This vibrant basement remodel perfectly blends function with flair, transforming the lower level into a multifunctional retreat that’s as stylish as it is smart. The design embraces the home's original architecture with exposed painted ceiling joists and polished concrete floors, then elevates the space with curated finishes and custom built-ins. A colorful banquette dining nook—featuring a whimsical, nature-inspired upholstery and warm leather seats—is tucked beside a fully stocked wet bar with navy cabinetry, floating walnut shelves, and an iridescent tile backsplash that brings depth and visual interest. The bar area includes a beverage fridge, ice maker, and plenty of storage for entertaining essentials.

Separating this long space into different areas based on use, helps to give each area it's own unique importance. custom rugs were used to help define some of the spaces.

This basement remodel included a more expansive kitchen area, complete with a large island ideal for entertaining. An additional beverage, snack, and buffet area was thoughtfully positioned near the back door for convenient access to the pool.

In this project, Rochman Design Build converted an unfinished basement of a new Ann Arbor home into a stunning home pub and entertaining area, with commercial grade space for the owners' craft brewing passion. The feel is that of a speakeasy as a dark and hidden gem found in prohibition time. The materials include charcoal stained concrete floor, an arched wall veneered with red brick, and an exposed ceiling structure painted black. Bright copper is used as the sparkling gem with a pressed-tin-type ceiling over the bar area, which seats 10, copper bar top and concrete counters. Old style light fixtures with bare Edison bulbs, well placed LED accent lights under the bar top, thick shelves, steel supports and copper rivet connections accent the feel of the 6 active taps old-style pub. Meanwhile, the brewing room is splendidly modern with large scale brewing equipment, commercial ventilation hood, wash down facilities and specialty equipment. A large window allows a full view into the brewing room from the pub sitting area. In addition, the space is large enough to feel cozy enough for 4 around a high-top table or entertain a large gathering of 50. The basement remodel also includes a wine cellar, a guest bathroom and a room that can be used either as guest room or game room, and a storage area.
