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

Rolex is very common. There is a reason why they don’t make models with a display case back. It is actually a robust tool watch. I also like some vintage models.
The wearer has to like it and it has to suit them.
With all the hype, there are several watches I would consider buying. But I don’t need any and prefer to invest in my new home.
I still have an old Casio somewhere. It’s iconic. However, I prefer mechanical watches.

This only reminds me of the Rolex crisis in Munich in 2019... Amusingly, I found a comment in "Die Zeit": The mayor of Munich, Dieter Reiter (SPD), also received death threats after he wrote in a Marie Antoinette manner: "If they can’t get a Rolex, then they should just buy a Breitling."

Watches are my greatest passion and a hobby that takes up an incredible amount of my time.

@rick2018 Could you tell us a bit about your network? I'm particularly interested in how you set up the patch panel, switch, and router.
Have you considered using In-Wall Access Points instead of mounting the NanoHD on the ceiling? UniFi offers some interesting options in that regard. I'm wondering if that could be an alternative since those devices can be cleverly concealed. I’m not really keen on cluttering the ceiling too much. We want the setup to look as tidy as possible. There will be enough going on at the ceiling anyway...
How many access points do you have for your house, or access points per square meter?
@Bauherr am L there was some discussion about the network a few pages earlier.
It’s no longer a "home setup."
Patch panel -> 1 Gbps switch -> 10 Gbps switch with 20 Gbps connection -> 10 Gbps router.
It is also a 10 Gbps router.
Access points should be mounted on the ceiling. Hiding them reduces performance.
More access points per square meter won’t help if you don’t consider the local conditions.
We have reinforced concrete walls. Don’t expect reliable coverage in the next room. Maybe a very weak 2.4 GHz signal at best.
Since I’m tech-savvy, we have more devices than strictly necessary. I want good 5 GHz coverage in frequently used areas.
In the garage, I have only one access point for about 170 m2 (1,830 sq ft). In the "private room area," there are three access points for a similar area. Outside, there are four access points covering a total of 2,500 m2 (26,910 sq ft)...
In total, I have 15 access points.
There are already several things on the ceiling (smoke detectors, sensors, lights, mechanical ventilation systems...). With a suspended ceiling made of drywall, for example, you can hide devices behind an access panel. This only slightly reduces signal reception.
You can also try using decorative films.
