Hello everyone,
After reading quietly for a while and really appreciating all the ideas shared here, I’d like to bring up a topic and hopefully get some feedback, suggestions, and ideas!
I am 34 years old and originally from Munich, where I was born and raised.
Currently, we (my wife and I, with a child on the way, my sister and her partner, as well as my parents) are discussing whether to completely rebuild on our plot of land (currently occupied by a single-family house / 1000 sqm (0.25 acres) / 20 × 50 m (65 × 164 ft) / no zoning plan). The idea is to build a fairly modern house with two spacious living areas (each with its own terrace overlooking the garden, large living and dining areas, etc., and about 200 sqm (2150 sq ft) of living space), including an underground garage and a basement. A granny flat (or accessory dwelling unit) is also planned to be integrated.
I would like to start a discussion based on these ideas and am looking forward to any input or constructive criticism.
Thank you very much.

There are also—unfortunately without me being able to provide any names or contacts—multi-layered glass and film systems where the transparency can be varied or even "adjusted" partially; transparency and translucency are not necessarily "linked."

It’s time once again to give everyone interested a brief—or maybe slightly more detailed—update on the current status. Unfortunately, our/my focus over the past few months has been on the recovery (not COVID...) of a family member, which is why this thread has been quite quiet.
Fortunately, we submitted our building permit / planning permission application last December. From the start, we knew it would take a while. But the fact that it’s taking this long, and that as of today we still don’t have approval, is somewhat frustrating. Especially since just over a month ago, we were informed that we need to modify the basement level due to a tree located on the neighboring property. We quickly and thoroughly coordinated with our architect. He presented us with new designs for the basement, and subsequently submitted the construction plans. Nevertheless, the individual areas have been planned very well, and we’re looking at a total living area (including creditable spaces such as terraces, balconies, and hobby rooms) of approximately 640 m² (6,890 sq ft). At this point, the authorities are completely satisfied and have already given us a tentative green light.
In parallel, the architects have started working on design phase 3 (design development). At just over halfway through this phase, another architect specialized in delivering projects like this will be brought on board. This has all been contractually organized very thoroughly; the necessary insurances have been secured by both architects, and we’ve already had various joint meetings (mostly virtual calls due to the current situation), all of which have gone very well. The first specialist planners and engineers have also been commissioned, so we’re optimistic and hopeful to begin work in the coming months. To keep things interesting with the authorities, this week we submitted our so-called application for change of use to secure the demolition permit.
We are now focusing heavily on various technical issues, the final exterior design, and so on. I will certainly have some questions in these areas. We are also slowly starting to think about kitchen planning. However, we are not quite certain yet which route to take here. We can well imagine having most of this managed through the architect (who has two staff specializing in interior design), in cooperation with an appropriate joinery company. Alternatively, it might be worth investing some money (if possible) to get planning done through a kitchen studio and then approach a joinery company with that design. Perhaps you have some brief advice on this.
I will try to provide regular updates on progress and look forward to a lively exchange.
Best regards and stay healthy!

Welcome back
Some of what you write sounds familiar to me.
I am cautious about interior designers. A single cushion can cost 300€ (about 320 USD).
For the kitchen, I would go through a kitchen studio or kitchen designer. They are the specialists. Sometimes functionality suffers with interior designers...
Which technical issues are still causing problems?
Fingers crossed that you get the building permit / planning permission soon and can get started.

Kitchen planning through a kitchen specialist store I recommend "Der Kreis" (/ Varia), which is an association of kitchen retailers.
