Non-load-bearing walls on the ground floor, and then no walls at all in the basement. Is that feasible?

Hello.

In my floor plan considerations, I wonder if it is possible that there are walls on the ground floor (non-load-bearing walls) and no wall in the basement at the same location.

There is only one GF and one BF.

There is a load-bearing 24 cm wall running across the house (horizontally marked in red), which also exists in the basement.

All walls present in the basement and identical in the GF are marked in red, the others are not "congruent". The basement is made of concrete, the GF of Poroton, no upper floor.

Is this possible, or are the walls marked in green (17 cm) on the GF also needed in the basement? Can a normal ceiling handle this, or does this require particularly elaborate reinforcement with steel?

The reason is the slight slope, and that I can realize windows on the north side in the basement without light wells, and therefore want two larger rooms.

Thank you very much

Despite the incomprehensible text and the rather confusing drawings, I see no problem here. Incidentally, I remind you of my criticism regarding the constantly new threads without reference links :-(

It's just that this time it is a different draft, which no longer has much in common with the old topic, therefore a new topic.

First of all, it is about the possibility of having a non-load-bearing wall "above," and in the basement no wall directly underneath that spot.

Best regards, Ralf

Even if you are apparently not the type for strictly developed projects, at its core it is still the same, and it will remain so even after the seventy-seventh amendment shuffle.

Why don’t you leave the question to your architect or their structural engineer?

I believe the structural engineer is not necessary at this stage. He can always calculate a drywall partition without major problems, and a non-load-bearing solid wall is also rarely a problem.
