H istory of Basements
It’s already out there
What is a Basement?
Basements are nothing new, some of our most fa mous and respected buildings
and a rchitects have in previous centuries exploited the potential o f a basement asa ha bitable option. In fa ct basements can be found in some of our earliest churchesand religious buildings.
Prior to the first world war basements were commonly used as accommodation fordomestic staff. Their inclusion within t he building structure was o ften mad e simplebecause of the need to dig d eep foundations due to the lack of high tech buildingtechniques and, of course, at t hat t ime there were no restrictions on the density ofpersons living together within the building footprint.
After the wa r there were fewer people entering domestic service so the need foraccommoda tion ‘below stairs’ wa s reduced. The demand fo r cheap volume housingsoared a nd large a reas of land were released for development in the suburbs. Thisincrease in social housing came hand in hand with va stly improved transportinfrastructure and the birth of urban sprawl was underway.
The wheel is now turning full circle – land is in short supply and the governmentwishes to increase housing density. M eanwhile this nation o f house owners isdemanding more individual space w ithin their ‘castle’.
The basement is the lowest floor o f a building,
usually, but not always, fully below ground.The basement can often be considered the floorlevel below the primary entry level.
Basement/n. the lowest
floor of a building usu. at
least partly below ground
level. [probably Dutch,
perhaps from Italian
basamento ‘column-base’]
One reason for selecting a ba sement route to increase the floor area o f a pro perty isto o vercome planning objections. Often development of a plot w ill be restricted by
the influences of neighbouring properties or local authorities. Planning d epartmentscurrently tend t o restrict height, and in ma ny instances are more likely to allow increased volume below ground.
Here a traditional house with a two-storeyfrontage has cut away the garden to createa complete extra floor at ba sement level.
If you’re still in doubt, just remember that inthis country there are thousands of examples ofdomestic architecture successfully completedwith a basement. Many of these date back morethan 100 y ears but some w ere completed in thelast few years.
In the United Kingdom last y ear 1.7% of
all new housing included a basement. Peopletoday are again starting to see the benefits of abasement and a re getting maximum living spacefrom t heir building plots.
