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

On a flat surface, I would prefer to sow grass seed. I had planned to do so as well. Because of the slope, however, we switched to turf rolls. The turf has already been overseeded, so it’s no longer original. Regular mowing (ideally daily), watering, and fertilizing are important. We ordered our turf from Rasenprofi. Which grass type suits you best depends on various factors such as location, soil, irrigation, maintenance effort, desired cutting height, wear tolerance, and so on.

Bauherr am L2 Jun 2021 08:32Rick, I’ve been following the thread closely, but maybe I missed it: have you ever talked about garden lighting?
Do you, for example, illuminate your prominent tree or highlight other features in the garden with light? What about the house or architecture—do you have any exterior accent lighting?
If yes, what kind of fixtures or system do you use? Inside you have Bega, and they also offer many options for gardens and parks...
Thanks!

@Bauherr am L Of course, we also have external lighting.
Under the terraces, balcony, and entrance area, we use Bega fixtures (the same recessed lights as indoors). The tree is also lit with Bega. The pathways, courtyard wall, and upper floor exit are lit with Helestra Oki.
Here, only the tree was on. The bollard lights are visible but switched off.
Additionally, we use battery-powered lights from Fermob in various sizes and colors, either placed on surfaces or mounted on stands.
The pool is also illuminated (with various color options). Everywhere, only LEDs are used.

Bauherr am L2 Jun 2021 09:08Wow, it looks great. Do you have an idea which Bega light will illuminate the tree?
I’m currently looking at Bega -> Exterior Lights -> Garden Lights for residential use.
The system seems quite clever; you only need one power outlet, and then the Bega system with 48 volts distributes power through splitters, extensions, etc., making it basically plug-and-play...
