The Place Between designed and project managed the renovations of the basement of this architecturally designed 3 bed victorian end of terrace property, in London SE15. The brief was to create an opening for the stairs for better ventilation and make this an office space with cellar under the stairs. The underfloor heating system also had to be repaired on both levels (basement and ground floor). The place was completely stripped back and a new staircase was fitted. For the interior design aspects, gold and whites were chosen as colour scheme. To cover the walls, we used cut to measure and high quality white acrylic panelling. Bespoke plywood carpentry was fitted to cover the utilities and make space for office files. Plenty of lighting for darker evenings complement the 3 large skylights. The flooring is eco friendly white vinyl roll. A strip of gold mosaic square tiles was added to mirror a feature already on the ground floor, creating a feeling of continuity in the home. The results are a bright, funky, cool and airy space to work from home and store wine.

The basement music studio was acoustically designed to the clients requirements. Areas of glazed flooring were added to the ground floor to bring daylight into music studio located in the basement. Additionally, the basement was further excavated and underpinned to improve headroom and allow the space to be fully waterproofed.

Our client wanted to make use of the cellar underneath the victorian Hotel Bar and restaurant. Knowing there has been a wealth of art, comedy and music in the venue our proposal was a listening room. Taking inspiration from our passion of Japanese listening rooms we set about designing a space which is acoustically treated for the custom designed Hifi. The space is used for film, DJ`S, Events and private functions. We are please to have supplied the design ethos, technology to deliver the room a musical experience like no other commercial basement in Essex.

This image provides a glimpse of the basement entrance, serving as a gateway from the private carpark to the interior of the residence. Designed with both functionality and style in mind, the entrance exudes a sense of sophistication and convenience. Overall, this basement entrance exemplifies the perfect marriage of form and function, embodying the luxurious yet practical design philosophy of the residence. The sleek and modern architecture of the entranceway sets the tone for the rest of the home, offering a preview of the luxurious interior that awaits beyond. Crisp lines and carefully chosen materials create a contemporary aesthetic, while subtle lighting fixtures enhance the ambiance and guide visitors into the space.

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.

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.

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.
