Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to clarify the space organization and dwelling usage in the basement of detached houses in Canada. In 1992, I investigated 23 houses in Edmonton and Saskatoon. According to my reserch: 1.More than half of the basement space is used as a family living space. 2.The family space is used as a playroom for children during the early stages of family life cycle. 3.The family room. study room, and laundry room-all have special characteristics that provide a relaxing environment for severe Canadian winter.
