The design reminds me of holiday homes in Dutch holiday parks. If you don’t have too much stuff to store, the floor plan is super efficient. I wouldn’t worry about the vehicle access, because as a reasonably skilled driver you get used to tight or special drives. Our driveway is "special", tends to be inconvenient to drive, and it doesn’t bother us at all. Some guests are afraid, they just park down on the street and walk to the house.

Holiday homes in Holland even tend to go more towards 70-80 sqm. And even those still work with two kids. But yes, there's no storage space left, and a lot of things happen outside. In winter, it gets cozy then...

So were settler houses from the 50s to 70s, but they always had either a shed or a cellar or often both, plus of course 1000 sqm of land with a stable for the pig or the chickens. So you still need to add storage space, the attic is suitable, as well as a [Biohort Haus] in the garden.

Here would be the mentioned curve where the driveway would be located.

I have placed the house on the plot. So it fits.
I would rotate it like this, if financially possible, to add some windows here and there, including in the stairwell area, to let the house benefit from sunlight. If that is not desired, orient it as you want. But just the direct location of the utility room for access makes things a lot easier. And yes: swap the living room with the kitchen so that the kitchen is by the terrace and the chill lounge is protected.
However, I actually noticed that windows are missing. The closed walls can feel quite confining quickly.
With the example carport location, the house and garden are protected from the curve and passing cars (headlights), yet south and west-facing windows bring enough light into the house.

Regarding the windows: another builder might pay off here, where windows are not so stingily planned in the construction specification. Our general contractor was not much more expensive than Town & Country, okay a little, yet we were able to make full use of the windows, which makes the house more valuable.

I don't think windows are that expensive if you plan to add some. Of course, windows are always useful; you just have to see where possible, and you can probably fit another one in at some points. The space is tight, especially if you plan not only a sofa and table but maybe also a shelf or something similar, it gets cramped. I see the living (couch) area rather critically; if you want to put a fireplace there, it will be tight (and probably hot), since the sofa is supposed to stand right next to the fireplace. Also, having a TV between the dining table and the sofa is more a matter of taste; it might bother me. I also see the distance from the TV to the couch as about 3.5 meters, which is not ideal.
