Client Requirements
Architectural style, roof type, building type: Swedish log house
Basement, floors: 1.5 floors with basement

Room requirements on ground and upper floors: see floor plan
Office: to be used as a home office and, if needed, as a guest room (sofa bed)
Overnight guests per year: approx. 10
Open or closed architecture: still open, tendency towards open architecture
Conservative or modern design: conservative, Swedish house
Open kitchen, kitchen island:
Number of dining seats: 6 (extendable table; then 8-10 seats)
Fireplace: yes, masonry stove or fireplace in the living room
Music/stereo wall: no need
Balcony, roof terrace: no need
Garage, carport: 2 parking spaces as carport on east side
Kitchen garden, greenhouse: vegetable patch and possibly a small greenhouse in the garden later
House Design
Designer: So far self-designed, based on show homes and catalogs.
Price estimate according to architect/planner: no estimate yet
Personal price limit for house including fixtures: 350,000-400,000 (plot already owned)
Preferred heating system: district heating
The current draft was created based on various show homes and manufacturer catalogs. What I liked well in the show homes has been incorporated into the floor plan. For example, the bathroom design in a T-shape; shower and toilet are hidden left and right behind the T. Unfortunately, my current drawing tool does not allow furnishing. I have to print the plans and add furniture layouts by hand. A furnished floor plan will follow.
I think the floor plan shows the intended rooms and the desired space requirements.
I hope this now provides a better working basis!

Since when has it actually been possible to completely delete posts afterwards? I thought that was only allowed for a few minutes? For a few weeks now. Nonsense!
Dear OP,
As you can see, open spaces or galleries are not highly favored here. There are pros and cons, and it ultimately comes down to personal preference. We have seen (and heard ) several houses with open spaces, and we liked them. You might want to upload your floor plan again on Hou*z, where you can also find some layouts that deviate from the usual standard (I hope I am not breaking any forum rules or offending anyone).
In principle, you should not dismiss the concerns. Think carefully about what you want, whether it fits your budget, and if it will be practical in everyday life or if you can live with the compromises.
For example, it has already been mentioned that the rooms on the upper floor become significantly smaller due to the gallery. If you want that, then build it that way—it’s your house! But then you also have to live with children spending more time in the living room or, possibly, complaining about their rooms as they grow older There are solutions for this, too: friends of ours moved their bedroom to the attic. This also has its own advantages and disadvantages. The decision is yours to make.

@South … what you’re saying isn’t supported by any evidence.
A gallery … yes, you can include galleries, but only if the other rooms can be furnished reasonably first. And with the way the floor plan is designed, none of the rooms are really suitable for furnishing, which is probably why no furniture is shown in the plan.
Also, the original poster has been largely silent about the purpose of their house. Therefore, it would be up to @Admin to close this thread.
