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

I do not question that a good neighborhood can exist despite very different types of houses, and my words are not meant as any kind of attack. I also like to look at such buildings from time to time, but that style is definitely not mine (especially Bauhaus is very much a matter of taste) and it stands out quite a bit. It simply wouldn’t suit my taste regarding the appearance of the area. But that says nothing about the residents, except that they have a different perspective on it than I do.
I can easily imagine the daily retiree meet-up *laugh*
Even though we built on a completely different scale, our house was also quite unusual and sparked a lot of discussion. When we were at the construction site, we constantly had to answer questions and talk to the construction team – at least they had the courage to do that.
But especially the wooden basement was closely examined and debated ("Will it really hold up? Will it stay dry? I think it’s great, but I would never do it myself"), which was sometimes really funny.

The foundation for the pavilion is now complete. The pavilion itself (concrete components) will be installed tomorrow.
Yesterday, the window installers came for the first time to check if everything fits. The carpenters were still working on the beams.
Today is a big working day.
Right on time at 7 a.m., three 40-ton (40-tonne) trucks from the window supplier arrived. Everything was perfectly packaged.
Classic Swiss precision.
All the glass and materials for the frames were unloaded. After that, frame installation will begin, which alone will likely take 2–3 weeks.
At the same time, the final ceiling is being concreted. By 9 a.m., three concrete mixers had already been used.
Currently, part of the house has been scaffolded again, which makes it look more solid.
