What is the most important / basic question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?

I would simply like to know if at first or second glance the layout could be more functional. Thank you very much.

Try to avoid having the children's room share a wall with the kitchen area. I had this in my childhood bedroom. By the time I was a teenager, it became a nightmare whenever my father (an early riser) started the coffee machine at 7 a.m. on weekends and arranged the dishes on the granite countertop.
Every time, I was sitting upright in bed!

Not bad, Mrs. Specht. Also economical to build, with a hip roof.

There could be some savings if, instead of the internal corner, the wall were simply extended diagonally and a large door-window unit installed there. On the outside, this would leave only a single open seating area. It depends on the cost impact. Also, for the windows, aim for a uniform standard size around 100 cm (40 inches) wall opening, which later allows for standard pleated blinds from stores like Ikea or Danish bed retailers. Otherwise, this is the best idea so far in this thread. K.

What I find bothersome about this floor plan is that the dining table is placed too far from the windows, in the "dark corner" of the open living area. In my opinion, a dining or kitchen table should be located close to a window to maximize natural daylight as much as possible.

Something like this:

Floor plan of a house: garage on the left, office, technical room, entrance hall, corridor, bathroom, and open living/dining area.

Still too many? Actually, I only planned a small extra corridor for Leo. The rest is as before. But I have no idea about the total square meters. It would be helpful if the original poster could provide the external dimensions of their design.
