It is made up of a lounge, gym, gold room, an [indoor pool](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/william-vale-hotel), and a bar. The basement has originally converted the space into a new guest suite that connects the home to the new underground space. To maintain the privacy of the space while allowing enough space to bring in natural light, a tall wall is installed to filter the light downwards through windows. There is also a [planter box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-by-the-grove) to bring in some nature that softens the hard surfaces of the building. Additionally, the home has a wall of glass windows by the sitting area and bar to continue filtering through the natural lighting.
