House floor plan, improvements / suggestions 1.5 stories

Hello dear people,

attached is the floor plan for our planned house. The meeting with the architect is still to come. What do you think? Does it already fit like this? An open living concept is desired.
The south side is at the entrance of the house, which is why we didn’t want a utility room or anything similar there in order to fully utilize the sun.
Best regards

The basic idea of a simple, compact house appeals to me. The kitchen as a central place is a statement about lifestyle preference. In the implementation, I have a few question marks:

[*]The stair height in the passage from the entrance area to the living area poses a risk of bumping one's head for somewhat taller people. Overall, the passage is very narrow.
[*]The bathroom upstairs will be very tight. Depending on the knee wall height, one will probably prefer to place the head end in the bathtub towards the center of the house. Only slim people can get past the sink.
[*]I do not understand the bedroom part next to the bathroom. How will this area be used? It could alleviate the very tight bathroom situation if the room were added to the bathroom.
[*]The entrance area is very tight for a family of four. Some jackets and shoes will have to find space elsewhere. (Am I correct in my assumption that children are planned but not yet there?)

Thanks for your thoughts.
- The bathroom upstairs is exactly the same size as mine or even 0.5m2 larger with the same arrangement. It definitely works well. So it was oriented accordingly.

- The hallway is dead space for us; we only wanted to make it as large as necessary. The space next to the stairs can be slightly reduced, but the stairs are already high enough there so that you can pass comfortably. We want to design a möglichst offenes, weitläufiges Raumkonzept.

- The part in the bedroom next to the bathroom is actually about 8m2 in size and can be used as a workspace or, prospectively, arranged in such a way that it can be separated by a flexible room divider. We first had the workspace separate, but then you somehow get so many small rooms. Instead, we wanted to create a spacious feeling upstairs in the room. Secretly, I actually want to set up a fitness corner there and put the workspace in one of the KZs as long as there are no children yet. It will be a while until both are needed. We are currently 26/27 years old.

The house measures 8.54m x 10.75m.

The upper floor looks like Tetris
Parents very tall but where should the wardrobes go
Ground floor bathroom too narrow
Hallway too large

We planned the upper floor including the staircase first to make sure that the room layout makes sense. And it actually does. I don’t get the feeling of Tetris. Except that I find purely rectangular rooms somewhat boring.
The ground floor bathroom is 6m². I consider that relatively large for a guest bathroom. And the shower niche inside is actually full size.

The hallway is a dead space for us; we just wanted to make it as big as necessary.

I understand the desire to minimize the entrance area. Regarding "the essentials," I would consider: Where will jackets and shoes, scarves go? How do you get past a stroller when the time comes?

The part in the bedroom next to the bathroom is already about 8m2 in size and can be used as a workspace or arranged in such a way that it can be separated with a flexible room divider in perspective.

I understand that this is the home office reserve in case you have two children. Office by the bed – not everyone can sleep well with that.
