Project Description:
At Forward Design Build Remodel in Ann Arbor, our passion is to translate your needs and wishes into a beautiful, functional design, built to fit your lifestyle. From our initial conversations to our long-term warranty, we follow a tried and true process to consistently deliver the results you deserve. Our professional and experienced team ensures the entire process is smooth, transparent and enjoyable through each phase.
The homeowners came to us wanting an updated basement that they could entertain in. This space includes a recreation area, wet bar, guest suite, and powder room. Our team also gave an updated look to the first floor bathrooms.
Every element of the basement floor plan is designed to pull you down the stairs immediately to the wet bar followed by curved walls that invite you further into the main recreation area.
Features of the main recreation area include a built-in window seat, modern dimensional fireplace accented with shiplap and a large timber hearth, and a walnut drink ledge that integrates the structural columns. The powder room is for guests to use instead of walking through the guest bedroom to the guest bathroom.
Standout design elements include our custom made barn door, with the modern wood plank design being replicated in the circular soffit, dart board niche and pool cue niche. The use of walnut brings richness and a rustic element to each room. A large shower niche, custom floating walnut vanity and trough-style sink in the guest bathroom and tray ceiling with crown molding in the bedroom adds to the overall feeling of comfort and luxury.
The final result gives these homeowners a space to spend time together and with guests, and seamlessly blends with the modern contemporary style of their home!

At Forward Design Build Remodel in Ann Arbor, our passion is to translate your needs and wishes into a beautiful, functional design, built to fit your lifestyle. From our initial conversations to our long-term warranty, we follow a tried and true process to consistently deliver the results you deserve.
This fresh home redesign included updating the kitchen, finished basement, main staircase, and re-configuring the existing layout of the laundry, mudroom and powder room and eliminating walls for a more open feel. Using geometric shapes and colors throughout the house, like the patterned shower accent wall, created a style unique to the family.
The teenagers, having grown the need for a more private area to hang out, were provided a space in the newly finished basement. For entertaining, a wet bar was considered a necessity for the family and is the first thing you see as you go down the stairs. It includes a beverage fridge, wine storage, prep sink and microwave. In addition, a guest bedroom and bathroom were added. Windows were enlarged in the guest bedroom for egress purposes, and when the barn doors are opened they bring daylight into the hangout space. The bathroom blends with the design theme with a bold trapezoid pattern on the floor, and a blue textured accent tile on the back shower wall.
New pre-finished wood floors on the first and second levels and also the updated staircase adds a degree of sophistication, giving the maturing house a new look. We added walnut accents throughout to bring in even more rich wood tones. The final result gives this home a fresh look that is perfect for entertaining and spending time together!
