Thanks for the answers.

Cloakroom too small and difficult to access behind the door.

True, I have now enlarged the cloakroom and swapped it with the study door.

I’m not convinced by the upper floor. The bathroom feels cramped, the toilet is under 2m (6 ft 7 in). It can definitely be improved.

The toilet would be moved slightly forward because of the cistern. But you’re right, it would still be tight. I have now swapped the toilet and the bathtub.

On the ground floor, I would swap the entrance to the study and the cloakroom niche, as the niche is unusable with the front door always in the way. The windows on the upper floor seem quite small to me.

Thanks, it has been swapped. The windows are drawn on a 45-degree roof, so their area is actually twice as large.

Okay, then the upper floor is bright enough, but I would still consider planning a nice window on the ground floor.

The front door will also have a side panel to let in some light. The living room sliding door will be slightly translucent as well. Since there is an open space above the front door to the upper floor, plenty of light should come in from the skylight above.
An additional window could be worth considering if the large roof window does not provide enough light.

I don’t understand the upper children’s room — was the wall simply not removable in the program, or does the child have a hole with a window at the end next to the room? Also, the terrace isn’t very clear to me — it faces the driveway, and if the street is there as well, everyone can see your barbecues (which makes planting trees difficult).

Exactly, the extra walls to the left and right of the dormer are just the dormer side panels and are not part of the room. To prevent views of the terrace, I will place some flower pots with bamboo over the garage. The street itself is a dead-end and leads only to one more house. The green area slopes down, so I will build a stone wall towards the street and plant some shrubs above it to protect the terrace.

The plan is confusing: the dimensions can’t be right or some are incorrect. For example, the living room door has two different measurements. The bay window side should be 2 meters (6 ft 7 in). The living room/dining doorway is 2.88 m (9 ft 5 in). Comparing them, something must be wrong.

The windows all show the parapet heights, and the living room door additionally shows the passage height: 2.2 m (7 ft 3 in). The passage is only 1.4 m (4 ft 7 in) wide.
Apart from that, only lengths or widths are given, and these are correct.

It is very confusing when you add changes to the original post or replace drawings there. This makes it difficult to understand the earlier comments before your changes. If necessary, please attach the updated version separately as an additional variant.

Please add new or modified attachments as a new post in the discussion – everything else doesn’t make sense, as @kbt09 already mentioned.

Okay, the old floor plans are available again in the original post. Here are the new floor plans.
Does anyone have any ideas for the design of the bay window?

I generally don't find bay windows very appealing. In the master and children's bedrooms, they just create dead space.

The bay window is actually excellent for a workspace. Bright through the window and almost 2m (6.5 feet) wide. Even though I don’t usually like bay windows, this one will at least be put to use.
