ᐅ Bungalow Floor Plan with Gable Roof – Potential for Improvement?

Hello
Attached is our floor plan for a bungalow with a pitched roof (storage space under the pitched roof).
The kitchen and bathroom fittings are yet to be planned. Only the room sizes are defined. Doors can still be moved slightly.
At the staircase area, a small entrance hall can optionally be installed (less heating required). The terrace will be semicircular at the front, so slightly larger.
The main focus should be on interior optimization.
The maximum width of the floor plan is fully used – unfortunately. One meter (about 3 feet) more would have been better.
What else could be improved?
I have attached the plan as a PDF and JPG.
Thanks

What do you dislike? Why? – Master bedroom suboptimal
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 300,000
Personal price limit for the house, including fixtures and fittings: 300,000
Preferred heating technology: To be developed with building services engineer – energy planner

Why did the design turn out this way, for example:
Standard plan from the architect? – No, our wishes were taken into account
Which wishes were implemented by the architect?
Quiet area partly copied from a prefab house provider

Master bedroom with continuous wardrobe wall – passage from bed to wardrobe too narrow (only about 50 cm (20 inches)) ...

The house was extended by 1 meter (3 feet) because it felt a bit too small for us.
Somehow, we ended up discarding that idea because the kids’ room would be right next to the living room, so there would be no quiet area. The living-dining area was also too small for us. We will dig out the design again and see if it’s possible to swap the children’s and parents’ rooms.
Unfortunately, the curve at the bottom right of the plan is not very good for the layout. You need to maintain a 3-meter (10 feet) distance from that edge, so the house can’t be made wider at that spot...

We “piecemealed” these two designs... or rather, made things worse while trying to improve them.
Our favorite was option 2. We only wanted to move the staircase more into the hallway so that the kid could go up and down without disturbance later on.
Today, I think the architects’ original proposal is better than our version.

Without knowing the background, it seems to me that you actually want two floors: living space on the ground floor and a quiet area upstairs. A staircase is going to be installed anyway. If the building regulations / planning permission allow it, I really wonder why you don’t build a 1.5-pitch gable roof.
We do not want two floors but a single-story layout. A bungalow with a shallow pitched gable roof with a roof pitch of 25° (25 degrees). Only the junior will later have a kind of studio under the roof on the south side (about 35 m² (375 sq ft)). The north side will be used for storage (also about 35 m² (375 sq ft)) and usable.

(the blank lines were to let that sink in). I would rather move the bedroom upstairs as well and avoid giving the junior a second room, to prevent cramped space downstairs.
