I like the upper floor much better now. But unfortunately, there are no storage areas or utility rooms. Such a large house, yet so little 'space'.

Apparently, nothing was understood regarding the constructive criticism…!

I’m not really a fan of these symmetrical facades, but they do have their merits, and if you like them, that’s what matters. Personally, I would feel comfortable with this floor plan—everything is spacious and bright, including the master area. The walk-in closet is lovely. I don’t have the cardinal directions in mind right now (unfortunately, the north arrow is missing from the floor plan!), but would it perhaps make sense to mirror the upper floor plan so that the relaxation corner and bedroom are positioned away from the street and parking areas?

I tried to implement a few things. Is it better now?
Personally, I prefer the gable roof over the hip roof, and it’s 10 times better than the half-hip with the roof terrace.
Will the "porch" also have a roof? Maybe some kind of dormer like on a Frisian house?

First of all, the principle that "the dose makes the poison" also applies to symmetry. Also, the main thing should remain the main thing. It becomes problematic when symmetry is elevated to a supposed cardinal virtue and placed at the top of the priority list. Symmetry can emerge naturally, but it should not be the primary design principle. In this case, symmetry is exaggerated "only" in the building mass, while strictness takes precedence in the facades.

What do you mean by "some kind of dormer" like on the extension of a Frisian house?

I mean that "front extension" with a real roof.

Brick house with dark tiled roof, central front extension, two white windows, entrance door; sunflower on the left.
