Are you sure about the tall area at the front of the house opposite the kitchen? Perhaps it would be better to have that ceiling in place, and have another storage/office/emergency bedroom room on the first floor next to the stairs.
But it looks very good.
How is the hob going to be ventilated? Some kind of large ceiling-mounted extractor hood?
My last bit of unsolicited advice is to wait at least one week, preferably two, after coming up with your "final" plan, to let it sink in a bit. Much better to take a couple of weeks now pondering the plan, than to notice a problme after work has started.
If you're still happy with the "final" plan after a couple of weeks of thinking about it, then it's probably good.

We really wanted the third storey. Our architect at first didn't agree because it would cost us 10.000€ more, but we don't have a cellar and we feel like we really need the storage space. So they drew it for us
We were thinking about making one of the rooms a second bathroom, but it's still undecided. Maybe it will become a small guest room. Or a library. Quite likely we'll make sure all the connections are there if we ever decide to make it into a bathroom.
The library/reading/playing area at the front is the only thing we've been sure of since the beginning! It's what makes our house special and fun. We also like the openness of this area as well. We've seen it in 3D, and it's going to be really cool sitting there with a book. It's possible to put in a floor later if we really need the space. Maybe if we decide to have a third child. We feel we have enough storage at this time, and we don't want two separate desk areas. So we'll leave it as it is.
We're going to use a type D ventilation system, which is
a balanced ventilation system with heat recovery.
Our next appointment is in three weeks, by then they should have finalized the plans. So we have some time to reconsider. BF is going to make a model (maquette) and some more 3D plans. So don't worry, we'll keep thinking about and talking about it to family and friends
