NETHERFIELD

This lower level was designed to feel like a true extension of the home, not a collection of rooms tucked downstairs. We worked within a restrained palette of pale oak, black millwork and warm white, using repetition of materials to connect spaces with very different purposes.

A golf simulator, home gym and sauna make the lower level highly functional, while the wine room provides a strong architectural focal point. Fluted oak, reeded glass, blackened details and carefully integrated lighting keep the more utilitarian elements from feeling overly technical.

A wine cellar with shelves holding wine bottles, a wine opener, and wine glasses, with wooden wine crates on the floor.
A wine cellar with a glass door, showing wine bottles stored on wooden racks, and boxes of wine on the floor. A black staircase with a railing is visible to the right.
A wine rack with multiple bottles of wine displayed behind an arched glass door, set against white walls with black trim and a light wood floor.
Indoor golf simulator room with a green artificial turf, a golf bag with clubs, a pair of white shoes and a screen displaying a golf course.
Modern interior with a black and glass partition, a wooden accent wall, and a green potted plant.
A modern sauna room with wooden slats, red lighting, a lounge chair, towels, and exercise equipment in the foreground.
A modern bathroom with a potted monstera plant on top of the toilet tank, a black-framed glass shower enclosure with white tiles, a wall-mounted light fixture with a marble backing and a reeded cabinet with a white sink.

Even the smallest spaces were considered. In the powder room, a rounded reeded-oak vanity, vessel sink, marble sconce and steel-framed shower bring a little softness to the otherwise graphic palette.

The result is a lower level built around the way this family actually lives: a place to exercise, unwind, entertain and enjoy being at home.
