Spa-Inspired Living

This basement remodel was designed with both function and relaxation in mind. The homeowners envisioned a multipurpose retreat featuring a custom-built bathroom with steam shower, a dedicated workout space, and a small, tailored wine cellar. 

The bathroom was the standout element of the project, blending high-performance features with refined finishes. The luxurious steam shower was custom-built with large-format tile and a built-in quartzite bench to create a sleek, spa-inspired look. The shower features high-end components including a Thermasol steam generator, digital shower controls and dual shower heads. The system offers steam therapy, aromatherapy and chromatherapy functions to help the homeowners unwind.

Additional bathroom elements include a modern-style floating vanity with a mirrored medicine cabinet, Kohler fixtures in a matte black finish, elongated toilet with heated bidet seat, and heated tile floors with a programmable thermostat. The space incorporates luxury and everyday function with a clean, modern aesthetic.

The adjacent home gym features an exposed ceiling which was painted to create a raw, modern feel. Space near the stairwell was thoughtfully utilized by installing full height cabinets for excess pantry storage. A custom iron stair railing complements the room nicely.

Elsewhere in the basement, a former coal room was transformed into a climate-controlled wine cellar, featuring a quartzite counter space and custom steel vault door, complete with fingerprint lock. The small footprint was reimagined into a statement area that balances utility and design.

Throughout the finished basement, new LVT flooring and lighting help maintain a clean, cohesive feel. Some original elements of the home, like the laundry chute, were preserved and thoughtfully integrated into the new layout, adding character and honoring the home’s history.
