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

How about the taste? Is everything okay again?

Take a look at Karl Kaffenberger, based in Hessen. He builds a lot of cubic designs—though not all are Bauhaus style, the direction might suit you. Thanks, that might work! … but I think we prefer something a bit more streamlined. Check out single-family homes by Govaert-VanHoutte or StevenDeJaeghere, then you’ll know what I mean. I also know a few nice houses around here—we’ll try to visit and ask about the architect. Let’s see where the journey takes us…
@rick2018 Do you have a central vacuum system? My partner really wants one…
@Schimi1791 Unfortunately still consistently bad. Sometimes I think my sense of smell and taste are coming back. But so far, it’s only been a brief “flare-up.” Thanks for asking.
@k-man2021 I’m not a fan of central vacuum systems. You always have to carry and store the hose, and the inlet valves… Vacuuming stairs is also inconvenient. We have robot vacuums and cordless stick vacuums. It’s much more flexible and user-friendly. They’re also easier to replace.

I think, however, that we tend to be a bit more straightforward. Here are some architects to browse through:
Jakob & Spreng
Fuchs, Wacker
Alexander Brenner
or you could give a lesser-known architect the chance to create a standout project.
From my point of view, good architecture for private homes, beyond formal requirements, is truly successful only when it fulfills the explicit and implicit brief of the client and serves their needs. In @rick2018’s house, everything indicates that this has been achieved.
