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

Modern villa with flat roofs, terraces, glass surfaces, green surroundings – several views.

That's right, the model was updated from the E55 to the E63. I think only the S-Class is still available as an S65. My mistake...

Minor lapses in knowledge can happen sometimes

There isn't one either It would be the E63. There was no 65 model in the E-Class.
But my daily driver does have a bit more power.
I didn’t mean to sound arrogant @11ant if it came across that way. I just meant that no rare or classic cars will be coming in.

I don’t consider our daily drivers as rare cars either: not the E420, because although the W124 is no longer sold as a current model, it is still seen on the road today and therefore hardly a classic; not the C220 estate, since you can’t tell it has the C43 suspension; and the Agila A, although of legal driving age, is also not a classic. Hard to believe, but all three daily drivers definitely aren’t from Iveco. For the amusement of those who enjoy teasing 11ant, it should be mentioned that the 355F1 Fiorano was a victim of liquidity issues five years ago. By the way, that was the coolest driving experience of all: taking the Spider out of the garage with the 75 hp (56 kW) “housewife’s car” onto the highway and giving way to every little speedster, claiming the fast lane with a bit of ego. Sorry for the off-topic.

Phew, with 4.7 seconds from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph), I can comfortably grab a coffee with my Golf VII R while you’re already busy shifting gears.

Unfortunately, we no longer have that one.

The Golf R has 4.6, right?

I don’t see our daily drivers as unusual either: not the E420, since the W124, although no longer sold and outdated, is still commonly seen on the road and therefore hardly a classic car; not the C220 estate, because you can't tell it has the C43 suspension; and the Agila A, although over 18 years old, is also not a classic. So, hard to believe, but all three daily drivers are none of them Iveco. For the amusement of those teasing 11anten, it should be mentioned that the 355F1 Fiorano fell victim to a cash flow problem five years ago. By the way, it was the most thrilling driving experience of all: taking the Spider with its modest 75 PS (74 hp) through the garage onto the highway, yielding to every little driver, and boldly claiming the fast lane with its ego. Sorry for the off-topic comment

Schadenfreude? Those who talk big should be able to handle it easily, or as the saying goes, “why should the oak care if the pig rubs against it?”

And having to sell a car due to a cash flow problem really says a lot about the situation…

Yeah, but only on paper ^^
