If you have to give up something, which details/extensions?

I would discuss the costs in more detail with the architect. €300,000 will definitely not be enough, and with the mentioned €350,000, I still don’t see a garage included.
Is another child planned?I calculated the total square meters at €1,800 per m² (without garage) and arrive at €315,000. So €35,000 for a double garage is not realistic?
Children are planned.
The construction project will not be fully outsourced. Much of the work will be done with involvement from others. Our circle of friends includes various trades (carpentry, electrical, interior finishing).
Regards
What about additional construction costs? Fixtures like a new kitchen? Landscaping?
Regardless of whether 1,800 is enough, the items mentioned above are not included in that amount.
Doing it yourself also involves material costs. Besides that, only you can assess whether your friends will work for free in their spare time, and if so, how much.

AleHer020930 Jan 2019 17:19The budget should not really be the main focus here, but I think that 300,000 - 350,000 for the house including the garage "in a rural area," calculated at 1,800 per m² (18.7 per ft²), is a reasonable estimate. I could be wrong, but I’m happy to share my calculations with you.

5) Why should there be more insulation there? Isn't the insulation of the exterior walls sufficient? So your water pipes inside the walls don't freeze during winter. Have you checked the wall thickness of the guest toilet? At the moment, it looks like it's just "paper-thin walls."

I might be wrong, but I’m happy to share my calculations with you..Even in rural areas, there are additional construction-related costs, and they are not insignificant. These are often overlooked.
