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 can’t get this thought out of my head: I wonder if those little robotic lawn mowers can also play skat when you have three of them. For that, @rick2018 built too small.
The great weather is working in our favor for the outdoor landscaping.
Next week, another 100m2 (1,076 sq ft) of rolled turf will be delivered. Some for indoors and a few square meters for outdoors (a public green space that was damaged).
It is important that the elevator is operational.
The courtyard gate will finally be installed this week.
It has already turned nicely green. It will still take 1-2 years for the roofs to be fully green.
The driveway will have paving with wide joints for grass. Irrigation will also be installed there.

F*CK MY LIFE! Wow, this is so cool!
With some individual details, I often thought: hmm, strange. hmm, not really my thing – but the overall look is amazing!
If I could wish for something, it would be a bit more "wild" in the medium term – so not just the relatively sterile turf everywhere, but a few bushes or trees – something for the bees.

@OWLer thanks a lot.
All the ground cover plants in front of the pool will bloom and are specifically chosen for bees and butterflies.
The roofs also have “wild” green roofs.
There are over 200 clematis plants (various species) growing along some of the walls.
The yew hedges provide shelter for birds.
We tried to find a good balance. We don’t have any sealed surfaces either. All water goes into the cistern and then is returned to the soil through irrigation.
