I'd get a book or two about how Frank Lloyd Wright approached building a home. I've taught Architectual Design for many years and Wright has some good advice.
For starters you need to begin to look at the shadows about the site at different times of the year. You want sun in the kitchen and breakfast area in the AM when you are eating your breakfast.
You want some sun all day, and it is desirable to view the sun setting if possible. With today's insulation and heating capacities you want all your sleeping areas on the cooler side of the house. What an exciting time in your lives. Remember you can modify the drawings, but moving the home or changing after completion is very costly. You can't do too much planning. Lastly, you might begin by spending a day just sitting on the site and watching the sun and all the other affects of the weather about the place and imagine a house sitting where you are. Get the feel of the spot where a lot of your life is going to be spent.
God Bless,
