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

Unfortunately, there is (still) no suitable shelter for the winter grilling season 🙁Mine is kept outside… why would the absence of a shelter stop grilling??? …or do you need underfloor heating turned on while grilling? 😀 😀. My real problem is my current diet, which lasts another 10 days… or so. After that, no weather will keep me from grilling… the Argentine beef tenderloin already knows its fate.By the way, in the barbecue club all the grill amateurs here can enjoy wonderfully crazy pictures and videos about the “Komodo” grill from the USA with user Flemse on page 4. I’ve rarely seen something so positively obsessed, including a video of the delivery of his Komodo model from the USA. I could laugh myself silly over that thread. I think he lives in Denmark… brilliant… and he even bought the entry-level model 😱

The pictures come at just the right time. Man, I’m so jealous not being able to jump into a pool right now, with all the swimming pools being closed. I console myself with the thought that Rick must be training for an ultra-hard triathlon, getting up at 4:00 AM every morning for it, and soon he won’t even be allowed to heat the pool for training anymore. ;-) Brrr, would you seriously want to trade places with him? ;-)

Since we couldn’t store it inside the apartment, it stayed outside on the terrace all year round – of course covered, but still exposed to rain and snow. So, it’s understandable – I’m just annoyed by the pile of trash it has become now.Why? – it actually fits perfectly with CorTen ...https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

We are doing well too – we’re just enjoying the house more intensely.
Both of us have had birthdays recently, my husband’s being a milestone one. That’s unfortunate, as we had planned to celebrate it in a big way. Nothing happened. He then visited all family members one by one, following COVID rules (only one person at a time), to receive their congratulations, and I had a quiet afternoon. We had imagined it differently, but it’s not a tragedy.
Much worse is the situation for an old friend who is celebrating his 90th today, and whom we would have liked to celebrate extensively. Now, we will just stand in the front yard and congratulate him, and that’s it. THAT is difficult; it will probably be his last milestone birthday, and he is still fairly healthy. He has been thinking about how to celebrate it for half a year already. He is quite down about it. I really feel sorry for him. At 90, the chance of reaching the next “0” birthday is quite limited.
