Residential Remodel: A Transformative Basement Renovation in Atlanta, GA
The Hitt family’s beautifully remodeled basement in Atlanta, GA, demonstrates the transformative power of a well-executed design-build project. This extensive renovation project, carried out by Victoria Renovations, epitomizes the perfect blend of functionality and luxury, offering a tailored living space designed for entertainment, relaxation, and health.
The Scope of the Project
The Hitt family’s 2,500-square-foot basement underwent a complete overhaul, transitioning from an underutilized area into a multi-functional living space. The project included the addition of a fully equipped gym, sauna, home bar, family lounge, a guest bedroom, and a modern bathroom.
Key Spaces and Features
Gym and Wellness Retreat
The gym features rubber matted flooring, ideal for high-traffic areas. The walls were reinforced with sound insulation, and the space was wired for ceiling-mounted Sonos speakers for an immersive workout experience. Adjacent to the gym, the steam sauna was installed, offering a two-person capacity with cedar wood interiors and soft, dimmable lighting for a serene atmosphere.
Entertainment Hub: Bar and Lounge
The centerpiece of the basement is the stunning custom bar. It boasts Calacatta Antique quartz countertops with a 3″ x 10″ blue herringbone porcelain backsplash that adds texture and depth. Glass shelves backed with mirrors enhance the sense of space, while satin brass bar foot railings and pendant lighting bring a sophisticated touch. Integrated under-counter appliances, including a 24-inch beverage and wine cooler, ensure functionality.
In the lounge, the family enjoys cozy evenings with a built-in entertainment center featuring custom cabinets painted BM Hale Navy and dark walnut-stained beams that frame the ceiling. Recessed lighting and sleek sconce lights complete the mood-enhancing illumination.
Guest Suite and Bathroom
The guest bedroom is a haven of comfort, showcasing a bubble Sputnik chandelier and a framed tray ceiling that adds architectural interest. A calming neutral palette ties in with the SW Iron Ore doors, which were chosen for consistency across the spaces.
The adjoining bathroom combines elegance and practicality. Bedrosian Casablanca matte ceramic tiles create a striking feature wall in the shower, while a 37” Monterey natural brown vanity with a quartz countertop exudes warmth. The space was finished with oil-rubbed bronze fixtures.
Structural Enhancements
The project began with significant structural modifications, including the installation of LVL beams to open up the bar and lounge areas. To achieve the desired open-plan layout, walls were removed, and new supports were carefully integrated into the design.
Insulation and HVAC
Attention to detail extended to the hidden elements of the build. Fire-rated insulation was installed throughout, ensuring safety and energy efficiency. HVAC upgrades provided optimal temperature control for the sauna and gym.
Dust-Free Remodeling
During the remodel, advanced dust containment systems and barriers were employed, keeping the main living areas clean and livable. Protective coverings were laid on staircases and pathways, minimizing disruption to the Hitt family.
