ᐅ Basement or garage, or a basement with an integrated garage

Hello,
My wife and I are currently finalizing the detailed planning of our house.
We are trying to figure out what would be the most cost-effective option for us.
We plan to build a house of about 9.5 meters by 11 meters (ground floor approx. 85 sqm (915 sq ft)).
Our main question is how to approach the issue of a basement, a garage, or a basement with an integrated garage. The plot has a slight slope—about 2 meters (6.5 feet) height difference from one end to the other.
1. Would building a basement be more economical for us, considering that we might need to install foundations due to the slope?
2. Is a double garage built with an insulated roof structure ultimately about the same cost?
3. Does it make sense to integrate the garage into the basement? It doesn’t necessarily have to be a double parking space.
If we decide on a separate double garage, we would probably need a slab of about 170 sqm (1,830 sq ft).
This is the last major decision we need to make soon. Can anyone help who has faced the same dilemma?

Better base it on your room layout.
As you can see, here comes the idea of the hair salon... why not incorporate that as well – with a slope, many things are possible. I wouldn’t even call the basement a basement, but rather the lower ground floor (UG), though I already mentioned that.

We have plan A "with basement" and plan B "without basement."Bumpy and uneven? – otherwise, just show them…

But if the sloped site "forces" me to install foundations, retaining walls, or something similar…
then a basement probably ends up being cheaper than a finished double garage.That's what I'm saying: if you basically have to build the basement walls into the ground anyway, you’re practically just comparing the extra effort for the other half against a completely different option B.

CuNoah200013 Apr 2020 15:37How was the decision made? Are there any pictures available? I like the idea of integrating the garage into the basement; it would complement a utility room and a mechanical room in the rest of the basement nicely.
As an alternative, I would consider a garage with a converted upper floor.
Good luck
