Royal Birkdale Drive

The large basement in this Calgary home was destined to be a central hub for the family — if only it was a place people wanted to hang out in. With that in mind, we aimed for a feeling that was more “great room” than basement.

We focused on creating a rustic feeling. We added real reclaimed barn wood accents throughout the basement level, along with a solid wood mantle above the fireplace, nestled in a floor-to ceiling stacked stone wall. Continuing our “upscale barn” agenda, on the floor, we installed luxury vinyl planking, which is hard-wearing and has a lifetime warranty.

We matched the paint colour on the walls to the main level, while adding a feature wall of stone. We also matched the doors and trim to the main level. Our TV package included a raised plug, internet and cable in the main room and bedroom, along with in-wall HDMI conduit and 5.1 Surround Sound, built right into the ceiling. No wires to be seen. We also added a lot of lighting to the basement – 16 potlights to be exact.

A custom drybar with its own accent lighting tops it all off. Now our clients are ready for winter movie nights — which can be any night of the year in Calgary.
