Finished Basement & Home Office Expansion

This full basement renovation in Westwood transformed an underutilized lower level into a bright, functional, and inviting space for modern family living. Our repeat clients wanted a multi-purpose basement that could accommodate a home office, guest bedroom, full bathroom, family room, play area, and ample storage. By carefully reconfiguring the layout, we added valuable square footage, including a separate entrance for the office, ensuring privacy and convenience. A custom dry bar enhances the family room, creating a space that’s perfect for entertaining or casual gatherings.

The new layout balances functionality and flow, with each space thoughtfully designed to meet the family’s everyday needs. The home office provides a quiet retreat, the guest bedroom and full bathroom offer comfort for visitors, and the family room and play area create a welcoming environment for both kids and adults. Clever storage solutions were integrated throughout to maximize organization and maintain a clean, open feel, making the entire lower level a versatile and highly livable extension of the home.

Sometimes the biggest transformation comes from a thoughtful, strategic addition. By extending this walk-out basement to include a dedicated home office, we were able to add valuable square footage while dramatically improving how the homeowners use their space day to day. What was once underutilized now supports focused work, better separation between home and office, and a more functional lower level overall.

For clients who work from home, even a modest addition can have an outsized impact—creating privacy, flexibility, and long-term value without overwhelming the home.
