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

Is there actually a picture of the driveway somewhere? I can’t quite tell from the photos where the main entrance of the house is. Probably not behind the garage, since that would be quite a long way…?
(It’s a pity there’s no feature to view all the pictures in a thread at once.)
Overall, it looks really great 🙂

The pictures do not show the entire property. It is very green all around.
We have a doorbell system next to the mailbox/package box at the driveway. Another one is located at the “main entrance.” To reach this one, you have to walk around the garage. It was clear from the planning stage that this doorbell would rarely be used. We always enter through the garage, and over 90% of our guests do the same. This is especially convenient for guests in bad weather, as they can park inside the garage.
But actually, we don’t really need a doorbell at all since I am notified as soon as someone enters the property.
If our driveway gate is closed, you can’t even get as far as the doorbell. :p

@Mahri23 The umbrella is from Glatz and measures 4 x 4 meters (13 x 13 feet). The base is concreted below the tiles. It requires at least 600 kg (1,323 lbs) of anchoring, preferably more.I was like, “cool sun umbrella, had to ask what kind it is,” then someone else asks too…I Google it… WTF… and I’m like, “come on, stop it.”
Seriously? 8,000 euros for a sun umbrella? Whoa. Wouldn’t that already count as a custom-made piece?
😱 How much does it cost now? We didn’t pay that much. It was just the right time, and the value-added tax was also reduced. We didn’t choose one with a motor or with lighting and heating either. But Swiss quality just comes at a high price. Spare parts and covers are also available for many years. The main point was also the high wind resistance.
