Basically, there are systems for concrete ceilings like the HaloX series from Kaiser, where you give yourself some leeway not to decide 100% what exactly will go there (diameter of the built-in spot, etc.) – it is recommended to plan them everywhere right away to compensate for manufacturing tolerances. Since they can be plastered over, it is also conceivable to plan them just "in stock" to keep revision options open for later (which of course is not possible with exposed concrete ceilings).
You definitely have electric shading at the window (and probably also contact sensors), right? If so, be sure to discuss cable entries with all trades, especially important for the upper floor – it makes sense to provide cable entries with empty conduits in the reveal area (top, consider installation depth of blinds/shutters as well as motor side) directed towards the floor or alternatively towards flush-mounted junction boxes. Many also combine them with reveal sockets, especially for non-floor-to-ceiling elements.
I don’t see too many switching elements – you probably want at least 1 control element per room (however, you need to think about the operating height – touch panels are preferably installed around 1.5 m) and possibly also additionally near the bed or window for special functions. Some scenarios can be covered with automation, but there are always situations where you want manual override.
The smoke detectors are roughly where presence detectors are normally supposed to be – keep that in mind everywhere. KNX/Smart Home without presence detectors is usually a pain.
If you want to install televisions anywhere, consider running an M40 conduit from the socket area to the intended height – this can be well used as a cable channel for HDMI & co.
APs have already been discussed, but also think about indoor stations for the intercom – they also need at least a LAN connection, depending on optical requirements they might need to be cast in with built-in housings (alternatively provide universal built-in housings).
How does it look outside? You can/should already consider presence/motion detectors as well as outdoor lighting there.
