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

Floor plan is liked, are dimensions according to standards okay? Is the open space structurally feasible? Layout okay? Living area should be max. 140 m² (1,507 sq ft), which was challenging with 4 rooms.

Thanks in advance.

Here is the current floor plan, adapted to the plot. Inspiration from Fjorborg with an open ridge/air space and roof windows. Rebuilt using solid masonry load-bearing construction.

At the end of the bed in the bedroom, the passage would be too narrow for my liking. There is effectively only about 55cm (22 inches) of space. The distance between the wardrobes in the walk-in closet is also quite limited.

Is the dining table really meant to be placed where it is currently shown on the plan?

I like it. However, I don’t see any indication of the cardinal directions.
I would add a bit more space to the walk-in closet and reduce the size of the bathroom slightly or enlarge the house. Around 20cm (8 inches) should be enough.

The utility room is clearly too small. Does that thing have to be in the kitchen? What is it? An elevator to hell?

Side-by-side refrigerator?

I would plan a U-shaped kitchen and cancel the recess in the utility room. A side by side refrigerator can also be placed against a straight wall—most likely even integrated into the kitchen run. This way, you stay flexible with the layout and keep the important space in the utility room.
