A small additional note:
That’s a great idea – you could possibly expand the utility area a bit and place the washer and dryer there.
Thanks for the excellent suggestion!

I like the floor plan and the house design itself.
I agree with the suggestion made by previous commenters to swap the children’s and parents’ floors. The reason: when you move in, the children will be 6 years old; two years later, they won’t just be running around your feet but climbing all over you. Friends will be visiting, and individuality will need room to develop. It’s better for you to move upstairs. As for access points (roof terrace, etc.) in the meantime, there are locks available: locking window handles for the roof terrace or other windows… it works for others—kids don’t fall out of windows every day, more like off the window sills.
I would reconsider and swap the basement and technical rooms: the space by the door as the basement and a “clean” storage room, and the enclosed area as the technical room. Put the technical equipment at the very back with storage options in front.
Airlock doors could also be positioned more sensibly to allow for placing cabinets.

I find the children's rooms too small, and it’s frustrating when enclosed space is simply sealed off without being used. But it’s certainly possible to build like this and live with it. I agree. We plan to keep the attic open and have a ladder leading up to each side, so the bed could possibly be placed there. This would probably add about 2 sqm (20 sq ft) each.
You’re probably referring to the “dead” space at the top left in the upper floor?! Yes, that’s an eyesore for me too, but probably unavoidable. It’s possible that a “mini” access could be created from the bathroom to that area for some storage—but the space isn’t really necessary. It would of course be great if that lost space could somehow be added to the children’s room or the extra room.
Thank you very much!

A flat roof extension on the ground floor was rejected by our architect for aesthetic reasons; we had that idea as well. Well, if you already had the idea yourselves, then I guess we overruled the architect. I’d say he can manage the look just fine.

What about the design of the hallway on the ground floor and the direct access to the roof terrace? A “tenne” (a type of threshing floor) fits better in a house with a rural background. Whether a roof terrace needs access directly from the hallway depends on which rooms you can otherwise enter it from or would have to go through.
