Hello everyone,
I am sharing our floor plan here for discussion. I also have a second floor plan option for the upper floor with two children's rooms. Are there any suggestions for changes?
The entrance faces southeast.
If you need any additional information, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

You’re making it a bit difficult for other participants by providing the ground floor (EG) and upper floor (OG) as PDFs and the alternative upper floor as an image, plus the site plan in an overwhelming size.
I find the alternative upper floor clearly better.
Really, Planning office (???) – are they officially authorized to submit plans, or just ambitious amateurs who only know their way around a drawing program? – In the drawing (PDF), besides a lack of understanding of the system behind the construction dimensions, I also see a thermal design flaw in the shared garage wall. The identical alignment of the garage front and entrance bay window doesn’t look good either; I would move the garage back by half a meter (about 1.5 feet).
Regarding that question, all you’ll get from me is a relative “better than,” never an absolute “looks good as is,” since I could never accept the “Toscanian skirt” style. In my opinion, it’s the “Hawaiian toast” of architecture. Gelsenkirchen Baroque 2000.

Hello
The floor plan (PDF) was created by a designer. I made the alternative floor plan for the upper floor myself, as well as the landscaping. So please forgive the mixed formats.
@11ant
What is the problem with the garage not having its own wall but being attached to the building?
Whether we need to move the garage, I will have to discuss with my wife. Thanks for the hint. Besides that, I like Toast Hawaii ;-)

What is the issue with the garage not having its own wall and instead being built attached to the main building?If the unheated structure is built onto the heated building without its own wall, it "facilitates" heat loss. A separation, starting from the foundation slab, is intended to improve this.

With the garage façade aligned with the entrance bay, the bay no longer projects forward; instead, the building in the area between appears recessed.
Architects who trained before CAD immediately notice details like this, meaning they simply avoid such designs.
You can crop images from PDF screenshots; this makes it easier to follow the discussion without switching back and forth between viewing programs.

The entrance faces southeast... this means the garage is located in the best part of the garden, and the utility room is on the prime side of the house. As a result, the house will be quite dark.
How many children are planned for the family? How many children’s bedrooms are planned in the layout?
Children’s bedrooms are less than 12sqm (130 sq ft), while bedrooms are over 12sqm (130 sq ft), each with a walk-in closet. Those are definitely trendy priorities. 😉
Otherwise, this house plan is likely quite common and already exists in many places as a standard design, although it has been somewhat enlarged here. The utility room is difficult to furnish; I would remove two doors!
Where will the coat storage be placed in the entrance hall? Under the stairs?
There will be no shower for guests, and a double bed does not fit in the bedroom...
