This client approached SKA because they wanted to convert their unfinished basement into usable living area for their growing family, which expanded by one during the construction. The program for their updated basement includes, a playroom/family room with a pull down wall bed for guests as needed, laundry, storage, bathroom, and mechanical room. Working within the existing constraints of the basement, such as ceiling height, existing structural posts and HVAC vents, SKA developed with the clients a transitional space that optimized storage and openness while maximizing use. The end result is a cozy additional level that the family can now occupy and enjoy.
