ᐅ Single-Family House Floor Plan – Can It Be Made Narrower? Initial Ideas

Hello everyone,
Today, I would like to share my first floor plan attempt (ground floor) with you.
The building will be a one-and-a-half-story single-family house with a gable roof, and our biggest challenge is the layout for the ground floor.
Attached is the partially dimensioned sketch.
It is quite difficult for me to judge in front of the screen whether the floor plan is practical for everyday use.
Here are some preliminary notes on the floor plan:
- The doors to the living and dining areas are planned as sliding doors (the staircase next to the sofa already has a height of over 2 m (6 ft 7 in))
- The straight staircase in the hallway is intended to be a focal point
- The sofa and the entertainment wall are drawn to scale
- The windows are only placeholders
- The front door should open in the opposite direction, but the software could not do this
- The utility room is 2.50 m (8 ft 2 in) wide
- North is at the bottom by the entrance
My wishes/ideas are as follows:
- Lift-and-slide door approximately 3.50 m (11 ft 6 in) long (ideally centered, but this will probably not work due to the living area layout)
- Dining table 2 m (6 ft 7 in) long
- Kitchen with an island
- Guest toilet as small as possible (two bathrooms are planned upstairs)
- Ideally, I would prefer the house to be 1 m (3 ft 3 in) narrower (7.45 m (24 ft 5 in) instead of 8.45 m (27 ft 9 in))
Questions:
- Is there enough room to move around comfortably?
- Can the house be about 1 m (3 ft 3 in) narrower? Our main goal here is to reduce the floor area and improve the appearance. We want the house to be narrower but struggle with the implementation due to the staircase.
- What would you change?
I will work on part 2 afterwards and then upload everything complete with a filled-in questionnaire.

Well, good luck with your continued search for a plot of land. What was the reason or trigger for the withdrawal this time?

Well, good luck with the continued search for a plot. What was the deciding factor or reason this time for pulling back? The frustration with the floor plan. After 30 hours of pure drafting, I couldn’t find a satisfactory solution, and we had to accept that the building envelope wasn’t wide enough. That was just one compromise too many.
Not much time passed between “Hurrah, finally a plot” and “Forget it, we’ll buy this one for our son and keep looking.”

Thank you for your efforts.
Today we decided not to build on this plot of land, so this topic is now closed. To be fair to the diligent respondents: may I ask why not?
That is, of course, very unfortunate.
If that’s how it is, then it is what it is. I just hope it’s not solely because you didn’t come up with a floor plan within 30 hours that you liked.
In that case, maybe it would be worth considering an architect... but the decision is yours.
