Anyway a few tips
1. Be realistic with sizes. Don't 'overbuild'.
2. Consider old age. If you are building a maisonette have a bedroom on the ground floor as good as the master bedroom.
3. Utilize locally available materials, you will save a fortune...

From a builders point of view, when you get money, don't lose your mind.
Be practical.
An extremely large house makes no sense because you will never use most of those rooms; considering how busy you get as your wealth grows.
I tell my clients, forget what you want people to
