Basement remodel

A wet bar and glass-front wine room

A wet bar, glass-front wine room, and relaxed lounge made for gathering.

Globe pendants and a generous island give the bar a clear gathering point.

The gathering level

A social center with a quieter side

There's more than one way to spend an evening here. The island welcomes a group, the curved banquette makes room for a smaller conversation, and the leather seating gives the lounge a slower pace. Dark beams and cabinetry hold those spaces together against the bright walls and counters.

01Lounge + collection

A wine room that belongs in the room

The bottle display stays visible through glass, adding warmth to the lounge without covering every wall in shelving. It's a useful distinction: the seating feels calm, while the collection gets a space of its own.

The lounge sits just beyond the bar, with the wine display visible from the seating.
The glass-front wine room turns bottle storage into part of the view.

02Material notes

Contrast, softened by familiar shapes

Wood racks and a richly patterned counter give the wine room its own character.

Wood against stone

The wine racks introduce a fine-grained rhythm, while the sweeping veins in the counter add a more expressive surface.

A curved banquette adds a quieter place for a conversation or a game.

A place to linger

The round table and curved bench soften the straight lines of the island and cabinetry. They offer an alternative to a counter stool.

03Everyday uses

The rooms that make the lower level complete

A bathroom, organized hallway, and dedicated fitness space keep the basement useful well beyond a night of hosting. The checkerboard floor links the smaller spaces with a memorable graphic detail.

The checkerboard floor gives the small bath a distinct identity.
Open cubbies make useful storage part of the hallway.
A mirrored fitness room brings another use to the lower level.
