Cardea Building Co. Yes, the existing basement was excavated several feet to create this new room and thus the concrete foundation needed to be wider at the base to tie into the existing per the engineering details. The soffit above the bookshelves hides utilities like ductwork, gas lines and water lines. This photo was taken during the day so a good amount of light comes into the space. The ceiling height is just over 8' tall.
Love the built-ins along the basement wall. We could store tons of books and games....and even the pesky items that don't need to be seen (Christmas decorations, etc.) could be placed in the bottom.

i like the built ins and the bumped out beadboard wall... very nice. only thing I'd like better would be to turn the bottom bump out into "secret" storage.
