Not all extensions are visible! Here a new basement has been constructed under the existing house creating an additional 130 square metres (1,400 square feet) of space. The key to creating pleasant underground rooms is the clever use of available natural light, good ceiling heights, and a simple plan layout that avoids narrow corridors. In this project a large oak lined hallway allows access to all the new rooms, which include a multi-function family room, a gym, a hobby room/workshop, a shower room and a temperature-controlled wine store.

Holiday House 2009 room, themed "Father's Day", Eric Cohler hand painted the wooden floor in a graphic black - and - white design inspired by David Hicks. Cubic lanterns of Cohler's design, embossed faux-crocodile ceiling covering, and a pair of Regency armchairs upholstered in black patent leather define the space.
