Hello,
we are visiting a plot of land tomorrow, and I am already planning whether it will meet our requirements. The problem is that it is very narrow, allowing for a house width of only about 8m (26 feet). I can’t design a suitable upper floor that includes a bedroom, walk-in closet, master bathroom, children’s bathroom, and three children’s bedrooms. Then I thought about moving the parents’ rooms to the basement, which we plan to build anyway.
Does anyone have experience with living rooms or even bedrooms in basements? I believe it can be designed quite well in a new build so that it doesn’t feel like a typical basement. We would mainly just sleep downstairs. The only disadvantage I see at the moment is that you would have to use two staircases to reach the children’s bedrooms, which wouldn’t be a long-term problem.
What are your thoughts on this?

Thank you for your contributions so far. It has indeed turned out to be a sloped site, so a living area in the basement level would probably be feasible. However, we were not satisfied with the surroundings, as there are only multi-family houses nearby. Additionally, the trees next door would likely cast complete shade over the garden in summer.
So, we will continue searching or wait...
