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

@Seven1984 What exactly would you like to know?
Basically, there are these floating covers made of PVC or polycarbonate.
Polycarbonate is significantly more expensive but also more durable and robust.
Our cover also has an anti-algae and solar function – silver on top and black underneath.
You can check out BAC-Poolsystems or Waterbeck GmbH. They explain it well here.
The motor and cover are located in a niche within the pool. In front of it is a removable wall. On top, there is a slot where the cover comes out.
On the side of the overflow channel, so-called pendulum sliders are attached to the cover. These fold out as soon as the cover floats up and extend a few centimeters (inches) into the water. This prevents the cover from floating over the edge. However, that’s very unlikely anyway, since it’s a sturdy roller shutter.
During installation:
Thanks, it looks great.
We also want an in-ground roller shutter for aesthetic reasons and simply due to lack of space—so no glass house on top. Your experience with the slats and such sounds promising, I had some concerns about that.
Since I don’t want to spend all the money on luxury right away, I plan to retrofit the in-ground solution later, so we have to prepare everything accordingly.
May I ask what size your pool is and what the price of your cover was? I would like to manage with around 10,000 (your currency) for the cover—I’m sure your solution will exceed that budget. ;-)
Right now, we are deciding what pool size to build. I mostly find standard sizes online up to about 5 to 6 meters (16 to 20 feet) in width. However, we actually have plenty of space widthwise, which otherwise would be used only marginally...
No sauna yet 😉
Our birdhouse is now regularly visited by the blue tits 🙂
The hedge and lawn have suffered a lot. I will definitely get the lawn under control.
As for the hedge, we’ll see if I can save the yews with care, fertilizer, and water. I think 1 or 2 plants won’t make it. We’ll see.
The tree is starting to bud. (Today, in bad weather :p)
A few herbs have also been planted
Last night I set up the cage in the fitness area. It’s slowly coming together. A few things are still missing or have to be replaced because they were defective.
Before anyone asks, the TV is 86" 🤨

If you have enough width, just rotate the pool...
Our pool is 20 meters (66 feet) long including the cover housing and 4 meters (13 feet) wide. So it’s no longer standard.
The bigger your pool, the more expensive the construction, equipment, and maintenance will be.
From about 12-15 meters (39-49 feet) in length, you don’t need a counter-current system anymore.
Don’t skimp on the technology. Size the sand filter adequately, use automatic control for redox and pH, a variable-speed pump, and ideally an automatic backwash system... This makes maintenance much easier and you’ll have more time to enjoy the pool.
How do you want to heat it? Connecting to the house heating system? Then you’ll need proper capacity.
Anything over 8 meters (26 feet) in length is already considered non-standard.
I negotiated a fixed price for my pool and paid 80% two years in advance. The pool builders wanted the project, so the price was quite good. Our cover without a motor etc. would cost around 30,000-40,000€ today.
Most standard covers only go up to 5 meters (16 feet) in width. The cost per meter (length) of cover ranges from about 300€ to 800€, depending on the design. Additional costs apply for the mechanism and accessories. Depending on the pool size, it might work out (as long as you don’t choose the top-end option).
