All the details like the cloakroom, windows, upstairs are missing. Hopefully upstairs won’t be too difficult, since only 2 children's rooms, 1 bedroom, and 1 bathroom have to fit there.
Musketier has given you the answer.
Grym, this won’t work. You have to keep the whole project in view, and that includes both floors, the exterior views, and the location on the property. The planner can’t just add a cloakroom into this dark box afterwards.
That’s how it is.
The living/dining area with 34sqm without the kitchen is certainly not too small,
The room can be smaller as well if you give it a proper structure, so you plan it in a way that allows both a place to retreat and an open place for socializing.
The kitchen should work well with nearly 9sqm,
Try furnishing it.
The utility/housekeeping room is almost 7.5sqm.
Barely within the possible range for the technology. TECHNOLOGY, I will come back to that.
Cloakroom either by pushing back the WC towards the utility room
So the utility room should become even smaller?
I showed the plan to my wife and she said find space for the cloakroom and then it fits. 120cm hallway is certainly not too little.
120 maybe 125 cm should be enough for a door with a large glass side panel.
Huh???? The entrance door has a shell construction dimension of 113, if I’m not mistaken. Where should there still be glass? The space is barely enough for the door handle when the door is open.
The utility room is not any further from the living room than if it were in the hallway.
The kitchen is even closer to the living room than if accessible from the hallway.
The living room is the central place in the house, if I want to optimize paths then from the living room to room X (kitchen, utility room).
Your last 3 quotes show your thinking error.
I think I once read from you that your current living room serves as a hallway, with doors leading off of it, and you consider that good.
Unfortunately, no one has definitively told you that in a single-family house daily routes run differently than in a cozy apartment.
My fault from my side: here I speak as a house resident since 1978 at my parents and later as an owner

Unless you belong to those families who spend the whole day in front of the sofa watching RTL2 and eating chips while having power struggles over who goes to the kitchen, your daily routine at home should be similar to others (excluding shift workers or homeworkers). (Exceptions prove the rule, and I also belong to an exception )
The morning routine after getting up, getting ready, etc. goes to the kitchen to make coffee, have breakfast, etc. Then you go to work or stay home.
At home during the day or evening you mostly handle daily chores involving constant stair usage because of tidying and cleaning, utility room, wiping rooms, utility room, laundry, garden, utility room, kitchen, children’s rooms, utility room, garden, utility room, ironing upstairs, etc., coffee in the kitchen, cooking, everyday stuff at the PC, eating, etc., before chilling in front of the TV in the evening.
And what do you notice? Nowhere appears
your central living room.
Unfortunately, you plan your retreat as a thoroughfare, in which all the dirt from the day is spread, without living in it or using it as living space.
If you have a garden or outdoor area, you are often outside, watering flowers, pulling weeds, sweeping the yard, or enjoying free time on the terrace. The front door or utility room works quite well for work-related tasks, for the terrace you use living room-kitchen or dining room.
Should the utility room be planned as a trapped room that you can only reach by passing through all rooms on the ground floor?
What about the laundry basket, which has to be dragged through the utility room door, through the kitchen (sliding door), through the living room? ...
What about in 10 years when the teenage daughter wants a sandwich with a friend in the evening? Why do you want to trek multiple times through the whole house to get tools (TECHNOLOGY) from the utility room (by the way: there is no garage yet) to repair the bike? Why do you want to drag yellow leaking garbage bags or empties through the living room? The utility room no longer has an exterior door because it is too small.
Why do you want to showcase your (house)wife groaning while carrying laundry from the utility room upstairs while you show a friend something on the PC?
Why should your children have to tell their friends to leave just because you are unwell on the sofa? (Believe me, in 10 years you will be exhausted after work and lie down briefly – and that will not be the bedroom
I like unconventional living – I also like restructuring according to personal needs, but with you I see nothing logically thought out – only blinkers. Any catalogue floor plan, which could be improved by small changes, is disfigured by you because you seek the pivot point in the living room.
