Hello, we are currently working on our planning and would be very grateful for your ideas and suggestions.
Here are some points we are currently considering:
To gain more countertop space for the stove and sink, we are thinking of giving up the north-facing window in the kitchen, but we are still undecided.
We are also considering the possibility of moving the pantry horizontally towards the north.
We might slightly narrow the east-facing window, similar to the bathroom window on the upper floor.
By the way, the basement includes a 20 sqm (215 sq ft) walk-out lower ground living room, so the main focus on the ground floor is on the kitchen.
We want to reduce the size of the south-facing windows in the bedroom and the children's room to gain more usable wall space. We are planning to remove the window in the second children's room.
The current bathroom design is unfortunately not yet included in the plan. We are also thinking about making the bathroom a bit smaller.
Regarding the position of the garage, we are still quite uncertain.
As you can see, there are still quite a few questions on our minds...
Thank you for your support

Changing walls and separating floors – that is very unlikely! Think carefully before building your house with compromises for that reason. A 3m (10 feet) living room and a long, dark hallway upstairs would be a deal-breaker for me.
If the living room is in the basement (???), it would be best to show it. Ceiling heights there? From the drawings, I don’t see any slope. What exactly is supposed to be the living room?

We’re also building on the smaller side, which is completely sufficient for us. Our floor area is only 2.75 m² (30 sq ft) larger than yours, including the basement. So I can tell you that it’s definitely possible to create something nice with 139–131 m² (1,495–1,410 sq ft) of living space, but not if you plan it the way you do. An external staircase is a no-go at that size.
Are you working with a general contractor (GC) who takes proper account of your site’s terrain conditions in relation to the house? What cost estimate have you received? Do you know how much the L-shaped retaining walls will cost? According to the development plan, how much are you allowed to build up the ground level? These are the kinds of questions where the GC might leave you in the lurch...
One more tip: grab a tape measure and try to visualize the dimensions of the living room (especially the 3 m (10 ft) width), bathroom, kitchen, etc. On a 1:100 scale floor plan, many things look great but don’t make sense in reality.

I don’t like the design. There are awkward corners in the dining area walls, but the sofa area feels very cramped. Considering our sofa has a basic depth of 140 cm (55 inches)... haha... you end up sitting really close to the TV, while there is unnecessary space next to the dining area.
Also, looking into the pantry… there is no ergonomic workspace in the kitchen. For me, the proportions are completely off; dimensions and relationships are not properly considered. You can also see this clearly in the Pax hallway layout near the door: there simply isn’t enough room for a wardrobe cabinet there.
And what is that in the kitchen?
I wouldn’t want to use the staircase in the entrance area.
If the house is divided into two living units, upstairs there is an oversized bathroom but a tiny open-plan room without a balcony, and downstairs an oversized kitchen that could possibly be closed off.
Only the exterior of the house suits my taste.

I have already manually added the fixed changes to the plan It seems to me that in the original, the corridor wall extended up to the height of the chimney (?)
What exactly is that monstrous structure shown in the kitchen chimney area?

we are therefore planning the non-load-bearing walls in drywall. Well, then take a closer look at how few of those there could be. Actually, only the one between the dressing room and the bedroom. Apart from that, nowadays people mostly use underfloor heating, so retrofitting changes in the layout has become somewhat more complicated. Houses are immobile, but still tradable. A house "until death do us part" is likely to become the exception soon.

I don’t see any slope in the elevations. No, but both there and in the floor plan, there is a bank of earth acting like a large light well. The slope has already been excavated in the drawings and can only be seen at the "steps" in the terrain (north of the garage).
