Location

Bucktown

This Bucktown Victorian had 1,200 square feet of raw basement with no finishing at all. We waterproofed the foundation, cut in an egress window for the guest bedroom, built a full wet bar with custom walnut shelving, and framed out a dedicated home theater with acoustic paneling and tiered seating. The finished space gave the home a full additional living level.

Scope of Work

  • Foundation waterproofing and drainage system
  • Egress window installation for bedroom code compliance
  • Custom wet bar with walnut shelving and beverage fridge
  • Home theater with acoustic treatment and tiered platform
  • Full guest bedroom and bathroom build-out
  • LVP flooring throughout with radiant heat zones
