Hello everyone,
we are planning our single-family home.
It will be an urban villa with automatic ventilation system,
underfloor heating, and geothermal heating using deep drilling.
The ventilation system will be installed in the attic.
The heating system will be located in the room behind the garage, against the interior wall.
This is our current floor plan.
We would appreciate your feedback.
Thank you!

Hmm, I’m not happy with the layout regarding daily living areas (kitchen and dining). You have to either go through the utility room to get to the kitchen or pass through the quiet area. The living room becomes a passageway, which doesn’t work well given its small size.
In the evening, watching TV is disturbed when a child wants to get something from the fridge or when friends want to go to the kitchen again.
I would swap the kitchen and living room. Of course, this is also a matter of pipework, but since your pipes are quite long everywhere—considering the heating pipes that are supposed to run from the storage room—that might be manageable. I think having the utility room on the upper floor is a good idea.

Naturally, the door to the living/dining room would also be shifted towards the hallway, creating a straight wall and eliminating that step... or is that intentional? What is the purpose of it?
Why is the hallway on the upper floor so large? It is bigger than the first child's bedroom. I would bring the walls of the children's rooms again into alignment with the hallway.

Honestly, this looks to me like a somewhat uninspired standard floor plan, sorry.
Your entrance hall is not small, but when you open the door, you immediately face the stairs. I would arrange that a bit more offset. In my opinion, the kitchen with two access points is not big enough for a central island. A U-shaped layout would work better. The location of the utility room in the center of the house is inconvenient, and it also has three doors. This means the usability, or the usable space, is quite limited.
The children's rooms on the upper floor are not the same size. Differences of more than one square meter often lead to disputes among the kids (speaking from experience).
The size of the master bedroom, under 10 square meters (108 square feet), is absolutely unacceptable! And then a walk-in closet of 6 square meters (65 square feet)? Who designs something like this?
And normally, it makes sense to align the bathrooms on the ground floor and upper floor roughly above each other because of the drainage connections. 🙂
