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

Bertram10024 Jan 2022 16:01The many spots of color are really enjoyable. 🙂
I find the pool sensational but at the same time the biggest "building faux pas": what a great location for a natural swimming pond. But as it is, it has turned out really great. So, really great. 🙂 🙂
By the way, @rick2018, will the photos also be published in a real estate magazine? I can definitely imagine that.

You cannot really heat a natural swimming pond. If you want a large swimming area, a lot of filtration equipment is also required. The “natural” aspect then only remains as an appearance. That’s why we chose this solution.
There was something about it in Cube magazine. I don’t follow other publications. I have all the pictures and videos anyway.
Some contractors also use it as a reference and promote it.
You won’t discover anything new there either. The public pictures and videos only show certain areas, and so on.

Bertram10024 Jan 2022 16:11Well, by publishing I mainly meant that it’s something special, so it can be a bit more than just the house building forum (sorry, taking notes :p).
I’m an ice water swimmer, so I wouldn’t have needed any heating at all. 😎
Even though the house is large, I would definitely feel comfortable living in it. 🙂

Brrr, but respect. I prefer warm water. This winter, we didn’t heat the pool. We’ll start the season again only when the temperatures are higher.
Currently, the water is 2.6°C (36.7°F). 😱
Swissfineline still plans to publish in some architecture magazines.
The house doesn’t feel that big, and you get used to it quickly. Usually, there is a bit more decoration around (thanks to the wife).

Bertram10024 Jan 2022 16:18Wow, 2.6°C (36.7°F) is quite ambitious. At our swimming pool, it's 4.5°C (40.1°F), which is cold enough to cause a shock. 🤨
Now I imagine your wife had to shove all the decorations into the cabinets for three days just for the photos. That’s funny. 😀
Anyway, it looks great, especially the floor.
