Have a master closet within the Masterbath or close to it. This way, you never have to go back into the bedroom to get dress and wake up the other person. Separate tub and shower and have at least two shower heads (one hand held) and a bench. Radian heating in the master and the bedroom if you are not having it throughout the house. Cedar lined closets. One breaker for the master Bedroom, and have one breaker for every two bedrooms. In the kitchen (code around here), have a breaker for microwave, ref, dishwasher, and garbage dis., and drinking hot water if you need it. I push this item heavily because it is a very nice feature and not too many people know about it. Have an automatic door switch for closets so you never ever have to feel for a switch inside the closet again (think ref door). I like the mag. switch with a relay. They are nice and quiet and sits flush with the door and jamb. Can't think of too many off hand, but tell us more about what you are after. Work out the lighting with your (lighting) designer. Most people just line up a bunch of can lights in the middle of a room. What you really need is to have light directed at a certain object or "wash the wall" with lighting. It allows the light to bounce off the walls. When you have rough plans, I can try and help. I am no architect or designer, but a dumb contractor.
