Trendy staircase photo in Vancouver

In contrast to the white oak open stair that connects the second and third floors, the ground-to-second-floor stair is solid, concealing the basement. At the tp of the stair the handrail conceals lighting for the walnut end wall.

What began as an almost inaccessible crawl space became 1,000 square feet of beautifully finished, highly functional living and entertaining space in this extensive whole-home transformation by Cutuli Homes. Before construction, the area beneath the home was so confined that a person could barely crawl through portions of it. Cutuli Homes saw an opportunity to reclaim this otherwise unusable space and dramatically expand the way the homeowners could live, entertain, and enjoy their property. The transformation required substantial structural work. Cutuli Homes shored and supported the existing house, excavated beneath it to create the necessary ceiling height, and constructed a new foundation for the expanded lower level. An interior staircase was added to connect the new space directly with the home's main floor, making the addition feel like an integral part of the original house rather than a separate basement. The completed lower level includes a new kitchen, bathroom and billiards/game room, creating a comfortable destination for family gatherings and entertaining. The renovation extended outdoors as well. Cutuli Homes created an outdoor BBQ and entertaining area, covered outdoor living space, new deck and new patio, transforming what had been an underutilized backyard and the unfinished area beneath the existing deck into a cohesive indoor-outdoor retreat. The result is a remarkable example of how thoughtful design, complex structural construction and creative use of existing space can completely change a home's functionality. By converting an exceptionally tight crawl space into approximately 1,000 square feet of finished living area, Cutuli Homes gave the homeowners an entirely new level of their house while significantly improving the connection between the home and backyard. This project showcases the type of challenging remodel where experience matters—from structural shoring, excavation and foundation construction to finish carpentry, interior remodeling and outdoor living construction. The finished home bears little resemblance to the once-unusable space beneath it. Built and remodeled by Cutuli Homes, a Seattle-area custom home builder and remodeling contractor with more than 30 years of experience creating distinctive homes throughout the Puget Sound region
