We have purchased our building plot and have just received the drawings from our architect.
I wanted to gather some opinions and suggestions. Perhaps you have some ideas or feedback.
We also received another version of the plans with the same layout, but 1 meter (3 feet) shorter in length and 0.5 meter (20 inches) less in depth, although the floor plan remains the same.
We are considering positioning the house angled toward the street and orienting it more toward the south. The zoning plan / building permit allows this.
The stream on the property is piped underground, and building is permitted up to the stream boundary, provided no structural loads are placed over it. A terrace is allowed in that area.

Exactly, the "hallway can’t be made smaller" (but that’s just the floor area) means that you can’t just cut into it (therefore: only a redesign remains).

For me, the floor plan is fine as it is, offering several furnishing options. The living room on the left would be my TV/projector wall, with less window reflection and a view from the kitchen possible, and better acoustics for the system throughout the open-plan space. From the sofa, you can see both the garden and the TV. The TV/relaxation chair would be at the top, and the dining table placed either crosswise or lengthwise depending on the number of guests. When we have a full house (14 people), we always rearrange the table.
A 40m² (430 sq ft) hallway/gallery area is quite large. If that's what you want, sure, but how often will you actually spend time there? I would rather make each of the children’s rooms 5m² (54 sq ft) bigger – at least they would benefit from that.
Edit: Why three bathrooms? You don’t even have a child at the moment. Even if two are planned, that doesn’t mean all four people will use the bathrooms at the same time.
