With 5! people, it’s worth considering an additional shower bathroom on the upper floor, in addition to the main bathroom. Who uses what can be decided later.
The toilet on the ground floor can be without a shower, but it will definitely be used frequently. After all, with 5 people there are also more visitors.
And when planning 220 m² (2,368 sq ft), some things are obvious.
However, I would also see the children's rooms more as separate apartments that can be converted once the children have moved out.

With 5 people, 2 bathrooms are not a luxury. Even with just two children, I consider a second bathroom appropriate in a 220 m² (2,368 sq ft) home; however, the fixed assumption of a "children’s bathroom" during planning deserves to be questioned.

HausaufGrund20 Jun 2018 16:31Hi,
I would strongly recommend revising (or having someone revise) the floor plan and possibly redesigning it entirely.
Here are just a few things I don’t like, some of which have already been mentioned:
The transition from the garage to the kitchen through two intermediate rooms is really very inconvenient. Also, the way these two rooms are used is problematic.
As mentioned, the garage is huge.
The kitchen itself is also very large, but given the layout, I find it hard to imagine it working well.
The two doors in the upper left corner of the kitchen interfere with each other or partly block the room when open.
It’s also quite unappealing when you enter a room and immediately face the sides of cabinets (kitchen units).
The bathroom on the ground floor should have a visual connection to the office.
In my opinion, a house of this size needs a second shower bathroom upstairs. Whether a shower is needed downstairs depends on how the space will be used, for example, if someone plans to live downstairs later.
You should also consider resale value—bathrooms are becoming increasingly important and larger.
Many people don’t just want to wash up in the bathroom anymore; almost everyone now likes a bit of wellness and a sense of living space, and houses with nice bathrooms sell much better.
If a second bathroom upstairs is absolutely not possible, be sure to provide a room where water supply and drainage pipes are installed to allow for future retrofitting.
Are the layouts in the main bathroom upstairs just placeholders?
When you walk in, the first thing you see is the toilet next to the entrance door sitting alone on a 3.5-meter (11.5 feet) wide wall?
What is the purpose of the box north of the bathtub?
The entrance to the (main) bedroom is suboptimal.
There is no separate parents’ area, so the bathroom is only accessible via the common hallway, not through the walk-in closet or as an en-suite bathroom.
Etc.
In my opinion, you should see an architect and have them design the plan.
I also think the proposed budget won’t be enough for that.
As always, just my opinion—no offense intended.
Best regards and all the best with your project

Insidinsi21 Jun 2018 08:12Hey everyone,
I’ve read each of your posts very carefully—thank you for your tips!
Regarding the second bathroom: I understand your point, and I tend to agree, but my wife says cleaning three bathrooms is too much. She wants the kids to use the downstairs bathroom when they are around 3 years old and up.
The main bathroom upstairs: the rectangle is meant to represent a sauna, and yes, the layout is not final yet. Is having an ensuite bathroom really common?
We have changed the two rooms—thanks for the suggestion!
We will do some of the work ourselves and will carefully reconsider the budget we need. Thanks for your insights here!
Garage: The typical size is said to be 6 by 9 meters (20 by 30 feet), but we are planning just under 7 by 10 meters (23 by 33 feet). Let’s see if that gets approved.
We will revise the plan completely and get back to you. Many thanks!
