Night Garden Basement Reno
This home sits in a quiet, community-forward Seattle neighborhood—forested landscaping, a nearby church, and a community garden that makes the area feel like a pocket of calm tucked inside the city. Our work began with a simple question: How do we make a basement feel like a destination—not an afterthought?
Rather than fight the reality of lower ceilings and cooler light, we leaned in. Basements are naturally more cave-like, so we designed a space that feels intentionally cocooned: darker, calmer, and softly luminous.
