SPACE FOR ENTERTAINING Entertaining is easy with everything you need at your fingertips. Whether it’s a game day party or a quiet movie night for two, this space has everything you need. The heavy wood table works as a dining space or game table while the built in cabinetry can double as a server, wet bar and kitchenette with a hidden fridge/ freezer and dishwasher.

During the work day, this space is the perfect home office. The table becomes a desk with setting for business meetings while cleverly placed baskets offer storage for office supplies. Filing cabinets have been built seamlessly into the cabinetry as well.
