Regarding the questions
The largest tile was 320cm x 160cm (126 inches x 63 inches). As far as I know, it is also the largest currently available. The tile at the washbasin is almost exactly 240cm x 120cm (94 inches x 47 inches).
As for installation: it is basically the same as with smaller tiles, but you need two people. The problem is cutting. Professionally, I can create CAD models myself. That makes it relatively simple: take measurements, create the model, find someone who can do waterjet cutting, done.
What I didn’t dare to tackle was our half-turned staircase to the basement. Here, I also wanted no joints. I looked for tiles available in 150cm x 75cm (59 inches x 30 inches) and had each step cut from a single piece.
I can also share a picture of this.

Respect for the effort; the costs will probably be accordingly, but it looks good.

So... I’m looking at this for the umpteenth time, and I feel it’s missing the tile effect, specifically the overall appearance with grout lines.
The pattern of grout lines is exactly what makes tiles interesting. That’s why there are large, small, narrow, round, hexagonal, and other shapes.

Here, I see more of linoleum... clearly, the texture would be different, but visually, this is a material that works with few (invisible) seams, and that’s linoleum.

Yes, so we have as few seams as possible. And I think it looks cool too.

Especially in the shower, it makes sense—where there are no joints, no stubborn dirt can accumulate over the years. On the floor in the living area, I agree with you, a joint pattern is definitely an important factor!

Am I correct in understanding that these large formats come as "standard sizes," meaning they do not need to be custom made?

I felt the same way: I was wondering, where are the tiles here, and why do the drywall panels have edge trims?

I could agree with that: in the shower—where heavy splashing is basically part of the tile’s daily routine—having no grout lines makes sense, and in other areas more classic, visually focused tiling with grout lines.

I find it difficult to go without grout between tiles. It reminds me of the plastic shower enclosures I have seen in Alaska, Canada, Iceland, and the UK.

It should be the standard. Our tiler attended a training by the manufacturer in 2017.
