Hello everyone and Happy New Year.
I have been following along for quite some time since my partner (31) and I (33) are now ready to start building our house.
For the past few weeks, I have been working on the floor plan and would appreciate some feedback—perhaps you will spot areas for improvement. North is at the top of the site plan.

EveundGerd4 Feb 2016 12:20I like the floor plan better than before, but I find the walkway area in the utility room to be a waste of space. Is it absolutely necessary to have an exit there?
The peninsula in the kitchen takes up a lot of space, which makes the layout feel quite cramped.
Is the pantry essential, or could you do without it in favor of a larger kitchen? With 10.5 m² (113 sq ft) and suitable kitchen cabinets, storage shouldn't be a problem even without a pantry.

nightdancer4 Feb 2016 12:56Again here, too much unnecessary circulation space, too small living/dining/kitchen area....
I also think that the second door in the utility room should be omitted to save space.
If there was a door at the back of the garage, I could understand that line of thought, but as it is, I don’t.
I agree with Nightdancer: the living and dining area seems too small to me, especially when compared to the large circulation space.
Is the L-shape in the bathroom designed to accommodate the shower?
Good luck
