MANCAVE

Sophisticated while playful, this 'mancave' was created from nothing but a bare utility area under this Northbridge house.  The exposed brick walls were retained, while the ceiling, flooring, and bar were custom built to create a warm, cosy atmosphere, reminiscent of a hunting lodge.  Vintage chairs, a custom built bar, soft lighting and a rug (made from the tags of jeans) add layers of interest and comfort, enticing guests to linger.  The dartboard, guitars and vintage pinball machine ramp up the fun factor, enhanced by the wall of treasures - some cheeky, some sentimental.
