YPG, why shouldn't the kitchen be where it is? We solved it similarly at our place. A 4-gable house and in one gable we have the kitchen, and the living-dining area is also on the side across the entire width of the house. Only the stairs and the other rooms we solved differently.
Exilhamburger:
I don’t like this hallway upstairs. Long, narrow, and dark. Unfortunately, many still think that a hallway is wasted space. But that is not the case. In our hallway upstairs we have space for a wardrobe, shoe cabinet, and mirror. I would leave out the small hobby room and just have a large hallway here or separate it from the hallway only by a half-height partition wall. That would make it feel much more open.
The dressing room will be quite dark, you will need artificial light here even during the day to see something.
For child 1 you don’t have a good spot for the wardrobe. Either you run straight into the wardrobe when you open the door or you block the window. As nice as big windows are, windows and doors should always be planned with a distance of 65cm from the wall to leave space for furniture.
Do you have a basement? If not, then the utility room will be quite small. If the technology and washing machine are in there, there won’t be much space left for anything else.
And I also see the problem in your living room that you always have to walk around the table to get to the terrace. I find that very impractical, especially with children or when you have celebrations.
For your guest WC I would move the door to the other side of the wall. That would create a nice niche for a cabinet or a coat rack on the right side of the hallway wall, and in the guest bathroom you would also have the opportunity to put a cabinet or some hooks for towels and bathrobes behind the door.
