Project 05 · Residential basement
Basement living space
A lower level rebuilt around a modern fireplace feature, continuous flooring, improved lighting and clean painted finishes.

A brighter lower level anchored by one clean feature.
The fireplace wall gives the room a strong focal point while the lighter floor, recessed lighting and neutral finishes make the full basement feel open and connected.
