The Dilemma
Aside from being completely white and almost empty, this basement has a few other challenges for the team. Low ceilings and brick posts are permanent features that will need to be worked around in devising a new design for the space. The homeowners want to be able to use the space to hang out with friends and also as a play space for their young son.
