- Architect, floor plan originated from the house builder, modified according to our ideas.
What do you particularly like? Why? Layout of the ground floor, orientation, kitchen possibly different
What do you not like? Still undecided whether the kitchen should be closed off with a sliding door or more open.
In the bathroom, a strip of windows on the eaves side between the bathtub and shower is planned.
Possibly an additional window in each children’s room on the eaves sides.
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 340,000 including incidental building costs
Personal price limit for the house, including fittings: 375,000
Preferred heating system: Air-to-water heat pump, possibly expandable with photovoltaic

and his bed fits well underneath there, including a small cabinet on the side.
He likes to curl up when things get too overwhelming.
Most likely, he ends up sleeping somewhere completely different than planned, in the most uncomfortable spots.

I'm not sure if I understood that correctly.
Where is the window?
Something like this? (see attachment) Yes, something like that. A fixed window pane, for example frosted glass, where the door used to be. That lets light into the hallway!
Now about the kitchen door... others will have to say which way the door should open. I would almost suggest the other way around.
Try drawing in a nice kitchen. If you place an island opposite the door with a shelf or display cabinet at the front, entering the room works very well. I would even add a patio door to the kitchen.
How about deepening the wardrobe by 60cm (24 inches) — yes, it will extend into the kitchen as a recess — then you'll have enough space for seasonal clothing for three people...
In the kitchen, there will be one spot without a cabinet, but that creates room for a pinboard or similar.

Then there’s the issue of working in the bedroom and having to walk through it to get to the clothes. I thought you didn’t want one? Fine, then have the door from the hallway. But you can still move the wall.

The kneewall height of 2m (6 ft 7 in) is very important for us because of our height.Are you Olivia Jones and Ulrike Meyfarth?By the way, your floor plan reminds me of this thread: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/efh-ca-140-m-2-Kinderzimmer-was-haltet-ihr-vom-Grundriss.28383/page-4 – apart from the different orientation of the carport, I feel like I’ve seen this before.

I really like the version with the door from the hallway to the open kitchen so far.
