Basement – 2102
before and afterBasement – 2102
The Older couple reside in golf course community wanted to expand their horizon and finish up their unfinished basement for entertainment purposes and more.
- Their wish list contained of:
- exercise room
- Full scale movie theater
- fireplace area
- Guest Bedroom
- full size master bath suite style
- full bar area
- entertainment and pool table area
- tray ceiling
Design team went to work and drew up plans and finally they all reached to a mutually agreed plans to accommodate all of the above.
- Challenges:
- Stair location has created a tough layout
- Steel columns due to sunk in family room above
- Creating hidden compartment for all AV equipment
- Create storage space
- Bar location and bathroom location both far away from soil stack
- Solutions:
- Through major breaking concrete and running ground plumbing,we have used a dead corner of basement by staircase to tuck in the bar area.
- The dual entrance bathroom from bedroom and main entertainment area was located on far wall to create a large uninterrupted main floor area
- Use of custom barn door for closet given major floor space to bedroom
