Basically, I prefer a two-story option. Upstairs children's area, downstairs living and sleeping (parents). But your floor plan is actually a bit convoluted. Possibly plan a conversion for a future granny flat. But it doesn't have to be :)
Your first version has too much hallway space. Even with a generous 10-12 sqm + good stairs (not at the entrance) you can manage well. Your stairs offer too much unused area. How about a 3/4 turn? Then you might have more options for the upper floor.
I would also plan the storage on the upper floor; whether a washing machine and dryer are also located there is a matter of taste, but probably more practical with three children. So then swap storage function with office/guest. Consider whether parents should be at the very top, with the children's level in the middle.
You must walk through an elongated pantry; an advantage would be a square layout for the pantry. Door, left, right, and opposite then shelves, so you don't need to go inside but can reach everything from the door. Bathrooms always stacked (as already mentioned).
And always keep in mind: a sealed roof terrace costs money. Whether you use it when you have a garden is something to consider (cost/use factor).
Best regards
