Refined Entertainment. A lovely couple had a grand idea to turn their basement into a multifunctional luxurious entertainment space. It started as an empty shell with exposed framing and insulation, and now has a beautiful aesthetic and complete functionality. The kitchen, lounge, pool room, and theater are individual rich and intimate settings to entertain and have a good time. A soft grey palette and warm wood tones give grants an inviting and warm environment.

Tucked away from the main living areas, this secondary lounge offers a more intimate setting for relaxation and entertainment. Custom built-ins, a streamlined media wall and layered furnishings create a comfortable yet sophisticated atmosphere, while the warm neutral palette and natural materials ensure continuity with the home's overall design language.

Take a step down to the new exposed aggregate concrete patio and sit by the fire pit and do a little star-gazing. We hid a continuous strip of LED lighting in the curved concrete step. We also built two additional tigerwood privacy screens to enhance the intimate setting.

The owners engaged us to conduct a full house renovation to bring this historic stone mansion back to its former glory. One of the highest priorities was updating the main floor’s more public spaces which serve as the diplomat's primary representation areas where special events are hosted. Worn wall-to-wall carpet was removed revealing original oak hardwood floors that were sanded and refinished with an Early American stain. Great attention to detail was given to the selection, customization and installation of new drapes, carpets and runners all of which had to complement the home’s existing antique furniture. The striking red runner gives new life to the grand hall and winding staircase and makes quite an impression upon entering the property. New ceilings, medallions, chandeliers and a fresh coat of paint elevate the spaces to their fullest potential. A customized bar was added to an adjoining sunroom that serves as spillover space for formal events and a more intimate setting for casual gatherings.
