Our goal for the lower-level transformation was to create a much-needed space for family entertaining, relaxing, and gathering. Starting with a large, unfinished basement, we worked closely with the homeowners to thoughtfully design a space that would accommodate their many needs while reflecting their personalities and passions.

Rich, deep colors, layered textures, and warm wood tones were carried throughout the lower level, creating a cozy contrast to the light and bright spaces found elsewhere in the home. One of the most unique features is the hidden “secret room,” concealed behind a wall of wainscoting and designed to showcase the homeowners’ treasured sports collection. The space includes two wine coolers, a beverage refrigerator, cigar humidor, and a concealed exhaust system in the ceiling that allows smoke to be vented directly outdoors.

Throughout the design, the homeowners’ collections of personal jerseys and vintage records became an important part of the story, giving the space a sense of authenticity and personal meaning. The result is a lower level that feels sophisticated and inviting, but most importantly, is uniquely designed around the people who call it home. What a fun project to be a part of!
