This inspirational short film features a number of remarkable self-build projects, each one built with a basement used either for additional living space, accommodation space or fun features such as a home cinema and a gym.

The spacious, light filled basements featured in this short film will change the way you think of basement space forever.

All of the featured self-build projects were entries in The Daily Telegraph Homebuilding & Renovating Awards 2004 & 2005, and filmed for the special awards programmes shown on Discovery Realtime (formerly Discovery Home & Leisure).  The film footage is reproduced courtesy of Discovery Realtime (www.homeandleisure.co.uk) and i2i television (www.i2itelevision.com).
