Almost extinct structures

In the Renaissance architecture, a cellar had always been present. But, as the modern architecture came and changed the way houses are built, basements became extinct.

Cellars have an earthy quality. They make you feel that you have roots. Cellars provide so much additional space. Though the way the cellar is modeled can greatly impact the vibes it radiates. They really are enamouring structures. Whether it’s to hold a birthday party or a get together of the family or even a expanse of space as a playroom for children, the basement can cover it all.

Having a suitably lighted and properly ventilated cellar is an asset. Cellar is the best place to carry out secret assignments, a place to chill out with friends without disturbances.

Seeing basements in English movies always made me want to have one in our house. That never happened though, but it didn’t change my awe for them.

But alas! Now they are almost impossible to find. Another change in the classic house architecture.

P.S.- I do not belong to the architecture field. So ignore any incorrect references.
