In the basement of a countryside home, once used as a family leisure room with a snooker table and a private cinema, a new story unfolds. The 65-square-meter space has been transformed into a modern, hotel-like unit for the daughter of the family and her young husband. Despite its modest size, the result is a spacious, elegant, and smartly designed home.
The entrance reveals an open space that combines the living room, a dedicated work corner, and a large, fully equipped kitchen. A striking wooden carpentry wall defines the boundary between the public and private areas. Within it, part of the kitchen is concealed, alongside a hidden door leading to the bedroom. This carpentry wall continues as cladding in the living room, creating visual harmony and sophistication.
Through the concealed door, an intimate yet airy bedroom is revealed, featuring a double bed and a wardrobe with sleek black glass doors. The reflective finish not only adds a luxurious touch but also creates a sense of openness, visually enlarging the space. A flush white sliding door leads to the bathroom, seamlessly blending into the wall.
The bathroom is designed as a relaxing retreat, with a bathtub fitted with a ceiling-mounted rain shower and an additional hand shower. A custom wooden vanity with grooved fronts is topped with a wide marble countertop and an integrated sink, all in a tone matching the wall. Rectangular tiles are staggered in a brick-like layout, and layered lighting – recessed, concealed, and decorative – highlights textures and creates a dramatic ambiance. Decorative lighting fixtures, resembling marble with natural veins, accent the bedside and the kitchen island.
The unit encapsulates the perfect balance of function and elegance: a once-forgotten basement reimagined as a modern, stylish, and luxurious living space that feels far larger than its modest footprint.
