- Service
- Basement renovation
The homeowners wanted to downsize their living space as they got older while renting out the upper floors for a steady second income.
We turned the unfinished basement into a stylish, functional and fully code-compliant legal unit with its own private entrance.
Scope
- Unfinished basement built out as a legal unit
- Existing stair to the main floor removed
- New private walk-up entrance
- Kitchen, living and dining areas in an open plan
Materials, as photographed
- Navy Shaker cabinets
- Brass pulls
- White quartz island
- Pale oak floor
The challenge
Giving the unit independent access: the staircase that joined the basement to the main floor came out, and a new walk-up entry was built in its place.
