the design brief

We were tasked with crafting a multi-functional environment, focused on the integration of a family-centric movie area, a productive home office, a wet bar and seating area, alongside an open concept gym and workout area. 

Our mission for this design was centered around the transformation of a basement space into a dynamic urban retreat, blending functionality with contemporary style.

Project budget: 15K 
Client DIY - no trades hired
