ᐅ Level the basement or the plot of land?

We actually don’t need a basement and would only reasonably put the utility room and technical equipment down there. The office would still be on the ground floor, considering a bedroom for old age. If it were a full basement, it would be oversized.

@haydee The neighboring lot to the north is vacant, to the east there are buildings at a sufficient distance, and to the south the garage is right on the property boundary, with a large house directly behind it.

That answers your question for yourself.

@apokolok @11ant @Mottenhausen @RomeoZwo @haydee Thank you all for your quick responses. In fact, I have pretty much answered my own question. As long as there are no regulations preventing the backfilling, could you provide any rough estimates of the costs? For example, based on cubic meters (cbm)? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
the answer is not completely clear to me yet. Obviously, you don’t need or actually want a basement.
But when I look at the side section and see that you want the ground floor at street level, quite a lot of filling will be required. There will also be a significant slope between the terrace and the garden.

RED: House starts at ground level after 3m (10 feet)
GREEN: House starts at street level after 3m (10 feet)
BLUE: Split level, height difference 1.20m (4 feet)

I would seriously consider a split-level design here. In my view, it fits the terrain perfectly.
However, it is, of course, more challenging for the architect.

@goalkeeper please tell the OP how much you paid for the fill.

However, I wouldn’t raise the ground level to street height without a basement. I would rather focus on proper water drainage and then adapt the building to the terrain.

Not nothing, because nothing has been backfilled yet.

Ok, what is the plan?
