Some nice examples. One consideration I've come across that one needs to have with pools on smaller sites is how to integrate the pool with any landscaping (existing or planned). Leaves and mulch / dirt / stones in close proximity to the pool create a maintenance nightmare, especially in climates where deciduous trees drop their leaves annually. Roots can and will seek the water and can destroy a pool if the wrong type of plants are too close. Just a couple of things to consider. As a rule of thumb I'd use whatever the length of the pool is and plan on a hardscaped deck at least that wide around the perimeter (no trees or other non-controlled planters, etc. in that area).

Buy the biggest and best filtration system you can. Always. Don't skimp. Use concrete and tile, no vinyl liners (total garbage). And make sure to get a cover and installed the anchor points securely in the concrete slab of the deck so they don't pull out. Good luck!
