Why is the design the way it is? For example
After several visits to model home parks and browsing through various catalogs from common prefabricated house suppliers, where we always found something to critique, we designed the floor plan ourselves.
Our plot is located at a cul-de-sac and on a slight north-facing slope. It is planned so that the basement is open on one side, allowing the rooms there to be used as living space. The terrace is on the south side.
I hope everything is readable in the drawings; the dimensions are initially for orientation only.
What do you think of our designs?

There is no specific reason for the spatial separation (children in the basement). We simply wanted to use the living space in the basement as efficiently as possible. With large windows in the basement, we don’t see any issues using these rooms as bedrooms. Looking around among friends and acquaintances, many (children’s) bedrooms also face the north side.
The bathroom in the basement without a window cannot be avoided – but isn’t this the case in every house that has a bathroom in the basement?
Vicky Pedia previously mentioned that she built a similar house and everyone is happy with it. So I assume the children’s rooms are also in the basement there. How do your floor plans differ from ours? Would you do anything differently in hindsight?

Most of the time, my room was in the basement at my parents’ house (although it was also on ground level to the garden due to the slope), facing north, with the balcony right above it. It stayed nice and cool in the summer, which I preferred compared to the last few years living in the attic (even though I love summer). So it doesn’t have to be a no-go.

A windowless bathroom in the basement can't be avoided - Yes, it can definitely be avoided.

but that’s the case for every house that has a bathroom in the cellar, right? No, that’s why houses are planned carefully—to prevent that.
You asked for opinions and you are even getting some expertise. How you choose to build is entirely up to you.
No, our bathroom in the basement has a window, and so does the one in our granny flat at my parents' place.
A bedroom in the basement is fine, especially considering my old apartment which faced north and was somewhat darker.
Children's rooms should never be too far from the parents if they are not teenagers.

Upstairs on the parent floor, there are also a study and a nursery, so plenty of options for major rearranging. Everyone can sleep on the same level for now, and when the teenagers eventually prefer to live further away from the parents, you can simply swap rooms.
Due to the irregular shape, it will probably be relatively expensive?
The budget question is important, after all, most people have one, and floor plans that cost twice as much as what’s feasible are rarely welcomed for discussion.

An interesting project. Is the builder still interested in joining the discussion?
A site plan, development plan, or aerial image of the property including details about the building envelope/window would be quite useful. Perhaps more could be achieved if these essential base details were provided to us...
