Projects of houses with a basement are very popular among our compatriots. In a very dense urban area, they provide an opportunity to significantly save the total area of the premises, while increasing useful.
Advantages of buildings
Projects of houses with a basement have several advantages:
- The construction of such buildings requires less materials, and, accordingly, financial investments.
- The underground floor is a kind of additional foundation, which gives greater stability to the building, especially if it is located on a hilly area or on a slope.
- In this room, you can place all the utility buildings, saving space on your site. There will be no need to build a garage or a bath complex, to attach a gym and storage facilities. All this will fit in the basement, which will solve many problems at once. You can also organize a workshop and a wine cellar, which is very practical.
- The basement is convenient to use for the location of technical equipment (boiler, boiler, water distribution unit). This will avoid design disruptions inside the house with very unsightly appliances, as well as protect yourself and your loved ones from possible dangers.
- Among other things, in this room it is convenient to store the crop and the "roll".
disadvantages
Despite the obvious advantages, the projects of houses with a basement have one significant minus - a higher cost. Earthworks involving special equipment, ventilation and waterproofing devices require quite a lot of expenses. Therefore, it is precisely due to the high cost of implementing such projects that many refuse to equip the basement floor.
In addition, the construction is influenced by hydrogeological factors, among which is of no small importance:
- Groundwater level. With their close proximity to the surface of the earth, building due to the organization of high-quality insulation will cost much more.
- Type of soil . Build in a swampy ground floor will not succeed. It makes no sense to equip the premises in moist soil, since the work will be expensive. On this issue, it is better to consult with the land authorities in advance. Worth it first conduct a study on soil moisture .
- Also important is the slope of the plot and the composition of the soil.
When organizing the basement, you should consider:
- warming;
- waterproofing;
- ventilation
- heating.
Description of a convenient project
Projects of one-story houses with a basement can be very different. We suggest considering one of the layout options. The total area of the house is 194.33 m². Here are located: a living room, two living rooms, a kitchen-dining room, a hall, a vestibule and a bathroom.
On the ground floor there are: steam room, boiler room, bathroom, utility room, office and a spacious lounge, which can be equipped with a billiard room and gym
Projects of houses with a basement and a garage
Such projects are attractive in that when placing the garage directly in the house, the level of comfort increases many times. If you need to get into the garage you will not need to get wet in the rain or snow. Arriving home, you can immediately go from the garage to the hallway, which is very convenient.
It should be remembered that the garage must have ventilation. In addition, it is recommended not to place bedrooms above it. The most optimal option is in which the garage is equipped as an extension to the house, and nothing is located above it.
Projects of houses with a basement and a garage can be one-story, two-story, as well as with an attic. You can erect buildings from almost any material.
Projects of houses on a slope with a basement
The houses on the slope are never typical, as their layout depends not only on the land, but also on its relief. When compared with the construction of a building on a flat surface, the cost of building materials for placement on a slope is much higher. For the competent organization of construction, some features of this type of construction should be taken into account.
The advantages of houses on a bumpy terrain
Despite the fact that the construction of a house on a slope is associated with significant costs and requires a fairly professional approach, it has certain advantages:
- Partially recessed in the ground floor can be used to equip a summer kitchen, porch or utility room. A wonderful panorama of the area will open from them.
- In houses located on a slope, you can make a separate entrance for each floor, rooms and other premises.
- You can use the slope to drain rainwater to the treatment field.
- The building will always be protected from the side of the mountain from the wind.
Conclusion
Projects of single-storey houses with a basement have always been in great demand, despite the significant financial costs during construction. The presence of a basement relieves the owners of the problems of organizing a pantry, utility and other auxiliary rooms.
