The client's basement was a poorly-finished strange place; was cluttered and not functional as an entertainment space. We updated to a club-like atmosphere to include a state of the art entertainment area, poker/card table, unique curved bar area, karaoke and dance floor area with a disco ball to provide reflecting fractals above to pull the focus to the center of the area to tell everyone; this is where the action is!

House parties are a regular event here and inspired many of our design decisions. The front door opens directly into the kitchen - the center of party action. I designed the cabinetry as a geometric composition that plays off the art and the feel of a gallery home. Photo by Brad Dickson

This playroom is every soccer-loving kid’s dream come true! Designed for two elementary school-aged boys, it’s now a kids soccer indoor playroom, complete with commercial-grade padded turf and inset white lines for that real-game feel. We also threw in some ninja elements, a yoga swing, and a basketball hoop, so there’s no shortage of action and fun. The boys can play soccer year-round, rain or shine! To kick things up a notch, we added a super fun, striped custom mural on the walls and ceiling, giving the whole space tons of energy. It’s the ultimate playroom for soccer, strength, and endless fun.

Perfect for a boy who loves action figures and robots, this room is a reboot of fun and function! Tricks and tips to tackle storage & space issues too! Photography by Mandy Landefeld

This entertainment hub is perched alongside a two-lane bowling alley, and features vibrant colors and classic arcade games. It's a perfect spot for waiting bowlers or spectators to watch the action on the lanes while diving into nostalgic gaming fun!

The soaring cathedral ceilings and warm exposed beams were the only features to speak of in this non-descript open landing. Off the hallway near the kids’ rooms, its small size and open layout made it something in between a hallway and a room. While most might consider a TV or office nook for this space, its adjacency to the children’s quarters inspired the designer toward something more imaginative. Inspired by the bright open space, this design achieves a sort of Balinese treehouse aesthetic – and all of it is designed specifically for fun. Playful hanging beds swing freely on sisal rope, creating a beckoning space that draws in children and adults alike. The mattresses were filled especially with non-toxic, non-petroleum natural fiber fill to make them healthy to sleep and lounge on – and encased in removable, washable organic cotton slipcovers. As the children are young, the floor space (finished in non-toxic lacquer) is kept clear and available for sprawling play. Large storage benches topped with walnut seats keep toys and books well organized, and ready for action at any time. Dave Bryce Photography

10 years after the completion of the apartment tenant improvement in the J. Carroll building, the owner approached Isaman Design to work on the design and permitting for a private basketball court located on the second floor adjacent to the residential space. With private stair access from the parking lot, and interior connection to the main living area, it functions completely independently from the business operations in the rest of the building. The signature red storefront and contemporary corrugated metal siding give the addition an eye-catching pop, separating it from the rest of the CMU structure while still maintaining a cohesive aesthetic relationship. The interior is finished out to an extremely high level with fun signage and neon lighting. There is also a comfy courtside lounge with a sliding glass door that enables spectators to be involved in the action from the sidelines. We look forward to working on more commercial infill projects in the future!
