Basement Architects
At Gregory Phillips Architects, our Basement Design and Interior Styling services go beyond creating additional space, they transform subterranean areas into vibrant, light-filled living environments. Every basement interior is an opportunity to enhance architectural potential, using refined proportions, premium materials, and meticulous detailing to create spaces that are contemporary, welcoming, and timeless.
Why Choose Gregory Phillips Architects for Basement Design?
Our basement interiors are founded on a philosophy of understated elegance and craftsmanship. We integrate natural materials such as stone, timber, and metal with clean modern forms and clever spatial planning to create basements that feel open, functional, and inviting, far from traditional cramped or dark spaces.
We specialise in maximising natural light and connection to the outside through innovative use of light wells, glazed openings, and courtyard designs, ensuring that your basement benefits from daylight and ventilation while maintaining privacy and comfort. Our designs balance dramatic architectural gestures with cosy, intimate zones, all tailored to your lifestyle and needs.
Attention to detail is paramount: we work closely with skilled craftsmen and trusted suppliers to source and deliver the highest quality bespoke materials and finishes. From custom joinery and hand-finished surfaces to tailored lighting solutions, every element is crafted with care to enhance atmosphere, durability, and wellbeing. Whether integrating a new basement into a listed property, creating a sleek contemporary extension, or upgrading existing lower ground spaces, our designs respond thoughtfully to both architecture and site.
Our Process for Basement Design
We begin by understanding how you want to use your basement, whether for entertaining, relaxation, wellness, or work, and your style preferences. Mood boards, material palettes, and conceptual sketches help us align your vision early on.
Spatial planning focuses on optimising flow, daylight penetration, and connections to upper floors and outdoor spaces. We carefully consider sightlines, ceiling heights, and natural ventilation to ensure the basement feels light, airy, and comfortable.
Material selection is key, whether natural stone, warm timber, or sleek metals, we choose finishes that age gracefully and enhance the sensory experience. Our strong partnerships with specialist suppliers and craftsmen guarantee that bespoke joinery, surfaces, and fittings meet the highest standards.
We also specify lighting that balances functionality with architectural drama, sculpting form, mood, and comfort throughout the day and evening.
Finally, styling adds the personal touch, through carefully selected fabrics, artworks, and accessories that complement the basement’s architectural character and your lifestyle.

Creating Exceptional Living Spaces Below Ground
Our basement interiors are designed to be as liveable as they are beautiful spaces where form meets function and everyday life can unfold with ease. Whether a new-build lower ground floor or a sensitive conversion, our designs offer a timeless, contemporary approach that redefines what a basement can be.
