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

By now, I’m definitely leaning towards having a carpenter build my custom kitchen. So basically, I have a no-name kitchen.
rick, you won’t just enjoy the design – operating it with knobs is sure to be more pleasant than the tapping on touchscreens I have to deal with now (which is annoying and doesn’t always work perfectly!).
This is my personal lesson learned: use knobs, never touchscreens again! At least not for the oven; for a ceramic cooktop it’s still okay. But somehow, I wasn’t prepared for that. My old oven had knobs, and although I never really liked the menu navigation on Miele from the start, I never expected these touchscreens to be so frustrating.

@Climbee We’re also looking forward to cooking. So far, only the refrigerator is switched on.
@Curly I just started using the SC351. It works great. I can’t tell you if the SC100 is any good or not.
I only know one other model from Kärcher. But that was more like a “toy” and not recommended. Please don’t confuse it with Kärcher’s professional machines.

However, that was more like a "toy" and not recommended. Please don't confuse it with the professional machines from Kärcher.I really like these electric vacuum mops, but unfortunately, the typical household models are quite small, and you have to empty the water and wastewater tanks several times. That’s why I keep checking what new devices are available now.
Best regards,

sichtbeton8213 Aug 2020 14:32Due to the virus, I’m back again and have now caught up on about 100 pages. I never would have thought you’d take us along for such a long journey and give us such insights. Thank you for that! The property is simply overwhelming. I would have designed the exterior facade and the kitchen front a bit more subdued. Nevertheless, it’s an incredibly impressive house that I like very much, apart from those small nuances. It might also be the photos that make it appear a bit harsher...
I’m looking forward to the tree.
