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 kitchen will be a Next 125 with ceramic surfaces.
- We built with cavity walls that were later filled in the middle. By solid, I meant fully cast and formed on site.
The Swiss aren’t actually that cheap, but they’re definitely worth their money. I can see that again with the glass system.
I won’t name the architect now, as it would be too easy to find out where the house is located. I had a long list of requirements. One of the design architects created the plans. I’m personally friends with the head architect, which made many things easier and shortened communication paths.

We have formed and poured almost all the walls... That took forever. It’s frustrating when I see others who managed to have their house up within a week. But fortunately, we’re now in the final stretch.
@rick2018 Wow, this is going to be amazing! The glass panels are also fantastic; rooms simply feel different with frameless windows, and your view is incredible! Just be careful – some friends of mine have similar windows, and there have been accidents where visitors thought the sliding door was open and walked right into it.

untergasse439 Jul 2020 09:46@rick2018: Is it possible to roughly estimate by what factor frameless windows are more expensive than high-quality, standard windows? I assume you have at least RC3 security rating. We have a similar view ourselves...

I suppose the birds would be the ones in trouble if anything happens with the glass, not the glass itself. The fox takes care of the rest overnight.????Sure, the problem is the "pleasure" of the victims. Cool saying in the wrong place.
Hunting license not obtained, nature protection completely missing :-( :-( :-(
