Hello everyone
We keep having disagreements about this topic.
How did you build your house? With or without a basement?
On one hand, I think: More space just means more room to store more stuff.
I have also considered compensating for the space by having a large double garage.
An attic would "also" be available then.
Hmm.....
I would appreciate your experiences.
I’ve also heard that not having a basement can be problematic because of moisture?
And cold from below?

willWohnen1 Feb 2015 22:04I am surprised that the topic of radon is not mentioned here at all.
We currently still have 30m2 (320 sq ft) of living space in the basement. However, it is dead space. No one uses the rooms (guest room and office) or only very occasionally.
A house can also be built a bit higher without a basement. After all, there is still a concrete slab underneath. We have exactly one step from the house to the street (or we can design it without any step by slightly sloping the path), and the terrace will also be a bit higher than the garden.

?..A basement that is dark and damp and used only for storage is also a somewhat "conservative" view However, that was exactly THE basement that no one wanted to do without in the past.

Instead, in the basement? Almost – but then a small moat helped, which we wouldn’t have been able to create without a basement...

We have exactly one step from the house to the street (or we could build it without the step if we design the path with a slight incline), and the terrace will also be slightly elevated compared to the garden.That wouldn’t have been enough for us – a significant amount of soil would have needed to be added… the geotechnical report didn’t show the ground to be that rocky after all.
