Then the utility room or storage room could also serve as a kind of airlock?!
The second fridge for the cola and beers fits in the utility room as well
...not a bad idea at all!
If the OP is thinking about a room-in-room concept, then a spinning washing machine in the anteroom might not be the optimal solution.
That is true, of course. On the other hand, it’s not a continuously used studio, so you could coordinate laundry times. Another idea would be to get through the utility room into the soundlock airlock in the form of a small corridor, then you almost have a double airlock.
The question is how relevant the issue of structure-borne sound in the basement even is. Perhaps it is sufficient to place the studio on an exterior wall and make the interior walls as load-bearing walls (the ceiling then vibrates less) out of somewhat stronger aerated concrete blocks, and maybe only install an intermediate ceiling (decoupled from the concrete ceiling).
...that would be an idea! Basically, it is only important that not too much noise escapes, especially drums can get quite loud. It doesn’t matter inside the house, we are all quite tolerant here. But of course, I don’t want to get into trouble with the neighbors right after moving in.
It’s not just a question of excavation and backfilling, but also the necessary depth of the foundation. A slab is cheap, but a deep foundation is already half a bare-bones basement.
...understood. According to the building surveyor and the neighbors, no deep foundation is required; the neighbor’s was just under one meter. We’ll see what the structural engineer says… The architect has really taken a liking to the basement solution. We have a relatively small building area, so he has to work with a small footprint – at the same time, a 1.5-story construction is required. He finds the basement idea appealing because through the residential basement solution and the sloping of the property, you gain a bit more space downward. Next to the studio, the basement should also integrate building services, possibly a utility room and storage room. That could of course also be realized with an extension. He knows our budget (and the buffer until the absolute upper limit) and will see which direction it can go. He will first start drawing and calculating. We are already planning with a relatively low budget, which he also sees as a sporty challenge. This room does not have the highest priority, even if it partly contributes to earning a living – but I have done my previous commissions in a tiny study and a badly sounding rehearsal bunker, and that also worked. Basement or not – a way will be found!
