ABSTRACT:
A residential building construction comprising four interconnected foundation walls which are partially sunk below a ground surface and support the floor across their upper end. Two side walls, a front wall and a back wall are supported by and extended upwardly from the foundation walls while a roof extends across and covers the side walls, back wall and front wall. A first interior wall extends between the floor and the roof at a position spaced inwardly but parallel to the front wall while, similarly, a second interior wall extends between the floor and roof at a position spaced inwardly but parallel to the back wall. The interior walls together with the building side walls form a living space of conventional height. In addition, the housing front wall preferably includes two windows having portions extending both above and below the housing floor. These windows provide illumination for the lower living level and, simultaneously, give the building construction the appearance of a conventional ranch home.
