Subterranean Style: Basement & Cellar Conversions in the New Town
Converting a basement in Edinburgh’s New Town is one of the most effective ways to add significant value and square footage to a UNESCO World Heritage property.
At Arc Developments, we are experts in transforming damp, dark cellars into vibrant cinema rooms, home offices, or self-contained guest suites.
Navigating the New Town Challenge:
Damp Proofing & Tanking: We use advanced membrane systems and structural waterproofing specifically designed for Edinburgh’s unique ground conditions and stone foundations.
Planning & Listed Consent: Working in the New Town requires specialized knowledge of Category A and B listed building regulations. We manage the entire consent process for you.
Light Optimisation: Using innovative light-wells and frameless glass, we ensure your new basement feels as bright and airy as the floors above.
