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

Personally, this house and its landscaped property don’t convey any sense of human warmth to me.
With such architecture, the builder aims to communicate or demonstrate something to others...

Perhaps a builder might also want to convey or demonstrate something beautiful and positive.

The personal character of a house comes from the personality of the builders, not the budget. The fact that @rick2018’s house has personality is more about him (and his construction team) than the budget. What you can do with a large budget but no inspiration can be seen, for example, in the residences of actual and wannabe despots.This project always impresses me as well. The budget has been very well used. Strangely, the house does not come across as arrogant at all to me. It’s honestly not quite my style. But I see someone who has built a thoroughly thought-out house that meets their needs. And @rick2018, thanks to you and your clear descriptions and tips, I completely rethought a lot about our network setup. If you hadn’t explained why an access point is necessary, I honestly wouldn’t have understood.
However, we do appreciate being able to preserve something old when possible 😉

I was about to say: yes, namely that you can build a house you like yourself (perhaps just instead of other people), even without little extras like a monkey or a horse. But then I read that someone else has already put it more beautifully:

But I see someone who has built a fully thought-out house that fits their needs. And @rick2018 thanks to you and your detailed explanations and tips, I’ve rearranged a lot on our side concerning the network. If you didn’t know why you should have an access point before, what you wrote was really helpful. Trademark schrieb:
However, we do enjoy it when we can preserve something old. What (which part of which project and at what stage) does the picture show? Have you already shared it in the house pictures thread (and if so, under which post number)?
