Basement Remodel on Girard

Minneapolis

A careful and revolutionary basement makeover was made possible by the much-needed new foundation that this gorgeous 1928 Tudor Revival home received a few years ago. The homeowners collaborated with HBRE to make sure the newly planned lower level would blend in perfectly with the original home’s historic beauty and character while also meeting contemporary needs.

In order to accomplish this, HBRE used distinctive design elements that pay homage to the Tudor origins of the house, drawing inspiration from the main level’s architectural characteristics. Custom cabinetry and rich stained oak trim complement the existing design, and arched doorways evoke the elegance of the original building. To further emphasize the classic design that characterizes this house, a Gothic arch niche was created as a showcase feature.

A sizable, unfinished area has been transformed into a multipurpose, useful hideaway that suits the family’s needs. A comfortable family theater area, perfect for movie evenings or unwinding, is part of the updated design. A classy bar area with a designated tasting area and a striking liquor display that doubles as a beautiful and practical focus point is located next to the theater.

A separate, tastefully furnished guest room is available in the basement for visitors, making their stay warm and pleasant. Convenience is guaranteed without compromising visual appeal with the addition of a chic tiled 3/4 bathroom.

The entire basement has been planned to be a multipurpose area that is ideal for entertaining on special occasions, inviting friends and family, and unwinding after a hard day. The historic elegance of the house and the contemporary utility that today’s residents seek have been harmoniously balanced by meticulous attention to detail.

This project demonstrates how well-considered design and skilled construction can revitalize old homes and keep them alive and useful for many generations to come.
