SPECIFICATIONS

Project Description

In this project, we transformed an unused basement room into a luxurious suite. The biggest challenge was integrating modern technology into the rustic reclaimed wood look. Through custom carpentry, we were able to create storage space while creating a warm, alpine ambiance at the same time. The lighting concept was specifically developed to emphasize the natural grain of the wood and compensate for the lack of window area.
