Sage Hill Family Home

Client Background
The Thompson family, a young and busy household, wanted to transform their underutilized basement into a space that serves both leisure and functionality. Their goal was to create a warm, inviting environment where family, friends, and children could gather comfortably.

Objective
Renovate the basement to maximize living space, increase functionality, and enhance comfort. The design should accommodate entertainment, relaxation, and storage while feeling seamlessly connected to the rest of the home.

Scope

  • Include a family lounge, play area for children, home office nook, and guest bedroom.

  • Add a bathroom and wet bar/kitchen for convenience and entertaining.

  • Utilize lighting, flooring, and finishes to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Key Details

  • Size of the Space: 1,500 sq. ft. of renovated living area.

  • Layout: Open-concept lounge and play area with private zones for office and guest suite.

  • Ceiling Height: Standard basement height with creative ceiling treatments to maximize space perception.

  • Unique Features: Custom storage solutions, built-in shelving, and integrated lighting that enhances both aesthetics and functionality.

Results and Acknowledgments

Outcome

  • Functional Transformation: The basement now serves as a multi-use living space, combining family lounge, play area, guest suite, and home office seamlessly.

  • Enhanced Lifestyle: The Thompson family enjoys increased comfort, organized storage, and a space perfect for both daily living and entertaining friends and family.

  • Home Value Boost: The renovation added significant usable square footage and modern appeal, enhancing the property’s overall market value.


The Nordhaven team was extremely helpful every step of the way! We were able to make a basement that didn't even seem possible until our free consultation!
