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

Yes, it is ultimately Liebherr. But Gaggenau offers a built-in refrigerator that is almost entirely made of stainless steel on the inside, very elegant and refined. So I thought you had that one. It is also a built-in fridge, just with a more refined interior than the others.
By the way, Miele refrigerators are also basically disguised Liebherr units.

Are you referring to the one from the Vario 400 series? Model number: RC462304
That 60cm (24 inches) wide model costs around €8,700. For a refrigerator. Gaggenau appliances are in a completely different price range anyway.
But when you see that the Vario 400 series — with its quite stylish stainless steel finish — costs three to four times as much as a comparable appliance from the Vario 200 series… you really have to ask yourself how much “value” money still holds for some people.
That’s also what I like about this project. The price will surely be multiples of the usual projects here, but it doesn’t feel like the most expensive options are simply chosen by default. That’s quite refreshing.
That makes it easier to accept the €3,000 for the motorized mop.
@guckuck2 cheaper than a professional cleaning service
Certainly, we have installed some high-quality items that were sometimes more expensive.
We don’t care about brands. The wine cooler was originally a different model. Since it is now visible, we debated for a long time whether to get it from Gaggenau as well. For the sake of the appearance, we took the plunge. If you choose one model series, you have to stick with it. Ours is the 400 series. There is basically no justification for Gaggenau appliances except the look. Depending on the type, the appliances are actually produced by other major manufacturers (Liebherr, BSH, etc.).
That’s why I would never have thought of buying a Bulthaup B2 kitchen.
