House Design
Designed by: planner from a construction company
What do you like most? Why? – nice dining area, straight staircase
What do you dislike? Why? – foyer / entrance area, too little space for shoes / coats etc.

Personal price limit for house including fittings: 550,000
Preferred heating technology: air-to-air heat pump
If you had to give up something, on which details / expansions
You could give up: would prefer a 250 m² (2691 sq ft) flat-roof villa. I am giving up on that
You cannot give up: large office on ground floor, large living / dining area
Why is the design as it is now?
The seller’s planner designed it according to our specifications
What is the most important / fundamental question about the floor plan summarized in 130 characters?
This is a first draft. Changes already clear: utility room and guest room will be “rotated” so doors face the entrance hall. Partition wall in the master bedroom removed. Rooms upstairs mirrored. Kitchen not fully shown on plan but will use full available space. Staircase to be built closed with closed storage underneath, and moved slightly backward. Main questions: Is the floor plan fundamentally sensible? Is too much space “wasted,” and if so, where? How can we create a more spacious entrance area with a wardrobe option?

On the ground floor, I definitely find the original layout more practical than the living hall with an unnecessary kitchenette. I also think it works better. Consider swapping the utility room and WC, and adjust things a bit to make room for a wardrobe.
I prefer your design—with a few changes on the ground floor along these lines:
If the utility room becomes too small, the kitchen will need to give up some space, but in my opinion, that should be manageable.
The hallway might be a bit narrow—maybe it could be allowed a few more centimeters and the entire layout on the right side of the ground and upper floors made slightly narrower. Well, and the bathtub on the upper floor is obviously not ideal, but that has already been corrected.

The hallway might be a bit narrow – … if you also remove the wall between the kitchen and hallway, there will be enough space for a properly larger kitchen island.

The hallway might be a bit narrow—maybe it could be allowed a few extra centimeters (inches) and the entire right side of the ground and upper floors made slightly narrower. Well, and the bathtub on the upper floor is obviously not ideal, but that has already been corrected. Thank you very much for the suggested changes; this is exactly the input we needed, and we also appreciate the effort you put into drawing it up!
The kitchen window would then face toward the carport—but yes, better than no window at all, so we would plan for that. And a window in the guest bathroom as well.

And a window in the guest bathroom then.Yes, I forgot. 🙂 I’m not quite sure whether an outdoor unit for the heat pump or some other pipes were supposed to be planned next to the front door. If necessary, the utility room and the guest bathroom/vestibule will have to swap places.
