I hope everything is clearly visible.
Kind regards and many thanks in advance.

You’re scaring me...
But the second one is from the architect...
That will be someone who only has the role of “architect.” Are you building with a construction manager, general contractor, or whatever they might be called?

alteringelsocke14 Oct 2013 14:36Actually, it was originally planned for everything to go through the architect... who would obtain the permits and oversee the construction supervision, well, something like that... but by now, I have to say I'm starting to have doubts.
I don’t like your design:
The bedroom is completely awkwardly shaped. Where are you going to put a 2x2 meter (6.5 x 6.5 foot) bed in there? Is there no window in the bedroom? And yet the walk-in closet has a window? Just get rid of the useless walk-in closet and create a nice room instead.
Where is south on the plan? Where is north? The living room is very large, but the access doors to other rooms (utility room) come off it? That will be a bit inconvenient.
Your bedroom is basically built into the hallway – you won’t be able to sleep quietly there.

There are far too many missing details and specifications. Moving a wall isn’t enough. As Wastl already mentioned...
Why don’t you like some of the floor plans you find online from many providers? A bungalow doesn’t offer much flexibility—unless your budget is quite large—or unless you have a lot of options with the floor area ratio or the size of the plot itself. If you can build 200 square meters (2,150 square feet) with a budget of 400,000, of course you have more options. Where are the limits in width and length, in floor area ratio? Where should the driveway go? Which direction is south? What are your basic requirements? How do you live? How old are the children? Do you prefer spacious rooms with large windows, or rather compact and small spaces?
From your floor plans, it’s clear they were created without a concept or proper knowledge. Designing a house is more than just putting rooms next to each other and adding recesses where no door otherwise fits.

alteringelsocke15 Oct 2013 10:24I don’t like many of them because the living rooms have a huge hallway, and I don’t want that...
The house should be about 130m2 (1400 sq ft) in total, and the rooms should be sufficient for a household of four people.
Regarding the plot, the shape of the floor plan shown in the photos fits best. So approximately 13m (43 feet) long and 14m (46 feet) wide.
North is where the bedrooms and children’s rooms are located on our drawing.

North is where the bedrooms and children's rooms are on our plan ... then, logically, your living room is also facing north!
With three bedrooms on one level along with the living area, you can’t avoid having a hallway if you want to preserve privacy and personal space for everyone. This requires a sleeping wing. You can work around this by creating a parents’ wing (accessible from the living area) and a separate children’s wing closer to the entrance.
Other ideas on how to solve this can be found, for example, in houses like Danwood, Danwood Cube 125, or Brave 176. Floor plans from other houses often work well with different roof coverings.
In general, I would first orient the living areas to the south or west...
