Hello,
since we are in the middle of planning, I have another question:
Is it practical to relocate the home office to the basement? Our floor plan currently includes an 8.5 m² (91 sq ft) office on the ground floor. However, we are still lacking space for a wardrobe, and the storage room, which is only 2.6 m² (28 sq ft), is actually too small for our needs. Therefore, we are considering converting the office into a utility room so we can comfortably store everything without overcrowding, using the storage room as a walk-in closet for coats and shoes, and using the 15 m² (161 sq ft) basement room as the office.
The office would mainly be for storing files (insurance documents, bank statements, etc.) and occasional paperwork, so it wouldn’t really be used for working regularly. We also rarely have overnight guests, but with that size, it would be possible to fit a bed as well.
What do you think about this idea? The attic floor hosts the two kids’ rooms, the master bedroom, and the bathroom, so there is no space there.
Does this make sense, or is it usually disadvantageous in practice?

And what's so bad about making yourself comfortable in the basement? It's always nice and cool, quiet...Of course, you can come to terms with it. But does it meet the actual requirements? We are talking about new builds here. If I know I will be working from home for 8 hours a day regularly, I wouldn’t voluntarily put my office "underground." There are rooms that are used much less and can be placed in much better locations within the building. I would rather move the bedroom to the (suitable) basement than work 8 hours a day down there.
