A few years back, the U.K. newspaper The Telegraph<\/i> reported that a $1.5 million London home had collapsed \u201cinto a pile of rubble<\/a>\u201d as its owner attempted to construct a vast, two-story basement extension beneath the period property. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the incident once again throws a spotlight on the continuing trend of wealthy developers creating what are known as \u201ciceberg homes<\/a>\u201d in the English capital.<\/p>\n

With land prices in London spiraling upwards since the 2008 financial crash, property owners in the city have increasingly chosen to dig down to increase the floor area \u2014 and the value \u2014 of their tightly packed residences. Unfortunately, this has led to a number of acrimonious clashes between those owners and their neighbors, not to mention planning officers trying to get to grips with the limits of ever more gargantuan proposals throughout London\u2019s most prestigious neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

As a means of communicating just how cavernous some of these “super basements” have become, section drawings and plans are ideal. Taking a slice through these properties and their subterranean additions perfectly illustrates this real estate phenomenon, provoking questions about the structural limits of such constructions in densely packed urban areas. We\u2019ve surfaced five of the most outrageous \u2014 take a look and let us know what you think of these overblown interventions over on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Edmund and Carol Lazarus\u2019 Leisure Center<\/b><\/p>\n

In 2014, proposals were drawn up for one of London\u2019s largest ever basement extensions beneath a Victorian villa in Holland Park. Proposed by ADAM Architecture for clients Edmund and Carol Lazarus, the 16,000-square-foot, three-story addition was designed to accommodate an 82-foot-long swimming pool, an entertainment room, wine cellar, cigar room, massage rooms, gymnasium, dance studio, hot tub, sauna and steam rooms.<\/p>\n

Jon Hunt\u2019s Car Museum<\/b><\/p>\n

In 2015, the founder of Foxtons estate agents Jon Hunt submitted plans for arguably the most \u201cmega\u201d of all of London\u2019s mega-basements. A five-story-high \u201cferris wheel\u201d was designed to display his collection of classic cars. The wheel was proposed as the centerpiece of a subterranean museum for all his vintage vehicles, complete with glass floors and viewing galleries. Mr. Hunt\u2019s plans for the 80-foot-deep extension also included a swimming pool and full-size tennis court.<\/p>\n

Last year, British artist Damien Hirst \u2014 reportedly the \u201cWorld\u2019s Richest Living Artist\u201d \u2014 had his planning application for a gargantuan addition below his Grade 1\u2013listed property in London\u2019s Regent Park area. Designed by British architecture firm Purcell, the plans incorporate a two-story-tall \u201cart room,\u201d a cargo elevator capable of lifting large-scale artworks weighing up to 11 tons and an 82-foot-long swimming pool.<\/p>\n

According to the Daily Mail<\/i>, businessman Robert Beecham \u2014 known for making his fortune selling Star Wars merchandise, no less \u2014 \u201cpunched the air in delight\u201d when his planning application for a 200-foot-long subterranean extension was approved by Camden council in March 2016. It\u2019s no wonder he was excited \u2014 the proposals include, among other things, a salt grotto, a Roman-style tepidarium and a banquet hall with capacity for up to 80 diners.<\/p>\n

The Ultimate Super Basement<\/b><\/p>\n

Although it is hard to pinpoint the exact address and client for this extraordinary proposal, the section drawing above has been used in countless articles<\/a> on the subject of London\u2019s basement boom. It is unsurprising, given the incredible depth and programmatic variety on show \u2014 with a bowling alley, games room and cavernous climbing wall, this extension would surely make this regal abode the ultimate \u201ciceberg home.\u201d<\/p>\n
