“From the beginning, the goal was to create a basement that felt like a destination,” says KSI Designer . And for this returning client, that meant something more than a renovation; it meant rethinking what a lower level could actually be.
As a young, active family with a love of golf and a natural instinct to entertain, they knew what they needed was a place to practice year-round that doubled as a space to host. Somewhere that felt as considered and personal as every other room in their home. And after working with Sandra on their bathroom renovation, they knew just who to call.
The result is an atmosphere that feels layered and alive all at once. The kitchen centers the space, a large island anchoring the room and setting the tone for everything around it. The speakeasy bar earns its moment: dramatic arches, moody finishes, and a warmth that makes you stop and take it in before you even think about sitting down. And as the golf simulator comes into view, the energy shifts entirely. Suddenly, the basement is the place everyone wants to be.
From a casual weeknight with the family to a full house of guests, every decision in this space points back to the same idea: a space worth coming down to.
