The idea isn’t bad. I would skip this second hallway: you could access the bedroom and bathroom through a centrally located walk-in closet. Since nothing is fixed yet, the rest can still be adjusted.We had this idea as well but discarded it because the bedroom should not only be accessible through the walk-in closet.

What does Scanhaus Marlow Marlow say about changing the floor plan? As far as I know, they charge well for every window and any wall relocation. Changing the exterior walls isn’t possible. Or is it now?Changing the walls is not an option with Scanhaus Marlow Marlow. We have decided against the company’s offer because changes to the interior walls were not included (which could mean huge costs), and overall the offer seemed too expensive for the quality. We are now in contact with a local solid construction company. They don’t have a sales department — we talked directly with the architect. This should help save costs. Scanhaus Marlow Marlow scored points for transparency and good floor plans, but that was about it.

I don’t see any adjustments except that the desks have been rearranged. Hard to tell if any 2mm (about 0.1 inch) was added somewhere.
Off-topic: The software looks a lot like Architekt 3D. Try selecting manual dimensioning in the top left corner and enter clearances between narrow spaces.
And while we’re at it, let’s look at the 3D view and walk through the bathroom. How does it feel? Just cramped and oppressive, right? I would remove the “T” shape. Better to install a nice corner bathtub, for example.
Similar with the laundry room. If the technical equipment is going there, 6m² (about 65 sq ft) feels like lifelong torture.
Also, avoid uploading images as PDFs, since very few can view those. JPG or PNG formats are much better.Thanks for the tips, the floor plan is now being done professionally. I will then upload it as a JPG.
If we do without the slanted wall, the bathroom will be much larger than the office...
We hope the architect might have some suggestions. The utility room is too narrow as well. Possibly the living area will have to be smaller.

I find this slanted wall between the bathroom and office unnecessary, no, actually impractical—especially with the desks rearranged:
Make the wall straight, then the bathroom has more space. Put the filing cabinet against the wall by the toilet, move the door a bit more to the left side of the plan, then the entire wall can hold a filing cabinet.
Can someone clarify what the two rooms on the right side of the plan are for? I think one is the technical room, but what about the other? A guest room with two beds???
Or storage? That would be necessary.
Also, I would add a door before the private area, so you could do without the sliding door between the walk-in closet and bedroom (because otherwise you can sneak naked from the bedroom to the bathroom unnoticed) and gain about one more meter of closet space. Maybe consider swapping the bedroom and walk-in closet; that would probably be better for noise control in the bedroom.
Or put the bedroom where the bathroom is (unfortunately no north arrow visible), and the bathroom to the south. Personally, I would prefer the bathroom to have natural daylight rather than the bedroom.
Overall, I think the private area could be optimized a lot.
But first, that horrible slanted wall needs to go, which unnecessarily shrinks the bathroom and doesn’t bring any benefit to the office.That is a guest room.
Certainly better for noise control, but isn't a walk-in closet that also serves as the access to the bedroom somewhat impractical?

Using the closet as a small entrance area to the bedroom makes more sense and is more considerate.
The design isn’t that great to be considered set in stone and copied by another company.

The main purpose of entering or leaving the bedroom through the walk-in closet is exactly what the closet is for. Otherwise, you might as well just put a wardrobe directly in the bedroom. ?????
On the contrary, the primary purpose of a walk-in closet is to keep the wardrobe out of the bedroom—whether to avoid disturbing someone who is still sleeping with a fashion show and/or because the desired amount of closet space would overwhelm the bedroom. Giving the bedroom a sort of anteroom doesn’t really make sense. Even if a CEO sleeps there: I don’t understand clothes acting as a gatekeeper to the bedroom.

See, I told you?
A walk-in closet is basically just a larger wardrobe. If I don’t want to disturb the person sleeping, I shouldn’t have to walk through the bedroom after getting dressed. So the walk-in closet should be designed as a pass-through room for entering and exiting.
