A good friend once told me: "If you already have to collect arguments against a basement, then build a basement!" I honestly don't understand this argument about clutter at all. Tendency to hoard? We currently have a basement where only washing is done and my husband has his hobby workshop, where garden furniture hibernates and the cat litter box is kept. Even this basement is perfectly tidy and no part lies around uselessly serving clutter. In the new house, we do not want to dispense with this enormous spatial program and will extend it to a large office and a large music room. In addition, the basement will be fully technically equipped (underfloor heating and co). I am already very much looking forward to it! Oh, there will also be a crawl space under the roof and a storage room in the garage. But for me, that does not replace a basement!!
