Thank you for your answers and suggestions.
I wanted a partially covered terrace, so this proposal came from the planner.
Do you really think that the 2.5m walls darken the room that much? Would it help a lot to open the side walls?
Regarding the evening sun, we have already thought about it, but I was under the impression that the sun disappears behind the bay window anyway.
In the first plan, the children's and parents' rooms on the upper floor were swapped. Unfortunately, this solution was too tight because of the stairs.
We don’t find it that bad that the children's bedroom is now located in the northeast. Our child only stays there at night anyway.
Of course, we would prefer the living area to be 5m, but then the house would become even bigger, or we would lose some storage space.
Maybe one of you has some ideas on how we could change it.
Regarding the construction costs, I based myself on the initial specifications of the first two drafts. These were similar in house size.
The new specifications are currently being planned.
We are planning quite a bit of DIY work (such as electrical, flooring, painting, drywall, landscaping).
