Medina Modern Rustic Lower Level

Basements

About This Project

The Homeowner's Challenge

The homeowners wanted to transform their unfinished basement into a warm, modern rustic retreat where family and friends could gather comfortably. Their vision centered around a spacious entertainment area with a custom wet bar, open family room, and improved storage, while incorporating natural materials and durable finishes that complemented the rest of their home. 

Hurst's Approach

Hurst Design Build Remodel designed the lower level around an expansive entertainment space anchored by a custom wet bar and open gathering area. The staircase was opened with decorative railing to improve the connection between floors, while custom cabinetry, stone surfaces, and wood accents established a modern rustic aesthetic. Durable flooring and carefully selected finishes ensure the space is equally suited for everyday family use and entertaining guests. 

Key Design Features

  • Custom Omega cabinetry with Top Knobs hardware 
  • Black Pearl Leather granite countertops 
  • Custom wet bar with seating, Whirlpool dishwasher, and open display shelving

Outcome
