Project Overview

This Richmond Hill basement renovation was designed to maximize comfort, style, and functionality. The finished space now blends modern design with durable finishes, creating a multi-purpose lower level for entertaining, daily living, and guest accommodations.

Design Highlights

  • Open Concept Living Area: The basement features a spacious family
    room with warm wood flooring, a sectional sofa, and seamless
    integration to the kitchen and dining area. A wall-mounted TV creates
    a dedicated media zone.
  • Modern Kitchenette: Custom flat-panel wood cabinetry pairs with
    sleek concrete countertops and an oversized island. A built-in sink,
    upgraded faucet, and hidden appliances provide convenience while
    maintaining clean lines. Clear acrylic dining chairs add modern
    transparency and lightness.
  • Custom Concrete Details: The countertops, island, and integrated
    sinks are formed from poured concrete, adding durability and a
    contemporary industrial touch.
  • Staircase Upgrade: A newly finished staircase with wood treads and
    curved railing leads elegantly into the lower level.
  • Bathroom Spaces:
    • Powder Room: Dark walls and a floating concrete vanity with
      black fixtures create a bold, moody retreat.
    • Full Bathroom: Features a black tub, walk-in shower with
      wood-look tile walls, and modern vanity with illuminated mirror
      — balancing dramatic finishes with modern spa-like comfort.
  • Bedroom: A private guest room features a clean, minimalist design
    with neutral tones, a modern pendant light, and integrated wood
    paneling for warmth.
