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

So back to the main topic.
The building permit / planning permission has now been granted.
Currently, the factory planning is being finalized and coordinated with the HVAC and plumbing (HLSE).That sounds good, I’m looking forward to more updates soon and hope the thread won’t get watered down any further by then. I appreciate not seeing yet another repetitive flair design here, but rather a different, very appealing concept.

Have I personally attacked anyone or tried to convince someone to have children, or what is your point, Climbee?Well, read for yourself:

OP is planning without a children’s room, which is very sad For you… but don’t necessarily apply that to others.
Mottenhausen schrieb:
These walls will never hear the laughter of children. With this, you imply that such a house is lacking something. Why? Personally, I can do perfectly fine without children’s laughter echoing off my walls—especially early before 6 a.m. (which my nephews used to produce a lot in their first years).
If you don’t feel that way, fine. But the idea that such a house is automatically a sad dungeon… well, think about it…
Mottenhausen schrieb:
I really imagine it to be painful to grow old alone Again: not necessarily, as already explained.
And as Buchweizen also pointed out:
Mottenhausen schrieb:
whether self-inflicted or determined by fate. Here you assume that not having children is SELF-INFILCTED (I already see the moral finger being pointed at those unwilling to reproduce) and basically a cruel fate. A judgment that is not necessary.
For you, life without children (or children’s laughter) is unimaginable and lacking. That’s your choice, and I believe you that this is true for you and that your children are your greatest joy. It’s the same for my brother, and I see it that way too. I’m happy for both of you.
But please don’t imply that people without children must be unhappy and express your pity about that.

Once I kick the bucket, I won’t give a darn what happens to my house Exactly!
Although our house does have a room that would work well as a children’s room, plus a second children’s room in the basement (with a daylight window) for an older child. And if you sacrifice the gallery and put in a ceiling there, you get a pretty spacious room again.
But first and foremost, we are building now for ourselves and our own needs. We only made sure the staircase is wide enough to possibly install a stairlift in old age. For those elderly people who grow old alone and lonely and nurse their depression—or whatever…

Then you are to be pitied, because whoever doesn’t care like that has no one to leave anything to… Our nephews and niece will inherit, or my brother if we should pass before him. But they have to accept the house as it is. If the property and living situation is still like it is now, they won’t complain.

He just said he doesn’t care what happens to the house. Whether the heirs tear it down, sell it… they will definitely get something out of it.
It is best to hand it over with warm hands. I fully agree with that!

Even though there are a few minor details in the floor plan that I would do differently, please keep us updated on the construction progress. This is an exciting project, and we don’t often get to see something like this here.
