The current draft was created based on various show homes and manufacturer catalogs. What I liked well in the show homes has been incorporated into the floor plan. For example, the bathroom design in a T-shape; shower and toilet are hidden left and right behind the T. Unfortunately, my current drawing tool does not allow furnishing. I have to print the plans and add furniture layouts by hand. A furnished floor plan will follow.
I think the floor plan shows the intended rooms and the desired space requirements.
I hope this now provides a better working basis!

Yes, the space needs to be furnishable. I never claimed that the floor plan is good. On the contrary, I did not praise it at all. My point was solely about the dogma that a gallery space is bad or only feasible from 250 sqm (2690 sq ft) upwards. It remains a matter of personal taste. Some prefer a large bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet; others want a gallery. I agree with you that it should be possible to furnish it. But I hope we don’t have to start a fundamental debate.
@ OP:
Here is a floor plan from a well-known architect in Hamburg. Maybe it will serve as inspiration.
EDIT: The technical rooms are located in the basement.
If the thread is closed, I of course have no objection.

Much has already been said! What I don’t understand is why the original poster (OP) doesn’t want to work on the floor plan with the forum. But well, everyone is entitled to their own preferences.
I would consider such a large gallery reasonable only under these three conditions:
1. The house would be built larger.
2. The bay window would be removed.
3. The entire south side would be glazed using a post-and-beam facade, from floor to roof.
For me, point 3 alone would be the reason to want such a “mega” gallery.
Then I would have a beautiful catalog house that would put a smile on my face every day because of the view, but unfortunately nothing practical for everyday use.
Apparently, the OP doesn’t have a TV because there’s no wall space for it. :-p

If this concerns the floor plan I posted: The house was built for clients in Hamburg/Blankenese and has received several awards. I’m not sure if a link would violate forum rules, but it can also be found on Google using the keywords.
If you are indeed referring to the posted floor plan, here is my conclusion:
1. Tastes can be very different
2. "Crime"... I feel like I’m in the green forum.
