Basement renovation presents a unique opportunity to optimise and transform underutilised space into functional, aesthetically pleasing areas that significantly enhance a property's overall value and livability.

Step-by-Step Guide for London Basement Renovations In response to the surging trend of basement constructions in London's Kensington & Chelsea Borough, the local Council has proactively implemented measures to curtail the scale of new or extended basements.

The excavator is coming tomorrow to dig the whole perimeter of our house for the waterproofing. I think we're going to have the ugliest property on the street for awhile. The back of the house already looks pretty bad and it's going to get even worse! Once this water proofing is done we can get moving on with the basement reno which I am really excited about. One of our goals for the basement is to get more natural light down there. We only have four small windows, of which three face north, down there. You can see the windows in this shot of the back of the house after the deck was dismantled. For reference, the upper level large window on the left is our dining room, the shorter window in the middle is our kitchen and the door goes to the landing with our mini mudroom and stairs to the basement. We have been thinking of ways to make the windows bigger, but the latest idea has been to make some kind of a walk out/walk up basement. My first idea was to build a small staircase extension off the dining room to make a walkout from the dining room and a walk up from the basement. Something like this: {via} I really liked this idea because it would have connected both the basement and dining room with our back yard. However, in the end we have decided against it because we are thinking of adding onto our house behind the garage. Building the staircase extension would have meant building an extension on top of an extension. The latest idea is to create a walk out/walk up under the dining room and part of the kitchen. Here's my crude photoshop mock up of what we're hoping to do. Our house is built up on a bit of a mound so we will have to get concrete work done for retaining walls and it will have to walk up a little to get to the yard. The idea is to have a patio outside of the walkout and then the steps up to the yard. Can you sort of see it here? The September issue of Canadian House and Home has this fabulous walk up basement (they also have it on their online video this week). It has a huge window that has the modern look to it that we love. We are hoping to change all our windows on the house to something a little cleaner with less/no mullions and change them to a dark grey/black similar to our screen door. It also has a nice patio space with a bench and planter poured from concrete. {my photos of September 2013 House&Home} Here's another idea with the floor-to-ceiling window and a concrete patio. I don't think we'll have a kitchen in our basement though. :) {via} A couple more images of walk up basements: {via} {via} I think the walkout will make the basement much more liveable and much less like a dungeon/cave. I am really excited about the possibilities that a walk out will create: Access to the laundry from the back yard, a mudroom, more comfortable family room/playroom, etc. Now I'm just hoping our idea will get the okay and we can actually go ahead with the plan! *sharing this post here, betweennapsontheporch
This luxury Mountain home plan features an array of gables enhanced by timber frames, along with an arched roof above the welcoming front porch. This spacious design delivers a courtyard entry, double-sided fireplace that warms the living and dining rooms, vaulted ceilings, and an island kitchen with a walk-in pantry. The living space expands outdoors with easy access to sizable decks. The master bedroom neighbors a home office, and a guest suite offers friends a comfortable and private space with exterior access. Above the angled 4-car garage, discover a 2-bedroom apartment with an open living, dining, and kitchenette space that flows onto a deck; perfect for in-laws or a boomerang child. Downstairs, oversized sliding doors consume the rear wall of the rec room and lead to a covered patio. Unfinished storage space and two additional bedrooms complete the lower level.
Basement apartments can be a risk, but these prove that they can be just as airy and bright as any other apartment in the building!
