Why has the design turned out as it is? For example:

What makes it especially good or bad in your opinion? Separation of master and children’s rooms. Large living and dining area. Large hallway.
What is the most important / fundamental question about the floor plan in 130 characters?
Are the children’s rooms too small? Is the bathroom too small if the master bedroom has its own entrance door?
we look forward to your feedback on the floor plan.

The layout of the upper floor can’t really be compared like that. The important factor is the 2m (6 ft 7 in) height line to properly assess Katja’s actually reasonable suggested change.
The drawing of the furnished upper floor shows rather small desks and so on.
A wardrobe under the ascending staircase? There is practically no height under the stairs. This extends from the 1st to about the 6th or 7th step. At its highest point, there is a maximum of 100 cm (39 inches) of clearance under the stairs.
Surely the staircase isn’t intended to be separated by a floor-to-ceiling wall, right?
A current plan with the latest furnishing sketch would definitely save a lot of follow-up questions.

I would change the direction of the staircase. And above all, I would remove the short wall segment near the kitchen! It is already too short in the shell construction phase for a 60cm (24 inches) countertop on the utility room wall, and the kitchen simulation also looks like the back of the peninsula would not be flush with the wall. Therefore, I only see offsets and difficulties in integrating a wall whose purpose is completely unclear to me.

A wardrobe under the ascending staircase?Ascending can refer to the second part of the staircase, which would make sense. The term "staircase landing" is not mentioned.
However, I would also rotate it... and of course change the awkward hallway on the upper floor as Katja has drawn it.
That said, based on the original poster’s question, everything in the design should already be more or less approved – at least that’s how it reads.

The wall in the kitchen will indeed be removed as a result of the kitchen layout. We will then have to decide where to place the light switches.
Unfortunately, the staircase cannot be rotated, as it leads further to the converted attic. Otherwise, it would not end up in the middle but under the sloped ceiling.
How practical do you find it if the only access to the bedroom is through the walk-in closet?

HausbauTiNa17 Oct 2018 13:30Attached is the floor plan with a 2 m (6 ft 7 in) line as well as our proposed change to the hallway. From our perspective, if the wall is extended all the way to the staircase, the upper area will feel too cramped.
Hmm, do you get used to the 77cm (30 inches) doors to the bedroom?
I already thought that the 2m (6 ft 7 in) ceiling height was the reason for the smaller doors. It’s not a big deal, but I wouldn’t like it. I would keep pushing until there’s enough space. Staircase towards the top of the plan, wider bay window, narrower bathroom, higher knee wall – I’m sure I’d find a solution.
