Hello, after much back and forth, I have decided to share our current floor plan here and am now looking forward to your opinions.
A brief explanation of our building project: our entire daily life is planned to take place on the ground floor.
The attic is initially intended to be used only as storage space. It will be developed further if needed (for example, when children arrive). Connections for water, wastewater, and electricity will be pre-installed, and it will, of course, be insulated. The screed will also be installed at this stage.
As it is well known that after a while you no longer see the forest for the trees, I look forward to your feedback. What could be improved, what works well.

What do you particularly like? The layout of the private rooms (bedroom, office, bathroom) and the spacious entrance area

Why? The private rooms are more or less separated from the living area.

The only thing I am not 100% happy with is the placement of the fireplace.

Preferred heating technology: liquid gas

What is important to us: open living/dining area, closed kitchen with a small pantry, directly attached double garage.

Why does the design look the way it does?

A mix of many examples and advice from former homeowners

Here are the site plan, floor plan, and house elevation

I like your idea of the extended roof; I will implement that.
Where did I miss that?

A bungalow wouldn’t work? I get the feeling that your planning doesn’t really match your needs, which is making it unnecessarily expensive.

Yes, that would be the most sensible option.

I have now also reinforced the 30-degree roof slope, which then resulted in the attic. I think the best option will be to contact the architect directly. Nevertheless, thank you for the many tips.

Would a bungalow not be possible?
But it IS a bungalow (with an unnecessarily large attic space).
