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

Just a quick update.
The wardrobe has been installed.
Unfinished rooms are always hard to judge, but I’ll show them anyway.
The dressing room – the mirrored doors and a door on the left side are still missing. The central unit will arrive by early next week at the latest and will be the same color as the wardrobe. A vanity table will be placed on the far right wall.
There are already some pieces of furniture in the living room area as well.
The tile installer is currently working on the terrace. In two weeks, we plan to start up the pool (mostly just as a test, not for full use). Some furniture is still missing, and the HVAC/plumbing team still has quite a bit to do. We roughly plan to move in around the end of October,

@ntsa86 We have sized the dressing room and wardrobe to fit everything. We don’t want to rearrange summer and winter clothing anymore... There should also be enough space in the wardrobe when guests come.
@Pierre The ceiling is suspended. It is made of Lignotrend in white fir.

@bortel The pictures were taken with a wide-angle lens. Certainly not small, but you can't really call it a hall. I originally wanted a 4K short-throw projector. My wife was against it. So now we went with this TV. It's sufficient for us. It has a 77" screen. On the right is the dining area. The table is still missing there.
