Hello,

we have purchased a building plot with a slight slope. The plot measures 23x23 meters (75x75 feet) and has a height difference of 3 meters (10 feet) from the street to the boundary point.

We do not want a basement but a ground-level terrace instead.
Now we are considering having living spaces in the lower level.

The idea would be to have the living room/kitchen, etc. downstairs and the bedrooms on the ground floor.

Has anyone implemented this and can share their experience, possibly with pictures?

You should include the elevations in your plan so that it is clear where the slope leads.

Is this plot 8538?

The street runs north-south.
The slope descends towards the west.
The street is located to the east.

We have the living/dining/kitchen area on the ground floor. However, the entrance is also there.
Friends have the entrance on the ground floor and the living area in the basement, which is great.

Modern living basements have nothing to do with dark, slightly musty, damp, low cellars.

Timber frame constructions tend to push the basement under the house as a storage space.
Our friends built their house with Albert. They should also be active in your area.

Yes, it is plot 8538.

The elevations are not available anywhere. We had a surveyor come by.

Thanks for the info.
Our architect is currently working on something. Let’s see what comes out of it. I will then post the floor plan.
