The Story
The Vision Behind This Project
MOSS Building & Design completed a comprehensive basement renovation in Arlington, VA, transforming an unfinished lower level into a functional living space. The project included the creation of a new bedroom with proper egress, a full bathroom with custom tiled shower, and a laundry room with cabinetry and countertops. Structural work included foundation underpinning to accommodate the new bedroom, installation of a code-compliant egress window system with drainage integration, and significant plumbing infrastructure modifications. The space was finished with new flooring throughout, sound-dampening insulation in ceilings, upgraded electrical panel and service, and custom interior features including a decorative half-wall in the main living area.

Overview
Materials & Finishes
Basement
Designed to feel as livable as the floors above, the basement is grounded in Beaufloor Blacktex laminate vinyl in 616D Limeoak — a water-resistant sheet flooring well-suited for below-grade living. Professional floor leveling was completed prior to installation, ensuring a seamless, even foundation throughout the space.
Bathroom
The bathroom balances refined materials with everyday practicality. A 30" Avanity Modero vanity in Chilled Gray anchors the space, its warm wood tones complemented by a White Carrera stone top and undermount single basin sink. Underfoot, Cathedral Heights "Divinity" tile brings a clean, elegant finish that ties the room together with quiet sophistication.
Laundry Room
The laundry room proves that hardworking spaces can be beautiful ones. Custom KraftMaid Lyndale cabinetry in Evercore Dove White keeps the room feeling bright and organized, while Valle Nevado granite countertops introduce a layer of natural texture — its soft, neutral movement adding subtle character without competing with the room's crisp, functional aesthetic.
