Hello everyone,
I would like to ask you for advice once again. Our building application has already been submitted, but we are currently discussing one point again: the position of the basement staircase.
The stairway to the upper floor leads directly from the cloakroom to the left. We also like it that way. You enter the basement from the living area through the basement door. In our opinion, this position has the following disadvantages:
1. From the living room couch, you can see 3 doors.
2. Beverage crates and food supplies have to be carried through the living area into the basement.
3. Wall space/parking space is lost in the living area because of the basement door.
In the second picture, our consideration is shown. Moving the basement door into the cloakroom. This leads to:
1. The cloakroom/hanging space becoming smaller.
2. A "cavity" behind the fireplace, which could possibly be used as storage space.
3. The basement stairs becoming steeper/longer and requiring a "landing" in the upper curve.
What do you think of our idea to move the basement stairs into the cloakroom?
Thank you very much for your valuable advice!!!
Here are some general information about the construction project:
-120 sqm living area
-Upper floor with 1.25 m knee wall
-45-degree roof pitch
-Fully basemented
2 adults + max. 2 children
