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

Silent01025 Sep 2019 12:43Great that you are sharing the progress of your project with us.
We also have a connection from the garage to the house, but here in RLP we had to include an anteroom as a buffer zone because of the possible exhaust fumes. However, since your basement hallway offers so much space, you could still add walls afterwards if you find that uncomfortable. Or do you have an active ventilation system in the garage? That would of course be ideal.
What type of heating system are you installing?

What type of heating system are you installing?
Yes, the garage is ventilated. Also, there is no living space directly adjacent to it.
The main heating system will be a large gas boiler. This will be primarily needed for the pool. In our region, it can get quite cold, so heat pumps are no longer efficient.
We can also heat through the ventilation system or the air conditioning. This is more of a secondary function of the system.

Yesterday, I stood for the first time in the future living area.
The walls for the second floor are in place. The rest will be glass.
The terrace begins behind the reinforcement of the supports.
Also, here is a picture of the view from the dining area as well as a new aerial photo from today.
We are very excited about it. The view matches the plans and expectations.

Really great location!
Really great location!
It still looks huge right now. The entire area behind the retaining wall will be filled in, and the pool will be added later.
The entire lower floor will be buried.
The second and third floors are significantly smaller and narrower than the basement (excluding the garage).
