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

Maybe I’m misunderstanding something again, but what do you think a homeowner intends to convey or express to others with such architecture?
In my opinion, every house or building, whether intentionally or unintentionally, communicates something and reveals something. The impact of a building on an observer, I believe, depends more on the observer—on their perspective on themselves and the world—than on the homeowner. I admit, my choice of words was not well considered and has caused serious misunderstandings. Of course, a single-family home is designed according to one’s own ideas and needs, and that is great.
Professions often reflect a person’s lifestyle and how they present themselves publicly. But that should be enough on this topic.

Where does the humidity in the rooms go? Does it have to be extracted somehow?Where else would the humidity in the rooms go if not into the surrounding air? And please don’t come with empty marketing phrases like breathable, vapor-permeable walls.

@MillaMascha it seems like you haven’t really read much of these 213 pages, except for the last few.
Both the wall construction and the building services are described and documented in detail here. It’s definitely worth reading, even if the result isn’t to your taste, as it serves as an example of how to approach such a building project and what considerations the homeowners might want to take into account for their own construction.

But seriously, what are the comfort benefits of a concrete wall with cavity insulation in a single-family home? Maybe the same comfort feeling that some people get from a beech wood living room wall unit or the sofa set that keeps getting chosen again and again. I either like it or I don’t, purely for that reason. Unless someone enjoys torturing themselves—in my case, that would be the furniture store living room wall unit.
