Uh, yes. I wasn’t familiar with this design, but with the upside-down version.
But it is what it is: with just under 190m² (2,045 sq ft), you have to wonder why the children’s rooms are all under 12m² (130 sq ft). The bedroom won’t work either if it’s furnished as shown. You can tell already in the shell construction planning phase when the door hits the furniture.
Furthermore, it looks like the drawing was done more by a handyman or DIY enthusiast than by someone who actually has to do household chores and cares for the family’s well-being.
I’ve already mentioned the main issues with the kitchen, but there’s more: I wouldn’t necessarily want to look from the sofa directly into an open kitchen... and with three children... I’m not sure if the TV wouldn’t become the focal point where the clatter of dishes could be a nuisance.
Even though there is a lot of space in between... that space could be better used elsewhere.
There’s no storage room on the upper floor at all? Where would the suitcases go? Where is the dirty laundry stored? In the pantry?
I guess the well-known planner just signed off on your plan... A good planner has a sense of scale and space usage for each family member and can do better.

Someone really paid attention in math class and multiplied 9 by 10.
Yep, the house is too small. Not 190 sq meters (just over 2040 sq ft), not 160 sq meters (about 1720 sq ft)... That's why the outbuilding is so huge in comparison.
