Large victorian walk-out basement in London with beige walls, medium hardwood flooring and a feature wall.

A foliage wallpaper was chosen to add a bit of fun to the playroom media room. The uninteresting small hallway was painted in a dark green shade by Little Greene paint company.

The basement was further excavated and underpinned to improve headroom and allow the space to be fully waterproofed. The material palette for the project was carefully chosen based on light, natural materials. Floors in a poured resin floor gives a light and smooth finish to the basement. Walls in white oiled timber with concealed doors to the music room, shower room, utility room and storage to create a clean, minimalist feel to space.

Stepped terraced access from the basement TV space create a flowing connection to the rear garden.

Our client bought a Hacienda styled house in Hove, Sussex, which was unloved, and had a dilapidated pool and garden, as well as a tired interior. We provided a full architectural and interior design service through to completion of the project, developing the brief with the client, and managing a complex project and multiple team members including an M and E consultant, stuctural engineer, specialist pool and glazing suppliers and landscaping designers. We created a new basement under the house and garden, utilising the gradient of the site, to minimise excavation and impact on the house. It contains a new swimming pool, gym, living and entertainment areas, as well as storage and plant rooms. Accessed through a new helical staircase, the basement area draws light from 2 full height glazed walls opening onto a lower garden area. The glazing was a Skyframe system supplied by cantifix. We also inserted a long linear rooflight over the pool itself, which capture sunlight onto the water below. The existing house itself has been extended in a fashion sympathetic to the original look of the house. We have built out over the existing garage to create new living and bedroom accommodation, as well as a new ensuite. We have also inserted a new glazed cupola over the hallway and stairs, and remodelled the kitchen, with a curved glazed wall and a modern family kitchen. A striking new landscaping scheme by Alladio Sims has embeded the redeveloped house into its setting. It is themed around creating a journey around different zones of the upper and lower gardens, maximising opportunities of the site, views of the sea and using a mix of hard and soft landscaping. A new minimal car port and bike storage keep cars away from the front elevation of the house. Having obtained planning permission for the works in 2019 via Brighton and Hove council, for a new basement and remodelling of the the house, the works were carrried out and completed in 2021 by Woodmans, a contractor we have partnered with on many occasions.

The basement is accessed via a solid wooden spiral staircase leading to a large playroom / gym room, cinema room, swimming pool and spa. The basement also offers a guest flat with two double bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, a living room, and a kitchenette.

Playroom for kids and media room for the whole family.

This is an example of a large contemporary walk-out basement in London with beige walls and a feature wall.

The entrance to this versatile media room (that works as a library, a friends meeting room, a music room and, of course, a home cinema that fits up tp a 90" flat screen (better than roll down screens) had to be warm and inviting. Every time I see this picture, I want to go into the room. You feel like you bedazzled in. The Crittal doors allow your view to run all the way to very end letting it rest on the lovely garden wall. The air conditioning keeps the room at the right temperature no matter how many guests are having fun. Moreover, LED strips have been set in the Art Deco coving to allow the right ambiance whilst enjoying the home experience. The main cost of this build is, as always the basement dig out. There was only soil and a house above when we started.

This space was originally designed as an exhibition space for art on the wall. However, approaching the finish of the buit a family had been formed and the use changed into a family room.

This project focused on transforming a tired basement into a vibrant and welcoming space for entertaining and relaxing. We reimagined the original bar area with new cabinetry, mirrored backdrops, and warm lighting to create a stylish focal point, while the rest of the room was redecorated to bring cohesion and energy through bold colour choices, soft textures, and layered lighting. The result is a versatile, sociable space that now feels inviting and connected to the rest of the home.
