I'm working on this as I type this.
Attached is Draft 2 of our home that we are going to build most likely early next year. The garage in this design is still a little smaller than I want. We need to add about 4 feet to the length. I haven't started on electrical, plumbing, etc. There are several other things in the rest of the house I'm changing for Draft 3. There is going to be usable attic space over the entire garage. I have to work on the 2nd floor design with the architect once we finalize the 1st. I'm going to do another 1,500 or so square feet unfinished on the 2nd level to create a Florida version of an unfinished basement for a dedicated home theater and a bunch of whatever we want later space.
If you are into detailing and you are going to build, I would highly recommend a Porte Cochere (covered pull through).
Here are a couple of things I'm into:
Slightly less costly, expensive cabinets:

Here is what I want to do with a lift. I'm going to have the builder pour the floor to recess the lift.
