Basement extension and remodelling scheme, South-east London

Shortlisted for Reader's Choice Award: Remodelling & Extension Schemes

Katie Froud – with a little help from RDA Architects – has transformed her South-East London semi-detached home with a huge basement extension and remodelling scheme. The basement now forms the heart of the family home, hosting an informal living area and generous kitchen/dining space that opens up through sliding doors onto the private garden. Additional improvements include the introduction of double height spaces, internal galleries and the refurbishment of the rest of the property.

"The new basement extension has truly become the heart of Katie’s home thanks to it being everything that basements usually aren’t – namely light, airy and comfortable."

Jason Orme, Editor of Homebuilding & Renovating magazine

"Fashionable updating of leafy suburban villa. All the usual wow factor kit - shiny white island kitchen in open plan layout opening on to terrace. Lovely? Yes. But a little sterile? Discuss."

Peter Harris, Managing Director of Centaur Special Interest Media

"The most enormous basement, so huge and gorgeous it doesn’t feel underground at all – but what do they do with their ground floor rooms now?"

Angela Pertusini, former Editor of The Daily Telegraph’s award-winning Property section
