What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan in 130 characters?

Hello everyone. We worked on two versions with our architect and aren’t sure which we prefer. There is a stove bench next to the stove in both.
The windows throughout the house are not final yet; we still need to discuss them.
We plan to build a carport between the house and garage. Do you think the kitchen window makes sense even though it basically faces the carport? We think at least you can see the children playing and who is arriving.
To the east is a single-family house, to the south a large meadow, and to the west the street, which is very quiet since it is a rural area.
This is my first post; I hope I’ve done everything correctly—if not, please forgive me in advance.

Looking forward to your suggestions. Best regards
