Entrance facing southThat’s quite a statement. 😉 Thank you.
In that case, I consider the entire design a planning mistake.
Namely because:
…I have to assume a standard plot since no specific plot is provided… the west side is the shaded side of a house, and orientations apparently have not been considered at all in this plan.
Bathroom on the upper floor in the southwest, as well as the office in the south and west… I would rather arrange the living and common rooms on the ground floor facing south and west in an L-shape. Further conclusions will follow.

Then you end up with an 18 sqm (193 sq ft) "soda room." Nowadays, a roof terrace and balcony are a luxury—unless you have a lot of extra money—that are rarely used later on.
...An 18 sqm (193 sq ft) space could then be used for a small wellness area. That would also make the roof terrace more meaningful (see @matte1987). It would be preferable to place it in the studio... but at least it’s a starting point.Warning: This post may contain traces of irony!

Warning: This post may contain traces of irony!Exactly. And a playroom, plus a hobby room and a huge living room. And then come with a $500k budget.
Of course, everything is possible, but the right budget should be there as well...

- Leave out the balcony. If you have a terrace, you will hardly ever use the balcony, especially if it faces the street.
- Skip the studio and rooftop terrace. The same applies to the rooftop terrace as to the balcony. In our neighborhood, four houses have a rooftop terrace, and all residents agree they wouldn’t build one again, as they always use the regular terrace anyway.
- Omit the "relax" area. You have a large living room. Instead, I would make the children's bedrooms bigger and place the small bathroom on the upper floor between the children's rooms. The toilet, sink, and shower are directly adjacent to your bedroom. If one of the teenage children comes home late on weekends or has guests, you will hear everything.
- You have three showers. Two are more than enough for four people, who will soon be fewer.
