This client wanted a full basement renovation. Basement was a mere 650 square feet so the request was that every square inch be utilized to its maximum potential. The intent was to create an in-law suite, integrating a kitchenette, sleeping area, home office, 3 piece bath and laundry room while accommodating the necessary mechanicals and not incurring any structural changes ie. removal of the cumbersome support posts. Now that’s a tall order.

Features:

  • Pot lights throughout
  • Wall sconces in the day bed area
  • 3-way and 4-way switches eliminated doubling back to switch on/off lights
  • New exterior windows
  • Under stair storage
  • Pocket doors throughout including a custom 54″ pocket door using two vintage doors
  • Day bed with integrated blanket box, storage and shelving
  • Built in book shelves
  • Accommodations for a 46″ flat screen television
  • Centralized hose bib shut-offs
  • Foam insulation throughout
  • Dricore R+ insulated subfloor panels
