Further wishes / special features / daily routine, including reasons why certain things are desired or avoided:
Bedroom facing north/east as it is the coolest room in the house and we like to wake up with sunrise; children’s rooms preferably separated from the bedroom; flush interior doors with 5mm (0.2 inch) aluminum frames; ground floor parquet flooring, upper floor vinyl/design flooring; bathroom tiles with wood look; the open space in the hallway on the upper floor should be a mix of a small second living room and play area for the children; circulation pump; controlled mechanical ventilation with humidity recovery; wood/aluminum windows
House Design
Planner: my 5 cents
-planner from a construction company
-architect
-do-it-yourself
What do you like most? Why? The west side, because we have an unobstructed view to the west over fields and forest
What do you dislike? Why? So far nothing
Cost estimate by architect/planner: around €430,000 excluding ancillary construction costs, including slab on grade
Personal budget limit for the house, including fittings: €480,000 including ancillary construction costs (excluding kitchen and garden)
Preferred heating technology: air-to-water heat pump or geothermal with baskets
If you had to give up something, which details / expansions
-could you do without: external venetian blinds, wood/aluminum windows
-could you not do without: the flush-mounted doors
Why did the design end up this way?
It evolved from many previous drafts and matured over time

Why? Because of the ice cubes – there are also great alternative appliances for that. I just feel that it takes away from the sense of openness next to the large window area. Perhaps a solution would be to extend the kitchen’s right-hand wall without connecting to the worktop run, either by integrating a side-by-side refrigerator into this tall cabinet wall or by opting for other refrigerator options. Then, along the bottom wall, with some space from the tall cabinet row, you could have a single worktop run extending up to the large patio door. This would eliminate an awkward corner in the kitchen cabinetry and create a more spacious feel, which in my opinion is what your floor plan aims to express.
EDIT: By the way, I agree with matte1987.
