Plan location of house & garage within building window *Pre-planning*

Your house keeps getting bigger, but really only the hallways are getting bigger.
With Excel, it's also easier to color the cells than to draw lines.

I wouldn't say bigger now, but it just looks more realistic when it's drawn to scale. Regarding the hallways, I was/am unsure about the measurements. Everything else should fit so far. If some rooms can be made smaller, just get rid of them. But besides the kitchen, living, and dining area, only the hallway would come to mind for me.

Personally, I find the ground floor generally too angular. I prefer it straightforward, versatile. A matter of taste.
Upstairs, I find the room sizes strange. The bedroom is relatively small, the bathroom huge or almost too big at 19 sqm. In between is the dressing room, which has a door in every direction and probably a window to the north. 7.5 sqm, into which a good 3m of wardrobe, maybe 4m with corner solutions, will fit. But then you only have clothing stored there; you also need some space to dress, maybe a chair, something to put things on. At the latest, when the partner wants to go to the bathroom, you’ll be standing on each other’s feet.
In other words: I find 10+7.5 sqm = 17.5 sqm for a bedroom with a large double bed and wardrobes just barely "okay." To reduce it further with an additional wall, door, and window, minus the additionally required "circulation area"—everyone has to decide for themselves.
The kids’ room is an absolute palace. I don’t want to start a faith war, so just the question: Is that intentional, or does it just result from the room layout?

If the latter question applies to one or the other room, maybe the "reset" button should be pressed again. Or ask a professional for a design (based on generic requirements, no fixed determinations!).

1. Hallway on the ground floor is way too big
2. Pantry still doesn’t work. 1 meter depth minus at least 35 cm shelf leaves 65 cm aisle
3. Doors need to be at least 90 cm in the plan
4. What is that next to the bathroom? A balcony?

Overall very suboptimal. As a small tip, search for Home by me. It is an online tool where you can also work with wall thicknesses and have a 3D function and you can also furnish. Maybe then some things will become clear.

Briefly on this: our current bedroom is 14 sqm and completely sufficient as a BEDroom

And, pantry 100 cm deep, you can't even put a freezer cabinet or something there because the door won't open.

And, if you add wall thicknesses, the house already has exterior dimensions of 12x12 m.

Of course, that is individual! You emphasize the SLEEP part especially. I totally agree with you—if you limit the bedroom strongly to sleeping, then you don’t need a large area. I would do it the same way.

But why does someone plan a separate dressing room? There must be good reasons for that; after all, it’s not without reason. What is the benefit behind it, and do I realize this benefit with the planned floor plan? I imagine that someone wants a dressing room because they have a lot of clothes. Because they are interested in clothing and/or want to "celebrate" dressing more, want to present clothing better, want to enjoy it more. Maybe one gets up earlier than their partner and therefore doesn’t want to disturb them, so the dressing is supposed to happen somewhere else. Can you do that with the shown floor plan? No. The only benefit, in the shown form, is in my opinion "I have a dressing room." Nothing more.

The same applies to the discussed pantry. It is present in the plan, yes, but the benefit still approaches zero.

To put it directly, for me the planning approach is simply wrong. Many pictures from different sources have already been shown, displaying single elements that one finds nice. These are lined up, and then you get a fairly "individual" floor plan. You sew many goodies together and what comes out? Lack of concept.

Why is the access to the kitchen/dining/living room on the ground floor, for example, made with two doors? Simply straighten the wall in which the access door is located. Saves one door, reduces the hallway, enlarges the dining area. Sure, then the niche for placing the TV furniture disappears...
