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

pagoni202011 Nov 2020 12:26Even though I will probably never meet [USER=46794]@rick2018, I imagine that he naturally and voluntarily presents his project in this scope. Of course, there is probably a great deal of pride behind it for what has been achieved and the risks taken. This surely takes a heavy burden off the builder's shoulders, and people are happy to show the beautiful result.
I find nothing wrong with someone wanting to show something off because the crucial difference is whether someone shows something to put themselves above me or others, or if they do it simply because they are happy and genuinely proud of themselves and the project.
On the contrary, it would almost be inhuman not to have the feeling to want to show something beautiful.
Every child proudly shows their modest Lego tower, and every one of us willingly shows something daily (please no off-topic thoughts…), which I find quite likeable.
The neighbor shows me their pond, another shows their model railroad, another their heating system, I share my travel experiences or my first apple pie (see "Adam’s Apples").
At no point have I had the impression here that anyone wants to elevate themselves above me or others by showing something; it has always been clear that someone is simply proud of something, and I think that’s great! Of course, people also appreciate applause—if you don’t, stand up now!
A pianist likes to publicly show their skills, just like a painter; it would be a shame if successful architecture increasingly hid behind high walls.
I have no idea how anyone could suspect such a negative intent in this now long thread instead of simply enjoying the beauty AND sharing in the builder’s joy, even if they themselves cannot own it. Someone who always makes their own life pleasant within their means does not have these negative thoughts!
Yes, there are show-offs and big shots, surely, but they exist on all social levels. They can be recognized quite quickly by their oversized building complexes without consistent style and simple, flashy, bulky size.
If I happen to walk by there on my mail route, I’ll gladly drop the mail in the mailbox without expecting to jump into the pool.

I'm sure it also lifts a heavy burden off the homeowner, and so they naturally like to show off the beautiful result.I could imagine that even for @rick2018, some details like the "paved road" used as living space flooring were a first.pagoni2020 schrieb:

Just as every musician or painter showcases their work and receives much encouragement, there are always those few critics who don’t like certain aspects. This is how freedom of opinion should remain.

What (which section of which project and at what stage) does the picture show – have you already posted it in the house photos thread (if so, under which post number)? Hey @11ant, no, I haven’t shared it in detail yet. I definitely need to do that, even though it doesn’t really fit with what usually happens here.
The section is part of the window reveal on our front facade. The upper part (with the shell motifs in the corner, referencing the Camino de Santiago) was preserved, but large areas unfortunately had to be replaced.

And now a small but about interior design: "Taste is subjective," said the monkey, biting into the soap 😀. Design is not a democratic process :p
Unfortunately, the floor still reminds me of blood sausage, and not everything else is to my taste either. But in most areas, it has just turned out awesome.
Thanks for sharing, and best wishes for your move-in 🙂
