Southlands Basement - full scale Renovation
This Southlands basement renovation is a full-scale transformation by Lindsay Eby Interiors, a Vancouver interior designer specializing in luxury residential interiors, focused on reimagining an underutilized lower level into a functional and contemporary living space.
Starting from scratch allowed for a more modern design approach, as the original floor lacked both a dedicated bathroom and a proper guest bedroom, with the space previously open to the rec room.
With a clear priority list in place, the layout was completely reworked to introduce a private guest bedroom, a spacious rec room, and a spa-like bathroom featuring a walk-in shower. In the bathroom, an angled fireplace chimney was concealed by curving the shower wall in front of it—transforming a constraint into a defining feature with a striking tile wall and integrated infinity bench.
What began as a challenge became one of the most distinctive elements of the design. The result is a lower level that is not only highly functional, but now fully integrated into the home—well used, well loved, and designed for modern living.

“It is hard to express how lucky we feel to have been working with Lindsay on the renovation of our home. As a multi-generational household, Lindsay was able to take each family member's aesthetics into account and not only design, but create an absolutely beautiful and functional home. We were "wowed" by her ideas, talents, and designs and equally impressed by her ability to work incredibly well with all the trades involved. She took our dark, cold house and turned it into a home that we all love and enjoy.”
