I generally do the exterior first for traditional home styles since the character of the build is primarily about the shape of the exterior, for me, anyway.

Sometimes it's something about exploring different shapes of the exterior that really drives me to want to build. I do the floor plan before the landscaping in case I need to push and pull walls to get an efficient lay out.
