Part 1 of two for this remodel, with a basement to prove that magic can happen below ground. While the upstairs stayed fully occupied, Firm 5 and the client focused on transforming this once-dark, underused space into something alive, functional, and full of personality. Egress windows flood the rooms with natural light, while ensuring safety and peace of mind. Every corner of the basement was reimagined with smart storage options, flexible living areas, and finishes that balance durability with warmth.The result is a basement that doesn’t feel like an afterthought, but a fully intentional home. With part two upstairs soon to follow, this renovation is shaping into a full-scale transformation, blending thoughtful design, livability, and a touch of surprise in every corner.
