With two kids on the cusp of their teenage years, this expanding family needed to update their home to better suit their evolving needs. They had a spacious bonus room upstairs, an attic—located above the garage. To some, it may seem like a wasted space. To Ten Key Remodels, it was a wellspring of untapped potential. We envisioned transforming this attic into a private, cozy media room perfect for family movie nights and relaxation. After chatting with the clients and exploring their ideas, we crafted a design and plan that brought this exciting new space to life.

Bathroom Section
To make the new space even more functional and self-sufficient, we added a small bathroom to the design. Featuring a full shower and toilet, this addition ensures that the area is not only modern and stylish but also perfectly equipped for the kids to enjoy hours of leisure. Now, the space is a well-rounded retreat that seamlessly combines comfort and convenience.

The Before Stage
This attic was the perfect blank canvas for our design wings to be spread. With no previous purpose, this space could easily be transformed into just about everything. That being said, the space also required a lot of forethought, including electrical and plumbing installations.
