sunken patio as way to do a walkout/daylight basement on flat lot

OK, I've seen this a few times and think it's a great idea, but have any of you done this or seen plans?

Say you have a flat lot or one with very little slope. And you want a walkout (daylight, if you prefer) basement. Rather than messing with trying to grade the property, why not place a sunken patio, with steps and a terrace, at the walkout exit, that then walks back up to grade? I have seen one or two homes in the past like this, and it really makes a nice serene outdoor spot, plus allows you to have the daylight basement...
