Key Measurements: Recreation Rooms Rule

Clever Ceiling Composition Basement ceilings are one of the trickiest design challenges, as most homeowners want to hide unsightly ductwork, pipes and wires while working within tight height restrictions. This Toronto basement by domilya GROUP handles the wonky basement-ceiling challenge well. While soffits cover up the unsightly ductwork, the main seating area is beneath the portion where they were able to push the ceiling up as high as possible. And the wood beams draw the eye to this higher area. Style note: In order to create egress windows, it is sometimes necessary to dig wells outside of the windows. To gain a larger window, make them as deep as possible, complete with steps that make them viable emergency exits.
