​

Adina Hall Design was hired by a family to bring their lower level staircase and bathroom to up code as well as maximize the functionality of the space by incorporating a playroom with lots of storage, lounge with bar area and guest bedroom. We designed custom millwork for toy and games storage, a media center and a bespoke bar. The family's aesthetic is contemporary minimalist therefore we used a black and white palette to provide neutral backdrop for the multitude of colorful toys. Given the deep window niches and modern aesthetic, we took inspiration from Corbusier's Ronchamp Chape, and added 3 different colors to the window niches that create a play of colorful beams of light as they filter into the space.

​

The lower level is now the family's favorite hang-out spot and a welcoming haven as they prepare for the implementation of the first floor design.
