Projects of houses with a basement are very popular among our compatriots. In conditions of very dense urban development, they make it possible to significantly save the total area of the premises, while increasing the useful one.
Building Merits
Projects of houses with a basement floor have a number of advantages:
- The construction of such buildings requires fewer materials and, accordingly, financial investments.
- The underground floor is a kind of additional foundation that gives more stability to the building, especially if it is located on a hilly area or on a slope.
- In such a room you can place all the outbuildings, saving space on your site. It will not be necessary to build a garage or a bath complex, attach a gym and storage facilities. All this will fit perfectly on the basement floor, which will solve many problems at once. You can also organize a workshop and a wine cellar here, which is very practical.
- The basement floor is convenient to use for the location of technical equipment (boiler, boiler, water distribution unit). This will avoid violating the design inside the house with very unsightly appliances, as well as protect yourself and loved ones from possible dangers.
- Among other things, it is convenient to store harvest and "rolling" in this room.
Flaws
Despite the obvious advantages, the projects of houses with a basement floor have one significant disadvantage - a higher cost. Earthworks with the involvement of special equipment, ventilation and waterproofing devices require quite high costs. Therefore, it is precisely due to the high cost of implementing such projects that many refuse to equip the basement.
In addition, construction is influenced by hydrogeological factors, among which the following are of no small importance:
- The level of groundwater. With their close location to the ground surface, the construction due to the organization of high-quality insulation will cost much more.
- Soil type. It will not be possible to build a basement in a swampy area. It makes no sense to equip a room in damp soil, since the work will be expensive. On this issue, it is better to consult with the land authorities in advance. It is worth first of all to conduct a study on soil moisture.
- The slope of the site and the composition of the soil are also important.
When organizing the basementshould consider:
- insulation;
- waterproofing;
- ventilation;
- heating.
Description of a convenient project
Projects of one-story houses with a basement floor can be very different. We offer to consider one of the planning 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: a steam room, a boiler room, a bathroom, a utility room, an office and a spacious recreation room that can be equipped as a billiard room and a gym
House projects with basement and garage
Such projects are attractive in that when placing a garage directly in the house, the level of comfort increases many times over. If necessary, get into the garage 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 be ventilated. 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 at all.
Projects of houses with a basement floor and a garage can be one-story, two-story, and also with an attic floor. Buildings can be built from almost any material.
Slope house designs with ground floor
Slope houses neverare typical, since their layout depends not only on the land, but also on its topography. When compared to erecting a building on a flat surface, the cost of building materials for a building on a slope is much higher. For the competent organization of construction, some features of this type of construction should be taken into account.
Advantages of houses on relief terrain
Despite the fact that building a house on a slope is associated with significant costs and requires a fairly professional approach, it has certain advantages:
- A floor partially sunken into the ground can be used to equip a summer kitchen, veranda or utility rooms. They will offer a beautiful panorama of the area.
- 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 clearing field.
- The building will always be protected from the wind from the side of the mountain.
Conclusion
Projects of one-story houses with a basement have always been in great demand, despite the significant financial costs during construction. The presence of a basement saves owners from the problems of organizing a pantry, utility and other auxiliary rooms.
