The basement was well-used but the ceiling height was too low.
This busy working couple wanted more space for home offices and a playroom for their new child. CSES was able to provide a design to increase the basement ceiling height by lowering the level of the floor slab.
The upper floors of the home were not disturbed in this process.
We provided an earthquake safety upgrade for the basement walls, which made the entire home safer in a seismic event.
Some posts and existing structure were relocated.
Basement residence proposed new slab section.
