The home owners wanted a place to entertain, play and workout in their 3000 square foot basement. They added a completely soundproofed media room, a large restaurant-like wet bar, glass enclosed workout area, kids play/game space, great room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, storage room and an office. The overall modern esthetic and colour scheme is bright and fresh with rich charcoal accent woodwork and cabinets. 9’ ceilings and custom made 7’ doors throughout add to the overall luxurious yet comfortable feel of the basement. The area below the stairs is a child’s dream hideaway with a small crawl-thru entry access, toy drawers and lighted reading cove.

The Timnath Ranch housing community created an outdoor play area with an SRP playground. This play space includes a playground, picnic shelter, and outdoor furniture. Residents can bring their children to the playground without going far from home.

Adjacent to the kitchen, we designed a homework station to seat two for this family with two school-aged children.
