The division of the two main spaces in this basement from TV area to games room was done by designing custom wood shelving that fit into the openings of the wall between structural posts. Instead of letting the challenges of this basement close up the space we came up with a creative and practical solution that allowed us to achieve an overall expansive feel throughout.

This lower-level entertainment area and spare bedroom is the perfect flex space for game nights, family gatherings, and hosting overnight guests. We furnished the space in a soft palette of light blues and cream-colored neutrals. This palette feels cohesive with the other rooms in the home and helps the area feel bright, with or without great natural lighting. For functionality, we also offered two seating options, this 2-3 person sofa and a comfortable upholstered chair that can be easily moved to face the TV or cozy up to the ottoman when you break out the board games.

Basement renovation: This is a multi-pupose room having a home office, TV area, craft/wrapping station, and storage. This view shows the craft table that is hung on the wall in the raised position and the legs folded down. The stool tucks back to the right of the table when the table is lowered back down.

This family of five lived in a 900sf 2 bedroom home that had a not quite tall enough basement. With one son just entering his teen years it was time to expand. Our design for the basement gained them 2 bedrooms, a second bath, a family room, and a soundproof music room. We demo’d the deck off the kitchen and replaced it with a compact 2-story addition. Upstairs is a light-filled breakfast room and below it one of the 2 new bedrooms. An interior stair now connects the upstairs to the basement with a door opening at a mid landingto access the backyard. The wall between the kitchen and the living room was removed. From the front door you are now greeted by a long view, through living room, kitchen and breakfast room of the beautiful oak in the backyard which was carefully tended through construction.

This bathroom was a must for the homeowners of this 100 year old home. Having only 1 bathroom in the entire home and a growing family, things were getting a little tight. This bathroom was part of a basement renovation which ended up giving the homeowners 14” worth of extra headroom. The concrete slab is sitting on 2” of XPS. This keeps the heat from the heated floor in the bathroom instead of heating the ground and it’s covered with hand painted cement tiles. Sleek wall tiles keep everything clean looking and the niche gives you the storage you need in the shower. Custom cabinetry was fabricated and the cabinet in the wall beside the tub has a removal back in order to access the sewage pump under the stairs if ever needed. The main trunk for the high efficiency furnace also had to run over the bathtub which lead to more creative thinking. A custom box was created inside the duct work in order to allow room for an LED potlight. The seat to the toilet has a built in child seat for all the little ones who use this bathroom, the baseboard is a custom 3 piece baseboard to match the existing and the door knob was sourced to keep the classic transitional look as well. Needless to say, creativity and finesse was a must to bring this bathroom to reality. Although this bathroom did not come easy, it was worth every minute and a complete success in the eyes of our team and the homeowners. An outstanding team effort. Leon T.
