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

I think we now have a good compromise. I think so too.

Using concrete (look) in all areas would have been too much for my wife. I meant in rooms that have a combination of concrete and drywall partitions, to create a matching appearance for both – but then also to cover both consistently in another area. So not an overuse of the concrete look, but rather a uniform look per room.

The rooms where drywall and concrete walls meet are uniformly painted.
The rooms with exposed concrete are also consistent. Only in the kitchen is there one wall that is painted. However, most of this wall is "covered." The paint serves as a contrast to our "kitchen clock."
The stairwell is one of the areas where the color scheme has not yet been finalized.

I’m really looking forward to it!So are weFortunately, the Swiss team made it across the border.
I was at the construction site from 6:30 a.m. to apply PU joints.
At 7 a.m., the scaffolders arrived to start the (partial) dismantling.
By 7:30 a.m., the Swiss installers were on site.
Today, they began removing the temporary windows in the areas where the glass will be installed.
The front door was already installed today. The system is simply amazing, not only if you have some experience with metalworking.
I had completely forgotten what the door looks like since we decided on it almost a year ago.
It also comes from the glazier, is fully integrated into the system, and is made of glass (except for the safety-relevant areas). Very clean design, no handles, etc.
Currently, it is still protected. We haven’t installed the second door from the garage into the house yet because it opens inward and the floor hasn’t been sanded yet.
Two connection details have raised some questions. We have a meeting scheduled early tomorrow morning to address them.
We will solve this as well... It just needs to be done quickly.
