CHAMELEON
THIS DRAMATIC SMALL BASEMENT FITS A SURPRISINGLY LONG
WISH LIST OF ACTIVITIES INTO ONE SMALL SPACE!
Since most homes in Canada are built with
a basement, it is essential we capitalize by
utilizing that space to the fullest, especially
if the rest of your home doesn’t have the
space to meet your lifestyle requirements.
Flexible floor plans are the key with rooms
and spaces that can adapt to changing
needs and circumstances.
It all starts with making a comprehensive
wish-list of all the things you would like to
do in that space. There are no limits to this
dream stage – so just put it all out there.
Then work backwards. In this instance, we
needed a recreation room, a kitchen, a
dining room, an office, a photo studio and
a guest bedroom all within about 325
square feet. That may seem impossible,
but that’s where careful planning and
creativity came into play.
