For someone who is not on the usa. How does this structure look like beneath? Is there really space wasted to have some part of the room at a little lower level?
I’ve never been in a house with a conversation pit, almost no Americans have actually seen one. They’re a leftover from the 60s and 70s when people were high on coke or “weight loss” pills.
My dad had one years ago - house was built in the mid 60s. Phoenix area. No basement. Concrete slab. So yeah, the slab was poured with that pit in it, under it was just dirt.
