Opinions on floor plan for single-family house, approx. 160 sqm, Frisian house

It would be nice if you could make your statements more precise. What exactly do you not like about the window planning? On the kitchen side, the windows are symmetrical at the top and bottom. Just like the front and rear sides. Only on the right side it didn’t fit, but I still liked it in the 3D view.

The knee wall is 85cm. There are no other building restrictions except for the single-story limitation. Roof pitch is 45º. I can’t precisely draw the 2m line, I really lack the knowledge for that.

Since no 2-meter line is drawn, it looks more like a two-story urban villa.
That’s why I missed the windows on the southern side on the upper floor. But now it’s understandable given the knee wall specification.
Nevertheless, with a captain’s house, you should aim for some symmetry – in my opinion. If you don’t value that, maybe consider building a more modern house with a dormer, where you can play with asymmetry. The window in the front gable is not centered. The window in the room plan top left doesn’t work because of the slope!
Well, whether you like that on the west side or not: After all, you asked here for opinions, "comments/suggestions on what could be done better or what we should pay attention to".

The floor plan is based on designs by two different architects and therefore cannot be entirely wrong. We also had the kitchen planned in a studio and adapted it a bit for ourselves. I have read a lot on the internet and looked at floor plans and developed ours from that, so I find your post insulting and not very helpful.

What does "based on designs by two different architects" mean here?
You can ruin an architect’s floor plan with one wall or a major error. Take, for example, the stairs: wrongly placed and slightly changed around can destroy an entire floor plan. The same applies to "adapting the kitchen": please draw again for us to see which gray areas represent what. If the part to the right of the dining table is the sand-lime brick, it is wrongly placed. The passage is too narrow anyway. That’s the topic of adaptation.
How long is your staircase, for example? It appears to be the length of your bathroom width... 3.30... is too short. If it is 3.70, it fits again.
Regarding bathroom drainage: what goes into the toilet upstairs must also be led out downstairs again. Via a short route, few bends, and preferably not through a living room.

If criticism is insulting to you, then you should stop asking for it.
It is up to you whether you accept advice and comments or defend your ideas and creativity.
It’s entirely up to you to be open to the other party. If you have read in so much already, you know that the best way to judge a floor plan is with the site plan and elevations, and so on.

Just asking dumbly: If you already have an architect’s plan or two, why don’t you take one of those?

P.s. Symmetry does not mean: top and bottom are the same, but equal distances from the centerline outward or from the house edges inward. At the top, the distances can also be drawn inward RTG centerline.

If criticism is offensive to you, then you should refrain from asking for it.

Constructive criticism is also very welcome to me. Not just sweeping statements like you didn't think about the windows, otherwise this and that doesn't fit because of the roof, or I would do it this way for this or that reason.

But now back to the actual topic. We have an appointment next week with a new architect, with whom we will discuss the whole thing, and then I will post the result again. Hopefully with all necessary details so that no misunderstandings arise.

What have you already paid for your architect drawings? How often do you change?

If there is a new architect, then there is also an old one. Was the old one an architect commissioned by you with free planning? Which service phases have been commissioned and completed so far? A concrete kitchen plan also does not fit with the initial floor plan consideration before going to a general contractor or architect... And when will we finally see the Friesenhaus (or its floor plan) promised in the title? I fear it will turn out to be a loveless general contractor bling-bling Friesenhaus imitation charm... WD

I fear that it will end up as a loveless GU bling-bling-Frisian house imitation charm...

I think so too. There probably won't be an architect on HOAI. I don't find that bad in itself, as there are often good reasons for a BU.

Nevertheless, it is not our job to place the windows in the correct position. Windows depend on rooms, which depend on the exterior walls, and these can change very quickly once the bay window has proper dimensions.
