The problem is, with an leveled camera and standing on the basement
level, photographing an structure towering above, half of your picture
will show the floor.
So you either can use an shift lens (and might have "problems" with the
wide angle perspective) or you might try to photograph from an elevated
position (preferable half of the heigth of your structure), which is in
many cases cheaper than buying an shift lens.
If possible, you might try to take the picture from a greater distance
using a longer lens, this will reduce the amount of tilt you need to
eliminate the foreground (floor).
Problem is, this will not posible for most interiors and there will
still be a slight (natural looking) distorsion.
