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.

I only started reading again yesterday. There was never any notification about "new posts"... just yesterday again... 🙄

@Tx-25 we discussed this. Electrically, defrosting once costs €750. For the heating system, it’s somewhat cheaper but requires a more complex installation.
I’d rather have an extra vehicle or a caretaker service.

I had the same problem as @ypg. I am now working my way from page ~140 up to the latest update.

One thing I can say in advance:
Do us all a favor and start building house number 2 right afterwards. Of course, only with a new thread 🙂 😉

Everything is so cool, modern, and stylish, but I just can't get along with this floor, sorry.

But the wall color gives me the feeling of a clinic or medical office, so it wouldn’t be my choice at all.

Despite all the Rhineland spirit of "being able to genuinely wish well for others," you never really look at a house like this without some envy. So I sincerely appreciate every detail that makes you want to say "oh no, don’t do that"—there’s something somehow comforting about that 🙂

Maybe you could share a photo of that when you have the chance.

I'll add something here as well: White baseboard with the oak floors

How wide is the baseboard in the photo? Shouldn’t there always be about a 1cm (0.4 inch) gap from the wall as an expansion joint? It looks almost flush against the wall.
