Basement Transformation · Hilltop, Denver

The Hilltop House

An unfinished basement, reimagined into the family's favorite floor — a shelf-lined family room, a home gym, and a playroom.
The Brief

An unfinished basement, turned into the family's favorite floor.

The lower level was raw and forgotten — concrete walls, exposed ducts, and plywood storage shelves. The family wanted real living space: somewhere to gather, somewhere to move, and somewhere for the kids to play.

We finished it end to end — framing, mechanicals, and all — then designed a warm family room wrapped in lit walnut built-ins, a hotel-quality home gym, and a soft, joyful playroom. The whole floor finally works as hard as the rest of the house.

Room 01

The Family Room

Concrete and plywood storage shelves became the heart of the lower level — a warm family room wrapped in lit walnut built-ins and anchored by a stone fireplace.

Room 02

The Home Gym

A raw mechanical corner became a calm, hotel-quality gym — arched mirrors, soft cove lighting, and built-in storage for everything that used to live in a pile.

Room 03

The Playroom

A dim storage zone became a bright, soft playroom — climbing triangles, a little table, and plenty of room to imagine.
