Creativity means embracing the charm and character of the space and home to maximize function and create a foyer area that feels more spacious than it truly is. Removing sheetrock from a hand hewn structural beam that had been covered for a century brought about the home's history in a way that no pricey reclaimed beam ever could. Adding shiplap and rustic tin captured a hint of the farmhouse feel the homeowners love and mixed with the subtle integration of pipe throughout, from the gas line running along the beam to the use of pipe as railing between the open stair feature and cozy living space, for a cohesive design. Rustic charm softens and warms bold colors and patterns throughout. Mixed with the lines of the shiplap and classic color palette, global inspirations and Indian design elements can shine.

We were hired to finish the basement of our clients cottage in Haliburton. The house is a woodsy craftsman style. Basements can be dark so we used pickled pine to brighten up this 3000 sf space which allowed us to remain consistent with the vibe of the overall cottage. We delineated the large open space in to four functions - a Family Room (with projector screen TV viewing above the fireplace and a reading niche); a Game Room with access to large doors open to the lake; a Guest Bedroom with sitting nook; and an Exercise Room. Glass was used in the french and barn doors to allow light to penetrate each space. Shelving units were used to provide some visual separation between the Family Room and Game Room. The fireplace referenced the upstairs fireplace with added inspiration from a photo our clients saw and loved. We provided all construction docs and furnishings will installed soon.

From addressing recurring water problems to integrating common eyesores seamlessly into the overall design, this basement transformed into a space the whole family (and their guests) love. Like many 1920s homes in the Linden Hills area, the basement felt narrow, dark, and uninviting, but Homes and Such was committed to identifying creative solutions within the existing structure that transformed the space. Subtle tweaks to the floor plan made better use of the available square footage and created an openish layout, which gives the illusion of space in a 100-year-old basement with low ceilings.

Our client wanted to make use of the cellar underneath the victorian Hotel Bar and restaurant. Knowing there has been a wealth of art, comedy and music in the venue our proposal was a listening room. Taking inspiration from our passion of Japanese listening rooms we set about designing a space which is acoustically treated for the custom designed Hifi. The space is used for film, DJ`S, Events and private functions. We are please to have supplied the design ethos, technology to deliver the room a musical experience like no other commercial basement in Essex.

From addressing recurring water problems to integrating common eyesores seamlessly into the overall design, this basement transformed into a space the whole family (and their guests) love. Nearby is a small workspace, adding bonus function to this cozy basement and taking advantage of all available space. Like many 1920s homes in the Linden Hills area, the basement felt narrow, dark, and uninviting, but Homes and Such was committed to identifying creative solutions within the existing structure that transformed the space. Subtle tweaks to the floor plan made better use of the available square footage and created a more functional design. At the bottom of the stairs, a bedroom was transformed into a cozy, living space, creating more openness with a central foyer and separation from the guest bedroom spaces.

Opening up the main area in the basement and changes to the floor plan resulted in two rear bedrooms that maximize sleeping capacity (a must for our client), while also allowing the most natural movement throughout the space. Custom doors throughout detract from the varying ceiling heights and add drama to the space, drawing the eye up. The first bedroom was created using the former living space and offers maximum sleeping capacity. With two queen beds, this room offers everything guests need, complete with a custom, built-in nightstand that camouflages what was previously an unsightly, but necessary gas shutoff. This 1920s basement’s low ceilings and ductwork were seamlessly integrated throughout the space. In this bedroom, we were especially concerned with a small section of ductwork and how to integrate into the design. Lacking a closet space, a simple section of black pipe creates a natural spot to hang clothing, while also feeling cohesive with the overall design and use of pipe detail in common areas. The second bedroom features more sleeping space, with custom doors (in place of existing bi-fold doors) that allow the closet to function better and a bonus door that blends into the design, while providing access to another basement necessity - the water shutoff. A simple reorientation of the existing bed opened up the space and made it feel completely different. Bold wallpaper captures the homeowners’ design vibe and spirit while integrating existing pieces from throughout their home to complete the design and further capture the client’s style.
