Is the dining table really supposed to be placed where it is currently drawn?
No, the large dining table with 8 chairs is planned to be in the center of the room. A kitchen island (1.80 m long and 1.20 m deep) (5 ft 11 in long and 3 ft 11 in deep) along the wall visually separates the kitchen from the living room. I have drawn this in the plan (without dimensions).
The fireplace shown also serves as a room divider.
I couldn’t convince my husband against the side-by-side refrigerator. It wouldn’t have fit into the kitchen unit with upper cabinets since the oven and pull-out pantry didn’t leave enough space. According to the architect, the utility room of 7.3 m² (79 sq ft) is completely sufficient, as I expressed my concerns.
The house is primarily oriented according to the sun’s path. I have marked the cardinal directions. The terrace is not facing south because there is a semi-detached house located there.

I couldn't talk my husband out of getting the side-by-side refrigerator. Weak choice. Does he at least cook regularly?
And does he at least get his beer or wine himself in the evening when sitting on the couch?
That’s about a half-day hike around the island to the fridge... or are you planning a small fridge directly in the living room for that?
I find the kitchen quite impractical; the two kitchen rows are spaced too far apart. It’s not just a quick turn from one to the other, but a little trek as well. However, I’ve seen this here before—some people apparently plan their fitness routines for life through such designs. I’m just lazy...
The living room seems oddly arranged too—where is the TV? In the cabinet opposite the stove? That would give you a stiff neck after watching the evening news every day, wouldn’t it? From an orthopedic perspective, I wouldn’t recommend watching TV for extended periods anyway.
Lots of space—but used suboptimally (to put it kindly).
How about placing the workspace where the kitchen currently is, moving the partition wall to the private area parallel to the void above the dining area (is that actually a void space or just beams?), keeping the table, putting the kitchen where the living room is now, and creating a cozy living room in the corner where the workspace is currently?
Where to put the stove then would still need some thought. I’m not a big fan of having the kitchen between the living and dining areas, but given this layout, nothing better comes to mind right away.
As it is now, I find it totally impractical with lots of wasted space, making everything quite uncomfortable.

Of course, the large sliding door currently in the dining area could be moved to the adjacent wall, and then the kitchen could be relocated to where the dining space is now, maintaining a galley kitchen layout with a maximum of 130cm (51 inches) between the two rows. There would also be a patio door leading out to the terrace there. The dining area would shift to the south side (currently the living room), placed in front of the large sliding door located there, and the living room would be where the workspace is currently. Having direct terrace access from the kitchen would also be a major advantage here.
