Single-family house floor plan - looking for two options, tips, and experiences

If a choice must be made only between these two variants, I find the one with the less complex floor plan outline (front door at the bottom of the plan) relatively better executed.

Absolutely speaking, I find both designs still far from being ready for implementation. I see conspicuously large disproportions between very generous nominal room areas on the one hand and quite poor furniture arrangements on the other. Listing these in detail would go beyond the scope, so here are just some extreme examples: the children's rooms are small halls if you only look at the surface dimensions - yet no wardrobes fit behind the doors. The fat five-meter-wide Cinemascope lift-and-slide door steals more wall space from the room than the panorama it brings in – and makes it appear smaller because it shifts the sense of scale.

The designs strike me as having been created in a "3D" program by someone who unfortunately lacks much spatial feeling personally. This may possibly also be a cause of the awkward area sizes.

Thank you for the comments! Phew, we haven't signed yet and have already been working on it forever. The company is also slowly getting impatient, but we just can't get a floor plan without headaches. However, detailed planning has not been done yet; that is supposed to take place after the signature.

- Doors for the dressing room: I will include them. At the moment we have it like that and it doesn't bother us at all.

- The door in the guest room suddenly disappeared; it was in there before.
- The utility room is the technical room, the requirement is that it is accessible from the street. I would like to have it completely outsourced, but apparently that's not possible.

- Moving the door and window in the office because of the cabinets sounds good.

- Other window placements were chosen by the planner so that it looks good from the outside. We haven't dealt with it inside the children's room yet.

: which floor sizes are meant?
The question is, what can we do to make it better.
If I were to create the plan, it probably wouldn't be much better, because I have no spatial imagination at all. And exactly the window/furniture situation in the living room is what's being asked about. What can be done?

The "square meters" of the floor areas of the rooms are meant. According to the numbers, they are generous, but if you build what is planned, it will not be reflected in the spatial experience.

Being an amateur is no shame; that is why the professional should have the necessary "knack for it." This is probably not really the case here.

But you do have furniture and a "tape measure." Lay out such a two-meter stick somewhere where you can see it from the sofa. Then imagine it two and a half times as long; that would correspond to the five meters width of the sliding door. After that, go measure in your apartment.

For example, take Anton’s current room and determine how big it is. And the bathroom. Now you can put all sizes into familiar relations, i.e., convert all areas in the plan into units from your experiential world (for example, in Anton’s room and in the bathroom).

Next, take painter’s tape and mark off the area in the living room corresponding to the future dining area (table with chairs pushed back). Leave it like that for a few days and train your sense for the "real spatial value" of a square meter.

A week later, you will be spatially competent enough to give your planner a piece of your mind.
