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

Are there any experiences with the Vaillant flexotherm exclusive with uniSTOR 300 l (79 gal)?

Vinyl flooring or parquet?

Ceiling spotlights in the hallway loft from Werkaus, or better to install yourself?

I would really appreciate tips and your opinions about the floor plan!

Best regards, Eckert

Without dimensions, the floor plan is very difficult to understand.

OK, here it is again with measurements.
I must have overlooked them.

Why are you planning the house layout like this? I would rotate it 90°. The nice south corner is blocked by the garage. The east side is shaded by the carport.

I find the kitchen layout inefficient in terms of movement, and where is the seating area supposed to go?

The bedroom layout seems uncomfortable to me. I would design the closet area near the entrance first, so you don't have to step over the bed when entering. It’s also more practical if someone sleeps in longer or is sick. In that case, the closets remain accessible.

I find the kitchen layout requires a lot of walking, and where would you put a seating area?

I also find the bedroom layout uncomfortable. I would plan the wardrobe area right at the entrance, so you don’t have to step over the bed when entering. It’s also more practical if someone sleeps late or is unwell, as the wardrobes remain accessible.

If we rotate it 90 degrees, we would have quite a few windows facing north. Yes, the carport is currently optional, and I’m not completely happy with the possible shading effect either.

The kitchen has only one main work line and the built-in niche opposite; the L-shape is omitted, so a small seating area with a table could be planned there.

When rotating the layout, of course, the rooms need to be planned differently ... entrance, utility room, bathrooms, and master bedroom more towards the north.

If you plan the kitchen that way, you basically end up with two dining areas almost right next to each other. I also find the dining area in the "dining room" quite uncomfortable, as it is located in a passageway.
