After building their home four years earlier, this Arlington Heights couple always intended to eventually finish their basement. Armed with inspiration from Pinterest and Houzz, these homeowners approached OHi, looking for a one-of-a-kind, contemporary haven perfect for both entertaining friends and hanging out as a family. The OHi team helped design and build the perfect space complete with white industrial brick, a wet bar, and an impressive workout room.
This couple loved nothing more than entertaining their closest friends and family, taste-testing micro-brewed beers and nitro wine while watching the game. This is why when they dreamed about their basement remodel, they dreamed big. This was not a design made for compromises. They had visions of a spacious wet-bar, complete with seating and storage, the perfect place for an impressive tv, as well as plenty of room to gather. For added kicks, they included a dartboard and shuffleboard to ensure there was always something fun to enjoy.
Prior to the remodel, the couple used the unfinished basement to house their workout equipment; it became paramount to the design that a space be dedicated to a state-of-the-art workout room. After relocating the water-heater for more space, the room began to take shape with perhaps the most exciting feature of the basement: a rock-climbing wall.
Before: A wall separated the stairs from the right-hand alcove. An egress window existed, but not much else apart from cement floors and insulated walls.
After: A sleek, contemporary bar is constructed including a sink, storage, and a mini-fridge. The peninsula bar was hand-crafted using poplar wood, and accented with metal detailing. The wall separating the stairs is removed and replaced with a railing, helping the space feel more open and inviting.
Before: An egress window exists to ensure a safe space. The floors were the cement foundation, the ceiling consisted of exposed wood beams, and the walls were exposed insulation.
After: Knew flooring is installed throughout, creating a seamless feel. The ceiling is insulated and covered with black metal. The walls are covered by drywall and painted a light gray. Floating cabinets are installed beneath the tv. Arm sconce wall lights, along with can lights are added. For fun, shuffleboard and a dartboard are included.
Before: Another alcove including the water heater existed and functioned as a makeshift workout room. The ceiling is exposed wood beams, the flooring is cement, and the insulation is showing.
After: The support beams are encased by decorative wood. The water heater is moved and placed inside a closet. The walls are covered in drywall and the ceiling is covered in black metal. Rubber floors are installed on top of the cement.
