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

Still need to install glass panes underneath.
I have to pick them up at the hardware store tomorrow.
Once the camera is mounted, you can’t reach the lower screws.
A special bit is required to remove the camera.
But no one can get to it anyway, and the surveillance areas overlap.
No, just "Bird Control Spikes" on the pole.
It’s an Axis P3719-PLE.
We use various camera models.

Great photos! Always a pleasure to see, and I also like most of the things you show, @rick2018.
The polished floor spontaneously made me think of blood sausage. That’s definitely not my taste, but often it’s the overall impression that counts! I’m always excited to see new photos, so please keep them coming.

Alessandro25 Jun 2020 07:19Please tell me a bit more about the facade! I am always open to new ideas, like in the case of your flooring.
The facade is a ventilated and mounted cladding made of AluCobond panels.
Nowadays available in almost any design. When properly installed, it can be bent around corners, etc.
It is also very low-maintenance and easy to clean. Just wash it down.
Our wall construction (from inside to outside) consists of concrete, insulation, an air gap, and the facade.
Due to several factors, we were unable to build with concrete walls with cavity insulation as originally planned. Since we also wanted a concrete look on the exterior, we opted for this solution. It has several advantages.
We spent a lot of time working on the joint pattern to ensure it is consistent. The offsets made it quite challenging.

Since I am currently selling my GLASS: It would fit perfectly in your house.
