Hello everyone!
I previously reached out to you about our floor plan.
We received some great suggestions from you, which we have now incorporated.
We have enlarged the utility room and reduced the size of the office, which was too big. We also changed the staircase so it is no longer located within the muddy area.
In addition, we moved the children's room door on the upper floor far enough away from the stairs to prevent the risk of falling.
Now regarding the floor plan:
On the plan, north is at the bottom.
The large patio door is on the south side, in the kitchen. There is also a small door in the living room on the west side. We are still considering adding a small door in the office.
All windows in the children's rooms are floor-to-ceiling to allow plenty of natural light.
The door to the garage remains our biggest challenge. We would love to have dry access from the garage into the house, but unfortunately, that would cost us a lot of space.
Placing the entrance on the east side does not seem practical, as that would require relocating the stairs and modifying the upper floor.
It would be helpful to hear from homeowners about whether a direct connection to the garage is truly convenient and if you would be willing to sacrifice so much storage area in the utility room for it.
If I have forgotten anything, please feel free to ask.
Thanks for your feedback!

The hallway towards the back has a window behind the stairs and a glass door leading to the living room.
The bathroom size was chosen due to a large walk-in shower. The furnishings are still just placeholders.
The criticism regarding the bedroom is not understandable.
The wardrobe is located at the beginning of the corridor, right next to the front door.
The WC is extended to 100cm (39 inches) in length, and the toilet will be placed in front of the window. Sorry, this was not included in the plan yet :/

Hmm, no, the hallway is 150cm (59 inches) wide.
How are we supposed to remove the wall between the stairs and the bathroom? :O
[edited] Now I get it – you mean the small cloakroom? Yes... almost only we like that, but we do like it.
The walls in the utility room are intentionally planned to separate the technical installations from the rest. Shelves will be screwed onto these walls to create more space or a tool board.
@Häusle77: Do you have any additional feedback regarding the criticism?
@wrobel: We initially planned it the way you described (see first page), but there was a lot of criticism.
A passage through the utility room into the garage is not possible because we cannot shift the garage and house in depth (north-south | east is where the front door is). That would cut into too much cabinet space in the utility room.

I find the approach better than before, but there is still room for improvement.
A long hallway wouldn’t bother me, but it is too narrow if everyone is entering and exiting at the same time with bags and winter clothing, for example.
The wardrobe niche at the back near the WC is fine, but I would remove the other wall that narrows the small hallway, as this would also allow light to reach that wardrobe niche.
I don’t mind the separation between the utility room and the technical room; we have the same setup. Possibly the washing machine and dryer could be placed on that partition wall so they are in view when you enter through the door, meaning the connections would be on that partition wall.
The kitchen somehow feels too large and bulky for the small dining area. I would also swap the sofa and the living room wall unit, so you can have a view of both the room and the garden from the couch.
Where is the floor plan for the upper floor?
