If the plot is flat, build without a basement. You are building the house for yourself and not for others. No matter what is traditional, it must fit your preferences, lifestyle, and budget.

I see it exactly the same way.........I also cannot understand when some people here write that the facade has to look a certain way because it is customary here.

My parents moved in with my brother, and it felt like 80% of the basement was trash....the 20% could have easily been stored in a shed and/or garage.

Then build a basement without a cellar and with a basement with living spaces on a slope.

Here the classic cellar becomes unusual. Shelves full of preserves, oil tanks, and the like are no longer present. By the way, the really old houses here also did not have a cellar in the ground. The soil is too rocky for pickaxes and shovels.

I don’t like basements either, simply unnecessary stairs that I want to avoid. When land prices are arbitrarily high and the plot thus becomes arbitrarily small, a basement makes sense, but otherwise... even hobbies are better kept above ground, as these are simply the nicest rooms.

The worst, in my opinion, are guest rooms in the basement

Why is that? If I have guests 3 times a year, it is exactly the right usage in terms of price/performance. I’m not going to pay 33k€ for 3 overnight stays above ground.
