Basement construction
& conversion.
Basement construction and conversion with structural and waterproofing strategy established from the outset, followed through into carefully specified living, leisure and wellness interiors.
Discuss your project
Engineered from the outset.
Below-ground work begins with the engineering. The building, ground conditions and intended use inform the structural and waterproofing strategy, developed with the appropriate specialists before construction is planned. We coordinate that technical input with the architectural brief and the sequence of work on site.
The interior is considered from the beginning. Daylight, ventilation, ceiling height and circulation determine whether the space feels like a natural part of the home. Building services, lighting and specialist finishes are integrated into the programme, whether the brief is for additional living accommodation, leisure space or a quieter place to retreat.
Technical decisions come first
Structure, waterproofing, ventilation and the intended use of the space have a close relationship in a basement. Specialist input is needed to establish the appropriate approach for the building and ground conditions. These decisions inform the design, construction sequence and eventual interior fit-out.

Planning your project.
Can a basement be part of a whole-house refurbishment?
Yes. Our Highbury house refurbishment included basement works within a wider residential scope. For a new brief, the extent of basement construction or conversion is established through the appropriate technical assessment.
What can the proposed space be used for?
The brief may include additional living accommodation, leisure or wellness space. What is suitable depends on the building, the design and the technical requirements of the proposed use.
Let’s shape
something enduring.
Whether you are at the earliest stage of a brief or ready to begin on site, we welcome a conversation. Every enquiry is handled personally.
Share your plans, drawings or initial ideas. We will discuss the property, the scope and the next steps towards a considered proposal.
