After reading here for a while, I thought I’d finally share my floor plan. It’s a bit outside the usual standard since it’s a bit larger, but maybe it will give some ideas to others.
The house is already under construction, see photo.
The whole project was done with an architect who implemented most of my wishes, so the floor plans basically grew out of my ideas.
Features we treated ourselves to:
12-meter (39 feet) long swimming pool on the ground floor facing the garden (southwest) – the entire 12-meter (39 feet) window front around the corner can be fully slid open.
Living room with home theater and home bar/counter including an icemaker and small beer fridge (62-inch TV in the floor – i.e., basement – can be lowered, screen and projector come down from the ceiling).
Sound system in kitchen and dining room via Sonos.
A Censys system.
We decided against a bus system based on previous experience.
Hot and cold water connections in the garden including a shower, and an irrigation system for the garden.
Indirect stucco lighting in the main rooms on the ground floor, hallway, upstairs hallway, and master bedroom.
Indirect lighting in the swimming pool area.
A master bathroom inspired by Cheval Blanc Randheli.
Laundry chute accessible from: kitchen, upstairs hallway, master bathroom upstairs (clothes can be dropped directly into the chute in a drawer under the washbasin).
A large retractable skylight in the attic.
A very spacious staircase with hallway.
An airlock area (a secondary entrance to the house) – this has closets, a washing machine (for the wife’s horse gear), and a shower for the dogs.
A 35 square meter (377 square feet) walk-in closet for the wife, including a separate section for shoes.
Ceiling height on the ground floor is 3 meters (10 feet), upstairs 2.5 meters (8 feet 2 inches). Baseboards have a stucco look and measure 13 and 10 cm (5 and 4 inches) in height. Doors are 2.2 and 2.4 meters (7 feet 3 inches and 7 feet 10 inches) tall. We are installing heritage-style paneled doors.
Each floor has a storage/laundry room for cleaning supplies, vacuum cleaner, and similar items – I’m not a fan of central vacuum systems.
Air conditioning in the master and children’s bedrooms as well as the attic.
No central ventilation system (I dislike drafts and prefer to keep the windows open).
The house is built with solid construction and heated with gas (underfloor heating throughout the house).
We were not allowed to connect the garage to the house according to building regulations. Therefore, it is now accessible from both sides (drive-through), which makes parking a lot easier.
The plot is 3800 square meters (0.94 acres), of which almost 1000 square meters (0.25 acres) are on a slope with a small flat area below.
Since I don’t benefit from the morning sun, we oriented the house toward the west.
Between the driveway and the garden there will be a hedge tall enough to block visibility.

How do you actually supervise and monitor a construction project like this? And is there just as much poor workmanship as on a standard general contractor / main contractor / turnkey construction site? How long was the list of minor issues that had to be resolved before handover? Were there any major defects?

The list of defects:
An undermount sink came loose and had to be reattached.
A tradesperson drilled into a power cable near the external gutter, causing an outdoor light to stop working.
These were the only defects we noticed....
