definitely very dark otherwise. You have enclosed rooms everywhere. I would consider equipping the door with a window as large as possible.

exactly that would be my plan now, what door width should one choose? The brick dimension is 1.40m. Door 1.10m and frame 15cm each or what is common there?

We faced the (nearly) same dilemma, for us it was even tighter (1310 mm rough opening). We omitted the side panel, it would actually have looked silly, and we have now integrated the glazing into the door (or rather doors, we have 2): door width 1240, frame extensions 30 mm each on the left and right.

The door to the bathroom should open outwards. The paramedic cannot get in if someone has collapsed inside.

The kitchen door should open outwards as well, so that no one carrying a tray full of champagne glasses has a crash landing.

The 1-meter-wide living room door is tiny for the size of the room, unbalanced. You always have to go around the wall first if you want to go upstairs or come from upstairs, strange.

So to answer your question: The frame as narrow as possible, the door as wide as possible, the glass element as large as possible. I wouldn't pay attention to nonsense like the frame being exactly as wide as the brick or something like that.
