Varsity Calgary – Basement Renovation

For this basement renovation, our clients envisioned a space where they could both unwind and entertain—an extension of their home that felt elevated, not like a typical basement. To bring that vision to life, we completely gutted the existing layout and reconfigured the space to maximize flow, functionality, and comfort. They were drawn to contemporary design and wanted a clean, elegant aesthetic that would feel cohesive with the rest of the home. One of their top priorities was ensuring the basement felt bright and open, so we introduced a new window and sliding glass doors to flood the space with natural light—dramatically changing the atmosphere and making the space feel far more inviting.

The fireplace and bar were designed to be standout features. Our goal was to create something sleek, contemporary, and visually compelling. We incorporated clean, sharp lines and balanced them with organic materials that add texture and warmth. The contrast between the crisp geometry and the tactile finishes gives the space depth and dimension while maintaining a minimalist elegance. This newly transformed basement is now a sophisticated retreat—perfect for hosting friends, relaxing with family, or simply enjoying a quiet evening by the fire. It’s a space that offers both style and comfort, designed to feel like anything but a basement.
