Single-family house, opinion on floor plan design

Thank you for the feedback. Attached are three views, unfortunately there is no site plan yet. Regarding the windows, I am aware, our planner prefers strip windows. I have also noticed the issue with the TV, but so far I don’t have a solution. You? We quite like the two doors of the bathroom, what is bad about them? What do you mean, give the hallway to the children's room? Pull everything further in and thus make the hallway narrower? Thank you Honk P.S. the office also serves as a guest room.

I also like horizontal light strips. You get light but lose little or no space. However, I don't see any advantage in vertical ones here. Maybe it's just a matter of taste.

I can't think of a couch/TV solution off the top of my head either.

2 doors in the bathroom always means 2 doors to close and open and possibly standing in front of a locked door. Within the family circle that might still work if you don't lock, but the children get older. They have visitors, etc.
Since the doors ([Ankleide/Bad]) are right next to each other, I don't see a real advantage in the 2nd door. I would rather put a shelf there for towels, cosmetics, etc.

I would prefer that one children's room up to the stairs. If possible, maybe even further to the north wall. So you enter the room straight ahead. With the space gained, possibly redivide the two children's rooms. The hallway area is otherwise very large but useless. Or as an alternative, widen the hallway at the back, thus removing the open space. This could possibly create a play or reading corner.

Thank you for the response. I will definitely consider enlarging the children's room or omitting the air space. And also about the two doors for the bathroom. If you think of anything else regarding the TV, let me know.

For an assessment, a site plan and neighboring buildings would be necessary to understand the reasons why which solution was found.

At first, one seems to drive towards a monster of a garage, behind which a building is hidden. Its entrance is additionally concealed. (Additional path / access from the other side?) Let's see how many people look for a doorbell at the utility room door.

Then the building is elongated, but this is hardly noticeable inside the building except for the corridors. The kitchen area is square, living and dining as well.

The cloakroom is rather small and dark inside.
Living is, as already posted, impractical. With the large plot, it must be possible to design planning and garden area so that interesting views can be created. But in the living area, you look inside or only far outside, and from the dining area, you look at the driveway.

The upper floor is probably the result of a strange prioritization.
A lot of space for the hallway, little space for children, a lot of space for parents, no children's bathroom on the floor despite plenty of square meters and money...

... despite plenty of square meters and money...

Yes, that's what I thought this afternoon as well. I would be interested to know where the entrance is, why a long design is forced onto an almost square plot.
I like elongated narrow houses, as I once searched for narrow plot gaps for years and dealt with this... but an entrance that is deliberately hidden in a corner... I ask myself: why? Why must you pass a car parked in the carport to ring the doorbell? Are scratches supposed to decorate the driver's side???

The hallway overwhelms me a bit, where am I supposed to go? From the gut feeling, I would swap the workroom with the utility room (don’t ask me why), work can of course also be used as a guest room, the rest on the ground floor interests me... I could imagine feeling comfortable in it if it weren't for the hallway.

Upper floor: yes... hmm... I agree with the previous speakers about the second door in the bathroom... haha, the one lying on the left has a chic view into the bathroom... who do you think will slam the door more often: the one seeking emergency or the one seeking peace... @TE: find out the reason for this door.
You don’t have children yet? Neither do I... but you can clearly see the situation of parents/bathroom upstairs! Nobody needs a connecting balcony from parents to children (over the bathroom)! With over 2,000 sqm plot you also don’t need a balcony, but because of the sauna it might have its justification. But consider: children will also be brought up to go to the sauna, and they will become independent: do you then want that in front of the bedroom window? Certainly not just for yourself!
The access from the dressing room to the bedroom is well solved, but is neutralized again by this bathroom door no one needs. Treat yourselves to a great graphic on this wall, maybe a TV later, but leave out this disturbing door.

Maybe there are 2-3 more things that don’t come to mind now... I think I asked myself about the statics in the hallway and the position of the washbasin on the upper floor... that wasn’t so great, but can be changed.
: better than the design from early 2013, much better!

I quickly made a site plan including the house itself this morning. The yellow area is the driveway. The property is located in a valley and is bordered on one side by a stream and on the other by a forest, also at the back. The sun only comes from the front, which is why the balcony and terrace are there. You might be able to understand the floor plan better now.
