Before we started, there was no basement Situated in Wandsworth, London, the property was just your normal suburban terraced house. The new owners wanted to create a more spacious home, perfect to entertain in and for family life. SDA Build London were called upon to extend the house in all directions and transform it into a space with a cinema room, bar area and even a gym. SDA Build London are a team of award-winning builders that specialise in refurbishments, renovations and restorations. With almost 100 projects completed, Samir Ene (Sammy to colleagues and clients) and the SDA Build London team are known for their expertise, eye for detail and ability to find workable solutions to unforeseen challenges. Sammy knew a rear extension would be possible, but limitations in property development in the area meant that in order to achieve the maximum space possible, SDA would have to build downwards. Working with the designers at Ade Architecture, the addition of an entire floor underneath the house was planned. The centre piece of the extensive basement renovation is undoubtedly the home cinema room. With artisan- built furniture, luxury seating, Dolby Atmos surround sound and 100% sound proofing - the movie experience rivals most cinemas. The owners also wanted to add a private bar area that could be used as a natural extension of the garden. With no permission to extend the property above ground, SDA utilised the basement conversion. The open design with transparent sliding doors, natural lighting and colour palette of the staircase means it feels like the garden flows in from above ground.
