Basement Design Portfolio - Transformed Lower Level Living Spaces
We believe every square foot of your home should support the way you actually live. That includes the spaces most people treat as afterthoughts. Basements are not just for storage. They are lower levels, but not lower tiers. Basements are prime opportunities to extend your home’s functionality—and maybe even its soul.
We don’t do “finished” basements; we do designed basements. That means rethinking low ceilings, limited light, and moisture challenges not as limitations, but as design prompts. We lean into the perks—privacy, sound insulation, and generous bonus square footage—and shape them into spaces you’ll actually want to spend time in.
In our Westside Understory project, we uncovered the basement’s original limestone walls, ground down to highlight warm aggregate concrete floors, and lined the space with custom maple shelves. The result? A light-filled retreat that honors the century-old home above while claiming its own identity below. Whether you dream of a guest suite, a moody media room, a tucked-away gym, or a secret wine cellar, we’ll give your lower level the same design attention as your living room.
With a little imagination and a lot of intention, we turn overlooked and undervalued into outstanding. When your whole home works better, life flows a little more easily.
