Crawlspace to Play Room Renovation for an Active Child
With a young child needing more room to play, the owners of this suburban Clackamas home decided it was time to transform part of their house into a kid-friendly playroom. They wanted a space filled with fun physical toys for their son, but the limitations of the property posed significant challenges to adding on to their living space. (Read more…)
A Clackamas family needed more play space for their young son but couldn’t expand their home outward due to lot constraints. The solution? Transform their crawl space into a vibrant basement playroom.
The conversion required significant engineering work. We installed a large structural beam to eliminate support posts, creating an open floor plan ideal for play. The renovation also included a full bathroom, though its below-grade location required an ejector pump to manage wastewater.
The design incorporates several distinctive features: a hidden bookcase door leading to additional storage space, a space-saving spiral staircase, and a large egress window that allows for furniture movement and floods the space with natural light.
The new basement has become a family hub, particularly during summer heat waves. The only challenge now? Convincing their son to play anywhere else.
