Tech/Engineering - Architecture / architecture
Dutch term or phrase: pothuis
This refers to architecture in the 15th century in Amsterdam. I have not got much context as it is in a caption to a picture. "Begane grond met insteek. Pothuizen, maar geen kelder."

basement flat


Explanation:
Een pothuis is de lage uitbouw aan de voorzijde van het huis, dat een deel van de voetstraat in beslag nam. Oorspronkelijk was het doel ervan een aparte toegang te hebben naar het sous-terrain, de keuken en de kelders. Een ander woord voor pothuis = kelderwoning, dat woord staat in de VD genoemd als basement flat

Did some googling around and semi-underground cellar extension is beter dan basement flat. Semi-underground celllar extension is 15e eeuws and basement flat is van nu
