A Space for Work and Play

What was the challenge?

The homeowners undertook this basement renovation to bring their vision of a perfect dual-use space to life. With a deep appreciation for the small community where they chose to raise their family and the convenience of running a successful technology business from home, they aimed to create a space that could function as both a productive office and a vibrant family area during the day, then transform into an inviting entertainment zone by night.

What was delivered?

The finished basement now reflects a rich, restaurant-inspired aesthetic through the use of layered textures, warm materials, and clever design elements. Integrated smart lighting, hidden doors, and advanced tech features enhance the overall experience. Originally designed to include a large saltwater aquarium, the plan shifted after an unexpected rupture caused significant damage. In response, a custom wine enclosure was installed in its place, now serving as one of the space’s most striking features. Throughout the basement, thoughtful spatial planning includes a private guest bedroom hidden behind a double bookcase, a luxury bathroom, multiple lounge zones with fireplaces and games tables, and an office with voltage-controlled privacy glass. Structural elements such as teleposts and HVAC were skillfully concealed within millwork and decorative finishes, making the space both highly functional and seamlessly integrated into the home.
