We have a sloped plot and have planned a living basement, which will have floor-to-ceiling windows on the downhill side.
Would you recommend building a basement or a slab foundation with slope stabilization for this kind of incline?
Our current building footprint is 9.12m (30 feet) by 8.5m (28 feet).
There is a slope of about 1.8m (6 feet) over the 8.5m (28 feet) length.
I have attached the survey results (plot 1295) with the elevation profile and our thoughts on the house placement.
Basically, we would prefer to build larger on a slab foundation with a wood frame structure and avoid a concrete basement.
I’m looking forward to your ideas.
The soil report is unfortunately still in progress.
P.S.
The civil engineer would recommend a basement, but I would probably say the same in his position.

derwilder8516 Feb 2021 23:04The third option is probably the best. Finished floor level of the garage and basement at 255.00 meters (837 feet), so hardly any supporting walls are needed.Thank you for your help, and the development plan states:
- Basements are allowed to count as full floors if the upper floor height of the ground floor is not higher than the street in front (measured from the middle of the house to the outer edge of the sidewalk / curb)
Therefore, in my understanding, 255 meters (837 feet) is unfortunately not possible because the upper floor height of the ground floor would exceed 257 meters (843 feet).

The development plan states:
Basements may count as full stories if the top of the ground floor is not higher than the adjacent street level (measured from the middle of the house to the outer edge of the sidewalk/curb) I interpret this to mean that the basement can also be considered a full story and not counted towards the total number of full stories (which here is only I), as long as the ground floor does not exceed the street level. So essentially one full story, but instead of just I+D, it can be U+I+D as well.
Could you please provide the name of the development plan (not as a link, but for example "Posemuckel No. 234 Blumenviertel")?

The plot is located in the south of Lupinenweg
The plot is located in the south of Lupinenweg
Due to the steep slope, exposed basements occur. These are also additionally permitted as full floors.
You are unfortunately right. As I said, I was not aware of the development plan. I will take another look at it.

I therefore assume that the upper floor level of the ground floor may be around 257 m (845 feet).
According to my understanding, 255 m (837 feet) unfortunately is not possible because the upper floor level of the ground floor would exceed 257 m (845 feet).

How do you plan to transport garden tools, lawnmower, and green waste from the garden to the street?
How will you connect the garden to the main living area? The garden equipment has access to the garden via the sidewalk.
The main living area can be connected to the garden through a spacious terrace. From the terrace, a path and/or stairs lead down into the garden.
I find the planned non-residential use of the ground-level walk-in basement room surprising.
Silly question: if necessary, digging the basement a bit deeper by 0.8-1 meter (2.5-3.3 feet) – is that a big problem? This would make the adjacent garden area even a bit flatter.
By the way, I prefer the second layout because it keeps most of the southern area open, and it allows for some separation from the neighboring property on the right using a garage or carport. Is there already a site plan for the planned development on that (right) property?
