Hello everyone!
Attached is our preliminary plan. What concerns us the most at the moment is the size of the two children's rooms upstairs, each under 12 sqm (130 sq ft). The layout of the bathroom is also something we are considering carefully since it is related to this.
Otherwise, we would of course appreciate objective feedback!
Thank you very much

Look at your design from above with the perspective of “who or what gets how much space.” I find the proportion between the garage section and the house to be unbalanced; the house occupies far too little of the overall layout.
The idea of placing the residential building “top left” has a unique aspect. You have space. My preference would be an L-shaped bungalow with a living wing and a sleeping wing. I would place the garage/workshop etc. near the street side of the plot as a separate but visually corresponding building. The access path would run close to the edge of the property and would separate a strip of kitchen garden for vegetables from the rest of the garden. There would be a beech hedge facing the street.
By the way: I fully understand people who want to integrate design elements into their homes. Good design is never separated from function and serves the whole.

I still don’t understand why the house is laid out this way.
Please include everything in the plans.
In the upper floor, eliminate the gallery.
The bathroom lacks space for towels and toiletries, and a second sink wouldn’t be a luxury.
The children’s rooms could also be a bit larger.
If the wall to the dressing room is removed, where will you place the wardrobes?
I would completely rethink the ground floor.
Remove the hallway to the utility room, enlarge the pantry.
Possibly convert the study into a children’s room and create a smaller one upstairs of about 8 m² (86 sq ft).
I find the living, dining, and kitchen areas particularly unsuccessful—
a huge living room like a ballroom, with the kitchen and dining area squeezed in.
A corner bench in Alpine style suggests a larger kitchen-dining area.
Cooking and dining areas facing each other.

Because, wouldn’t the planned driveway now be an encroachment on this tunnel? Correct. However, that would be permitted.

nightdancer21 Jul 2019 13:36The plan is a disaster. It’s only good for the trash.
Phew, it seems everyone here has a different point of view. To understand the house location, the foundation beams and similar elements should be drawn in.
To make the gallery and three children's bedrooms work together, it might be worth considering extending the house by about half a meter (20 inches) or so... anyone who builds such a structure for the cars could also do that.
