Fully-Functional Reinforced Basements

01

Home Cinema

Transforming your basement into a home cinema is a great way to create a private entertainment space. The naturally low-light conditions of a reinforced basement make it the perfect space for cosying up and watching films with loved ones. Adding soundproofing and built-in technology can enhance the space further.

02

Personal Gym

A basement can serve as a fully equipped home gym. By having your own space to work out, you won’t have to worry about traffic, journey time, and whether it’s too busy. These benefits all add to your willingness to exercise and promote consistency.

03

Guest or Additional Bedroom

In London, extra bedrooms are highly sought after, with Barking, Kensington and Chelsea being no exception. Our stunning basement conversions can provide a spacious guest suite or an additional bedroom for a growing family.
