ᐅ Is it possible to have windows in a guest bathroom or guest room adjacent to a garage?

Link the thread with your floor plan yourself, I’m currently too busy. That way, it’s easier to give advice than with just a small question snippet.

The floor plan will follow later. For now, here is just the initial question. If the window situation hadn’t worked out, the entire floor plan would have been useless.

What is the reason behind the idea of a "raised basement" in the first place?

Of course, that's possible! Why not? There are also window slots. Almost everything exists, just not in every home exhibition.
I’m looking forward to your design: it has to include every kind of peculiarity 😉

But I just saw in your agenda: it has already happened.

What is the reason behind the idea of a "raised basement" anyway?

From your question, do I understand correctly that a "raised basement" is not common when building with a basement? If so, I would be surprised, since a basement that is 50–80 cm (20–31 inches) above ground level can actually provide brighter and more pleasant rooms—possibly even suitable for a granny flat—with some natural daylight, unlike a fully underground basement. In other words, what speaks against it?

According to the development plan, two full floors with a building height of 7.50 m (24.6 ft) and a maximum structural height of 11.50 m (37.7 ft) are permitted. This should not be in conflict with having a "raised basement."

It is very uncommon. Of course, it helps with natural lighting (if needed), but it usually conflicts with the requirements set out in the building permit / planning permission, especially regarding building height.
Additionally, level access to the house and garden is not possible. Who would want a raised terrace (cost) just to have to go down several steps to reach the garden?

However, if the house is built, for example, on a slight slope, you can exit to the garden at ground level from the back. That is at least the case with us. But I agree with you about the non-level access to the house.
