I already posted a comment on your previous thread, but it seems to have been lost somehow.
Some questions have been resolved by now, while others remain.
1. On the upper floor, you have a relatively large hallway. Are there any reasons (besides lighting) to keep it this way?
If you don’t want to enlarge the children's rooms or the bedroom, maybe a storage room could be useful.
2. Does the installation shaft from the bathroom extend down into the kitchen???
3. For further assessment, the furnishing/layout is missing.
4. What is the purpose of the side/rear entrance?

1. On the upper floor, you have a relatively large hallway. Are there any reasons (apart from the lighting) to keep it as is?If you don’t want to enlarge the children’s room and bedroom, perhaps a storage room could be useful.
The hallway is intentionally continuous and has roof windows on both sides, partly because of the very nice south-facing view (entrance side). We prefer this over small enclosed hallways, and the relatively large width of the house works well here.
2. Would the installation shaft from the bathroom come down into the kitchen?Yes, exactly. It would be possible to have the kitchen exhaust vent go through the roof or to route other pipes there. This is an additional optional solution; otherwise, all rooms requiring installations are already stacked above each other.
3. The furniture layout is still missing for further evaluation.That’s true, I could improve that.
4. What is the purpose of the side entrance?As shown in the plan, the property is a pronounced sloped lot (south-facing slope). Since we use the basement level entrance as the main entrance, except for the terrace door, we wouldn’t have another way to enter the house. Additionally, this side entrance provides direct access to the guest restroom, which can be very useful when being in the garden area without having to walk through the entire house or take the detour via the outside stairs.
Generally, the design with its relatively narrow and long floor plan takes into account that you don’t have to dig too deeply into the slope, which would also be problematic in terms of height.
