2000 Best Finished Basement

The owners of this historic 1920’s home had extensive ties to the entertainment industry, and wanted a state-of-the-art home theatre. The only available space was the basement storage/laundry area. The first challenge was to create the illusion of height by actually lowering the ceiling in three spaces. The lowered areas (6 inches deep) allowed the piping and ducts to traverse the space while providing recesses to achieve a soft but uniform overall light level. The overall result is a warm and cozy room the the audio-visual experience, devoid of the "basement feel".
