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

I also think the little green squeaky duck is cute!!!
How are you handling the green roof? That's still undecided for us as well (but due to budget constraints, it’s being postponed for a few years). We were advised that it’s better to do it in spring rather than autumn. However, the suggestion we received was to use pre-grown mats (they apparently look like egg cartons and already contain the substrate and the appropriate seeds).
So I’m curious how you are doing it.
How warm is the pool by now?

Yes, exactly. Most stainless steel pools have a slightly textured surface for better grip.
They also create beautiful reflections. Yes, but I didn’t expect it to reflect so variably that it appears irregularly multicolored.

The pool is currently not heated and is at just under 21°C (70°F). It will most likely cool down significantly over the next few days.
We have different types of green roofing. As mentioned, we will have grass on the garage roof, which means a much thicker substrate or soil layer is necessary due to the grass. We also have irrigation and a robotic lawn mower there.
The other roofs will have a traditional green roof system. You can look up the typical structure: root barrier, drainage layer, etc. There will be a vegetation-free zone around the edges.
These pre-grown mats are not a bad choice. They are a bit more expensive but require considerably less effort. In our case, everything needs to be transported in by large silo trucks.
