So many questions olney - What is the building to be used for? How many floors preferred? Floor plan hints such as several smaller rooms, or just a few large ones - and the size of building. Plot is flat or on hilly ground?
And finally, will you be supplying materials or would I? And what materials did you have in mind or would prefer? -

@mookiema the size is not too specific but would like it to be somewhere around 75x75. Slightly bigger or smaller is fine and proportions do not have to be exact. Landscaping does not count for that size

@AdmiralD all great questions! Firstly, one is addressed in the post right above. Next, the building is going to be the center piece of my town and will have the town portal in it as well as a room for rules of the town, members and other types information like that. I would also like for about 3 floors in total but that is negotiable depending on building style. One main floor for portal and info, an upstairs for decoration and views of use town, and the upper most floor for a personal bedroom/storage (1-2 medium to small rooms for the top floor). Room size can vary floor to floor, probable decreasing in size as floors go up. The building area is not completely flat but is flat enough for a large structure like this (I can tp you to it in game if requested and set up a time to). Finally, supplies would be partially supplied by me, but seeing that I'm paying 100k just for its completion, I will not supply everything. As you might be able to tell, I don't have a super set and stone idea for this. After I pick some one, I will be talking to them a lot about specifics for many of the things you asked about and also many more. I will write up a contract for me and the builder to sign once selected that will outline all of this after it being agreed upon. Sorry for the lengthy response and you and everyone else please feel free to ask more questions!!

I could build something like that, I could supply most if not all of the materials since there really isn't anything pricey and I already have pretty much all those items needed except for maybe the wood(Which is easy to collect). Its 4 Floors Ive seen it in a few pictures and I personally like it, also it wouldn't take more than a couple hours total to build(ideally Id have it done quicker than that). Ill probably post some more ideas as the week progresses and I come across more Also I can make specific changes if youd like. For example: Type of wood, Type of block used. Color of glass. And virtually any other changes you would like I could most likely take care of. -

@ASauer yes something around that size but again, size can vary so if you have smaller builds, that's negotiable.

Theres another one that I could do. A lot wider. Also I can change sizes on any of the things I post as well as what I stated in my last post. Would take a bit more work. But the only downside is that it would take me longer. I can alter plenty of things depending on what you would prefer and whatnot. These are just basic outlines that I personally like and aren't like "It has to be an exact replica. etc." Want one floor to be bigger than it appears? Done. Want dimensions to be 3x the size? Done. Want an extra add-on? Done. I can build fountains too. But I can't provide the water as I do not have that donation just yet :p But long story short I'm just posting "Rough Drafts"

A little more complex but doable(Including the gardens) Only issue is the bricks.

Can do. Would prefer if it wasn't quartz(Just because of the price and not a whole lot of buyers) But nonetheless I can buy if needed since the prize money is so much, would just take extra time.
Also I would like to say sorry for the amount of builds I am posting, it is to get my ideas rolling, and possibly yours too. And today I have too much free time and this is keeping me occupied. Ideally I want to have around 5-10 different styles so that you can choose one(If you like any I post) and have me make edits towards it as you please. The only thing I'm very challenged in editing is wall detail. It's just something I've always had a weakness for when building. Other than that I can make tons of edits. Interior design I can do fairly well. And landscaping around the building is definitely something I can do. I'm hoping to find a few more complex ideas that would get at least close to matching the prize but with enough edits on any of these I believe it'd get fairly close, just finding builds that match 100k in my opinion is difficult because usually they have tons of floors or I can't really do without fly. From now on I'll be updating this post with my ideas to avoid the spam xD

A little small, so naturally I would have to make edits to it -

Thats the best one I can find, Since it's in a different texture pack it'd look different. But yeah. I shall do my best to find Italian Villa style
I thought about it, what I could do with virtually any build is make the main block sandstone and roof areas bricks. I think that might give any of the builds an Italian Villa feel. Although I could be wrong since it isn't really my building expertise.
