Hello everyone,
I just wanted to briefly introduce myself and say thank you.
For about a year and a half, I have been a silent reader here to gather inspiration and especially to gain more knowledge about construction technology.
Now a bit about me:
After more than a year of searching for a plot of land, I was able to purchase one from a developer who couldn’t move forward quickly with his plans.
So we found our dream plot (good location, 2500 m² (0.62 acres), slight slope, underground private spring that we have to preserve and are allowed to use).
There was an old house on the property, which we have since demolished.
There is no zoning plan, so §34 applies. During an initial informal inquiry at the building authority, almost everything we planned was rejected.
So we submitted an official preliminary building inquiry, involved the right people, and had lengthy discussions. In the end, we received a positive decision.
Therefore, there is nothing standing in the way of the building permit. The building permit should be granted within the next few weeks as there are no changes from the preliminary inquiry.
My wife (37) and I (36) want to build a Bauhaus-style villa in southern Baden-Württemberg.
It will be constructed from concrete (with core insulation) or in combination with insulated precast elements.
A lot of glass (full-glass system), textile shading, KNX, fast network both wired and wireless, strong mechanical ventilation with additional cooling coils, stainless steel pool, large cistern, and more.
The electrical planning must be 100% spot on since it’s almost impossible to make changes afterward.
Since I am friends with an architect from a larger firm, it was clear which route we would take. Such a house can basically only be realized with an architect.
I also personally know the electrician and KNX system integrator, as well as the owners and work approach of the heating, plumbing, and ventilation companies involved.
Some trades have already been contracted, and part of the equipment has already been ordered.
I’m really looking forward to getting started and to the final result. The goal is to move in by the end of 2019.
Once again, many thanks for the information I have received from you so far.
If you have any questions, just let me know.
Attached is the design, though not the final version. There have been a few minor changes.
Greetings from Swabia

The logical consequence of this question would be as follows: no ownership, only renting. All of it in the standard panel building Murmansk M70. In a planned city. The question is whether the same thing should really be built for everyone. Yes, that was a theoretical question. Personally, I never had the "pleasure" of living in a uniform panel building, but we did have some idea of what it means when everyone is mixed in the same pot. If I had to measure it by perceived happiness, I can’t say what was really better. The housing situation probably has very little influence on that.

I find it crazy that in this forum you have to justify yourself for every little thing!
How can someone try to push their opinion on a COMPLETE STRANGER who is just planning their own home and even subtly insult them.
It really takes the fun out of this forum.Yes, the trend of people trying to impose their own opinions on others has noticeably intensified lately. Apparently, some people forget that this is not their own house. Certain points raised by home builders simply have to be accepted (since they come down to personal taste, individual needs, and so on). It increasingly bothers me when people have to justify their decisions or feel pressured to do so: decisions made by home builders do not require justification in this forum! We don’t decide what XY has to eat tonight either.
Truly constructive feedback—such as pointing out defects, highlighting drawbacks of a proposed solution, or suggesting alternatives that eliminate those drawbacks—is becoming increasingly scarce. Different viewpoints and opinions should definitely be shared—but under no circumstances should a thread starter be forced to justify themselves.
For this reason, I can understand that after a few months in the forum, some people have had enough of dealing with certain comments or simply choose not to share anything at all.
I hope that in the future we can focus again on comments that are genuinely helpful to the thread starter.

It really takes the fun out of this forum. What exactly are you referring to now? Children's rooms, house size, sustainable building?
From my perspective, the discussion has just drifted a bit, without anyone dictating anything or holding anything against anyone.
WHAT would a DISCUSSION be without these digressions?
Everyone is free to think about any topic.
From brainstorming, each person takes what THEY WANT for themselves.
If not, if someone gets hung up on unimportant comments and cannot filter for themselves, then they should avoid discussions.

First of all: I’m looking forward to seeing pictures of the finished house later on and I’m glad that the curve was managed and the thread wasn’t derailed by the off-topic discussion about children.
Definitely yes, since a single standard universal house type is simply not necessary: once you reach a basic quantity of around “x” units of any house model, the “natural” (i.e., not deliberately controlled by anyone) “chaotic” fluctuation and rotation on the real estate market is completely sufficient, so in the end everyone finds the right fit, even if there are different pots of all sizes and colors (from soup pots to Roman pots).
The critical number for this phenomenon is probably around “x” of about one thousand units, which nationwide will almost never be undershot and on a micro scale only occasionally concerns very small places. Therefore, from a housing economic standpoint, there is simply no need for a central committee to develop a one-size-fits-all standard house with modular children’s rooms.
Best regards!
This is not surprising, since the groups of “forum participants” and “stakeholders involved in development plan approval” are qualitatively identical—both are “ordinary people like you and me.” Only that in the development plan you end up with specified eave heights, while in the forum it is “dictated” whether a potential partition wall belongs between the living area and kitchen or between the living and dining kitchen area. (By the way, in my opinion, a garage side door is not necessary.)
