One-story housing does not suit, and there is no desire and time to mess with papers during the construction of a two-story building. The projects of houses with a basement offered by "Domamo" are waiting for customers all over Russia. Finished works with additional space under the first floor are constantly replenished.
Pros of a house project with a basement
If you properly organize the underground space, then you can get another full-fledged floor, of course, you can’t equip a bedroom in it, but here are other rooms that could not easily fit in the house. But the advantages of the basement do not end there:
- the basement will be heated, which means that the floor of the first floor will be warm;
- on the received space it is possible to place residential and technical premises;
- the total area of \u200b\u200bthe building increases significantly;
- favorable conditions are created for laying all communications and free access to them;
- some of the outbuildings that take up space on the site can be moved to the basement.
But having decided to build such a structure, it is necessary to provide for the use of special equipment, since the basement will have to be buried much deeper into the ground, and its excess will need to be removed. The residential basement must remain dry, for which it must be waterproofed.
The basement floor is usually occupied by a boiler room, a workshop, a gym or a billiard room is equipped in it, with a lack of a bathroom, then it. An additional storage room will not hurt anyone, but the garage under the house will be convenient to use, to visit it in bad weather right from home. In the basement, excellent conditions are created for organizing a wine cellar, storing your own and purchased alcoholic products in it.
Choosing a cottage with a basement
Projects of houses with a plinth are ordered by people living on a hill who do not have the opportunity to install a garage and other outbuildings, since their backyard area is small.
But when choosing structures with a basement, there are limitations - they cannot be built in areas where there is seasonal flooding of the soil or groundwater is located close to them. Even with a strong desire, on such plots it will be necessary to invest a lot of material resources and efforts in order to fulfill the drainage system that meets safety requirements.
The cost of the selected project will depend on several criteria:
- number of storeys;
- relief of the built-up area;
- project complexity and required drawings;
- area of the future home.
There are different project options in the Domamo catalog, if one of them does not quite correspond to the wishes of the customer, then it can be changed by adding or moving walls or ceilings. All adjustments will be reflected in the calculations so that the strength of the entire building is not affected. The same applies to the replacement of materials used.
When choosing projects of one-story houses with a basement for implementation, it is necessary to understand that the cost of their implementation is quite high. Both the basement and the basement significantly increase the estimate for the construction of a private house. Even bad soils on the site lead to serious expenses, since a deep foundation is required. On average, the arrangement of a basement in a cottage of the total construction price is up to 35%. A one-story house with a high base will be truly "golden" if it is built in rocky soil conditions.
Regardless of what type of soil is on the site, the most costly are the work on pouring the floor in the basement, hydro and thermal insulation work. Building a residential building without a basement avoids the above costs.
Layout of one-story houses with a basement: the feasibility of the device
Even despite a significant increase in costs, projects of one-story houses with a basement (photos, drawings, videos, diagrams, sketches are available for viewing on the site) may well justify themselves.
If a one-story house with a basement is designed for a large family on a small plot of land.
- Poor quality of the soil base.
- The developer is ready for big expenses.
- The need to free up additional area above the ground.
- The developer's great desire is to have a one-story house with a basement.

So, the first issue that can be solved when choosing a house with a basement is the unloading of the upper floors from premises that do not have a direct residential purpose. In fact, you get an additional floor for storing household items, food, tools, communication nodes and other needs. If the groundwater on your site is deep, the basement will cost less than a full one. But with a high level of groundwater, it is irrational to choose house designs with a basement floor, since the construction of such a building will be more expensive.
Another useful function of the basement, perhaps not entirely relevant for our natural conditions. Nevertheless, one should not discount the fact that the presence of such premises gives the owners of the house a sense of security in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. The one who has his own reliable shelter at his disposal feels much calmer, although this criterion is unlikely to become the main one by which you evaluate the projects of houses with a basement.
Important points during construction
Such buildings, of course, have their weaknesses. However, with timely care to reduce them to a minimum, you can eventually get the comfortable, cozy and safe housing that you have always dreamed of. For example, in the basement there is either no natural light at all, or very little light comes in. Considering the projects of houses with a basement, it is very important to check with the architect how this problem is solved.
If you order an individual project, you will have to discuss all these issues with the designer before starting work. In addition, a qualified specialist will necessarily rely on the results of a soil study. Perhaps it is because of these results that the basement will have to be abandoned in favor of a conventional structure. If a company offers you ready-made projects of houses with a basement, not in accordance with the conclusions on your site, it is better to refuse to cooperate with such a company.

What does it cost us to build a house? Indeed, having a team of professionals and knowledge - building a house from scratch is a matter of time! But sometimes the task is more difficult! We have introductory - an existing foundation, or buildings on the site, extensions to existing buildings and much more! For the Matsuev family, it was precisely such a difficult task. They had a foundation from an old burnt house, and a landscaped area around it! The new house had to be erected in a short time on the existing foundation. Dmitry and his family had a desire to build a new high-tech house. After careful measurements, a project was made that took into account the old layout, but had a new modern form with interesting innovations! The house has an entrance group where you can sit at a table on cozy evenings and a complex but possible exploitable roof in our lane.

When Customers come to us with bright, modern ideas for a future home, we light up doubly! After all, working on a new stylish project is always interesting and a challenge, how to implement all the bold ideas from a constructive point of view, what materials to use? Vladimir bought a plot with picturesque views of the Oka River! Such a view could not be ignored, so a dizzying terrace (51.1 m2) and a large balcony, focused on beauty, became an indispensable attribute of the future home! Vladimir wanted to relax in nature in a wooden house, and it was necessary to build a house in a short time, and the frame construction technology became an ideal solution for such tasks! If we are different, then in everything! The house was made even more spectacular by the vertical finish with an imitation of durable larch timber, painted in natural shades with an accentuated wood texture. Complement the modern look of the house - windows with lamination! It turned out to be an excellent country house, with zest and at the same time incredibly functional.
It all started with an individual project found by the Customer's family on a European site. It was with him that she came to our office for the first time. We made preliminary calculations for the project, conducted a tour of the existing construction site, shook hands and the work began to boil! The architect improved and adapted the project to the site and the Customer's family; the foreman "planted" the house on the site. Based on the fact of geological surveys, it was decided to put the house on bored piles. The frame has grown in a few weeks, then the roof, insulation, exterior finish! During the winter, a house grew on the site. The customer invited a third-party technical supervisor who monitored the process regardless of our multi-stage control. The color scheme for painting the imitation of timber was chosen by our manager and here we have a bright and cozy dream country house of the Pushkov family!
One of the most inexpensive ways to expand your house without taking up much space on the site and without violating the norms of number of storeys in suburban development is the arrangement of the space under the house and the creation of a basement floor. This approach makes it possible during the construction to take out all the premises of an auxiliary nature and separate them from the living rooms. Since it is not useful for human health to be at levels below zero (that is, buried underground) for more than four hours a day, it is not worth placing a dining room, living room, or, especially, bedrooms on the basement floor.
Design Features
- It is necessary to think about sufficient ventilation in order to prevent air from stagnation and humidity to rise, otherwise there will be a danger of fungus on the walls.
- Since sunlight does not penetrate underground, enhanced artificial lighting will be required, which must be taken into account when calculating the load on the networks at the stage of creating drawings.
- When constructing a sauna, showers and bathrooms, it will be necessary to install a special pump for sewage, since natural drainage underground is not possible.
- The height of basements must be at least 2.2 m, which is the norm for both the physical and psychological comfort of residents.
- In areas with wet soils, the cost of waterproofing will be significantly higher than in sandy or rocky soils.
WITH It should be borne in mind that when arranging in the basement of rooms where people will stay, it is necessary to maintain a temperature of 16 to 22 0 C. In pantries or dressing rooms, heating up to 8 0 C is sufficient.
Use cases
The arrangement of a garage in the basement is a great opportunity to create convenience for all family members at the same time. This is a comfortable parking, and saving space on the site, and the safety of other family members. There are quite a few projects with such a solution in the catalog:
- original log house on a high stone plinth;
- three-story with a garage for two cars, making it possible to build on a small plot;
- compact modern cottage
- unique, unparalleled
In the basement, home gyms and mini-gyms can be placed:
- where the “simulator” is adjacent to the sauna and the laundry room, and the technical room separates the cold pantry from them;
- a cottage with a corner terrace where the size of the basement allows you to plan a spacious billiard room next to the sports area;
- aristocratic where a staircase hall separates the gym from a large recreation room with a home theater.
A rather reasonable solution is to equip a sauna or a steam room with a relaxation room in the basement, where you can take various wellness treatments at any time of the year. These are projects such as:
- a cottage with a small attic, where on both sides of the shower there is a steam room and a dry sauna;
- a representative three-story building, whose underground level accommodated both a sports area, a play area, and a corner where you can listen to music or watch a movie while relaxing after a Finnish bath;
- quite economical and compact » with a large shower room and Jacuzzi, combined with a steam room in one volume.
In addition, the underground space can be completely utility or designated as a workshop. You can fill it with pantries for various purposes, both heated and cold for food storage and home preservation. When choosing a project, be guided by the needs of your family, and we will be happy to help you with this.
