Pionarch was granted the project of finishing a residential basement and converting it into a functional apartment-like living space. It was the client’s dream to have significant design contrasts between the main and this lower level. They wanted to feel as if they were entering a completely different space when walking down those stairs. Each detail was designed specifically to emulate the open concept setup of a modern apartment.

In the entry hallway, built-in cabinets were installed at the foot of the stairs, as well as in the kitchen for optimal storage space. A kitchenette was designed with appliances built into the lower cabinets, above that a glass backsplash, and a bar running parallel to the back wall for additional dining space. Tall windows and glass sliding doors were installed towards the back of the space allowing as much natural light in as possible throughout the day. The open floor plan flows from the kitchenette, throughout the living room, to a full bedroom. Which was designed purposefully to create the most functional space out of a small unit. Located off of the entry hallway is the custom-designed bathroom. Which comes equipped with a spa-like curb less shower, waterfall showerheads, and a contemporary freestanding soaking tub. Radiant floors throughout the space create a heated surface for comfort during the cold New England winters.
