Our client's basement was ready to be finished. High ceilings and an expansive floor plan made it perfect for a fun entertaining space and built in gym for the kids.

We started by making sure there was enough room for their daughter's gymnastics and a place to run! An open ceiling allowed us to integrate built in monkey bars for practice and a climbing wall completed the cool kids gym.

A galvanized metal wall highlights the wet bar, housing a convenient, built in undercounter beverage center, a microwave, and plenty of room for parties.

What you don't see is the is the client's concealed archery range - perfect for practicing when the kids aren't downstairs!

Family and friends can stay in the new guest suite- coupled with a cozy sectional for movie nights.

The result is a bright and welcoming basement - ready to entertain!

Our client wanted a modern, but cozy space for the family that includes two teenagers and their friends to hang out. The basement had been used as storage for over 30 years. Previous homeowners had tried to update the dark basement, but when we met with our client - they wanted a full overhaul of the space!

This party basement is equipped with 2 bars, a shuffleboard table, a ping pong table, integrated neon party ceiling lights, a "selfie swing", an adult beverage tasting room (complete with iron locking barn doors) and an 80" flat screen TV.

We started by relocating the stairs from the front of the house to the back, by the pool. Now, sunlight pours down the steps allowing natural light to flood the rooms and a convenient pool bathroom is right around the corner with storage for pool towels and wet suits.

Repeating wood by using it on the walls, ceilings, countertops, and posts keep the monochromatic basement warm and serene. Rich hardwood floors (yes, they can be installed in a basement!) run through out making it feel expansive and inviting for friends.
