Hello,
I’m sharing our design draft here now.
In the plans, north is at the top.
The plot size is 550 sqm (6,000 sq ft).
Eaves height max 4.5 m (15 ft), ridge height max 9.5 m (31 ft).
At first glance, we noticed that the hallway on the ground floor is quite large. We would possibly prefer a smaller hallway and a somewhat bigger living/dining area, but we have no idea how to do this sensibly.
Otherwise, we basically like the overall concept and would want to implement it as is if there are no major planning flaws.
I would appreciate if some critical and helpful feedback could be shared.

I find the couch in the bay window area misplaced, as it doesn’t really highlight the bay itself. And if there is supposed to be an exit to the terrace there, you always have to walk around the couch.
Upstairs, the corner of the bay window is also hardly usable or easy to furnish. If you want a bay window, I would recommend a straight one rather than an angled one.
Your bathroom has the same layout as ours currently do—only the toilet corner might get a bit dark. We added a roof window there.
I also find the walk-in closet quite small. Are 3 meters (10 feet) of wardrobe space enough for you? It definitely wouldn’t be for us. My tip: move the chimney on the ground and upper floors to the other side of the wall (meaning into the hallway) to gain a little more space in the walk-in closet.

The furniture is currently just there for decoration. No decision has been made yet, but I will take note of your comment, thank you.
The bay window is naturally not as practical to use as a straight one. We are aware of this, but it will remain as it is for aesthetic reasons. We simply like it that way.
The chimney will probably be removed anyway, as a air-to-water heat pump is expected to be installed.
For the walk-in closet, we have also considered taking half a meter (20 inches) from the children's room to create a wider closet where wardrobes can fit on both sides.

Use the office space as the kitchen, the living room as the dining area, and the dining room as the living room. The current kitchen could then become the office. This way, the bay window will definitely stand out more if the dining table is placed there.
I might also have a suggestion for the walk-in closet. We are planning just a walk-in wardrobe. That means dividing our bedroom like you have, but instead of one large closet space, we create two by splitting it in the middle. Each section gets its own door, and inside there are shelves and a clothes rail on the wall. Our walk-in wardrobe is only 90cm (35 inches) deep – you would have 1.50m (5 feet) of depth available.
