All-Trades Expertise
Delivering a basement renovation of this scale required seamless coordination across every trade. From damp-proofing and insulation works to joinery, plumbing, electrics, plastering, tiling, and decoration, our all-trades team worked in sequence to keep the programme smooth and efficient.
By managing all trades under one contract, we ensured consistent workmanship, clear communication, and no hidden surprises. The client benefited from one point of contact and a fixed cost plan, while we took care of the details behind the scenes.
Interior Design
The interiors were designed with colour, texture, and comfort in mind. A soft palette of greens, ochres, and neutrals was paired with natural timber flooring in herringbone, creating warmth and rhythm throughout.
A bespoke kitchen with two-tone cabinetry became the heart of the home, complemented by a vintage-inspired Smeg fridge and central island for sociable cooking and dining. Living areas were styled with layered textures — from bold fabrics and patterned cushions to simple, crafted furniture — making the flat feel inviting and personal. Bedrooms and quieter spaces carried the same design language, with clever built-in storage and warm lighting to enhance calm and comfort.
Construction
Careful planning and sequencing were essential in a basement setting, where access and daylight can be challenging. Our team handled all enabling works, upgrades to services, and restoration of period features. Timber flooring was laid throughout in a herringbone pattern, and bespoke joinery was fitted in living and bedroom spaces.
The build was completed with minimal disruption, working closely with neighbours and the factor to ensure a smooth delivery from start to finish.
Renovation & Design Results
The finished Dean Terrace flat is a lively yet calming home, with every room feeling considered and connected. The basement is now a bright, welcoming living hub, where the kitchen, dining, and lounge blend together without losing their distinct character. The interiors celebrate craftsmanship, colour, and comfort, while the restored period fabric anchors the home firmly in its Georgian setting.
The combination of architectural planning, thoughtful interior design, and all-trades delivery has transformed this property into a space that is both highly functional and full of personality — ready for modern family life in Edinburgh.
