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

The last period has been a bit stressful.
The ceiling installation is quite advanced. Lights are being installed. Almost all indoor access points are in place.
Painting is also finished except for the stairwell. It is only primed and will be fully painted after we complete the final touch-ups.
There have been some schedule changes. Some appointments cannot be moved. The result is that next week we will have a “full house.”
On Monday, the facade installer will begin fitting the aluminum composite panels, the pool contractor will arrive, we will sand the floor on one level, the utility provider will finally deliver the electricity meter, the electricians will be on site, as will the ceiling installers and the plasterer (pavilion)...
On 06.07., the remaining glass installation is scheduled to start.
Keep your fingers crossed that everything goes roughly according to plan.

Bauherr am L11 Jun 2020 08:29@rick2018 you pay attention to details, and I assume even more so with such a beautiful ceiling.
Besides the access point shown, which models have you chosen for smoke detectors and spotlights to ensure they look good and match well together?

@Bauherr am L That was indeed not so easy. After all, it’s not just about the appearance but primarily about the functionality.
The access points indoors are all Unifi NanoHD. There are design covers available for them as well. Unfortunately, the wood finish is too dark for our light wood. So, they remain in matte white.
The recessed lights are from Bega (with DALI power supplies) and are anthracite. This matches perfectly with our flooring. In the garage and fitness area, they are larger.
The supply and exhaust air vents are white. We didn’t like stainless steel, nor black.
The occupancy sensors are also anthracite. Different models depending on the room. Mostly from Theben.
The smoke detectors come from Jung and have a light wood finish.
The pendant lamp in the dining area will be rose copper.
All ceiling fixtures are round.
Only in the laundry/ironing room (like in the technical rooms) do we have LED strips. Also anthracite.
