“They listened to all of my questions and design requests. They used quality materials and helped us get the exact look we were after.”
— Jennifer Stacey · 5

01 · The layout

2D & 3D floor plans

Before we touch a single stud, you see exactly how the space is laid out — every room, wall, and fixture planned around the way you live. You get both a measured 2D plan and a 3D top-down model, so the layout reads clearly whether you think in blueprints or in space.

2D Floor Plan

Room layout, dimensions, and fixtures — the working blueprint.

3D top-down model of a finished Calgary basement

3D Floor Plan

A furnished top-down model — see the space, not just the lines.

Layouts are drawn on your home's actual measurements. You review and approve the layout before construction begins.

02 · The renderings

Photorealistic 3D renderings

This is where it stops being a guess. We generate photo-real renderings of your actual rooms — finished, furnished, and lit — so you walk through the basement on screen before we drive a single nail. The architecture stays true to your home; the renderings just show what it becomes.

03 · Before & after

Watch the vision come to life

Drag the handle to go from the 3D design model to the photorealistic reimagining. Both sit on the same camera angle and the same real measurements — so you're watching your room come to life, not flipping through a stock catalogue.

04 · Four directions

The same room, four ways

One layout can feel like four completely different homes. We render your space in four style directions — from bright and airy to deep and dramatic — each one paired with real, specified products: the flooring, the paint colour, the materials. Pick one as your starting point, mix them, or bring your own. You make every call.

05 · The walkthrough

A dedicated video for your project

Renderings show you the space. The video shows you the story — a narrated walkthrough that moves through your basement, explains the design choices, and lets you feel the flow of the finished space. Replay it as many times as you like, and share it with anyone whose opinion matters before you decide.

06 · One private link

Your own project web page

Everything above lives on a single page built just for you — your floor plans, renderings, before/after sliders, style directions, video, the full scope of work, and your transparent price. One link, no logins, open it on your phone, your laptop, or the big screen in the living room.

It's the easiest design package you'll ever review: nothing to download, nothing to dig through an inbox for. Send it to your partner, your parents, whoever's weighing in — they see exactly what you see.

The design process

Four steps, before we break ground

We Measure Your Space01

We Measure Your Space

Your design is built on your home's actual measurements and layout — not a generic template. Every wall, post, window, and duct is accounted for before we render anything.

Oscar Designs It02

Oscar Designs It

Oscar Fonseca — Bachelor of Industrial Design, 25+ years in cabinetry and space planning — designs your basement room by room, around how you actually live.

You See It Photorealistic03

You See It Photorealistic

You receive photo-real renderings, a layout, four style directions, and a narrated video — you walk through the finished space before you commit a dollar.

You Choose Every Finish04

You Choose Every Finish

Browse a curated selection package — paint, tile, countertops, cabinetry, flooring, hardware — and make every material choice. What you sign for is what gets built.

Honest about the tech

A Note on the AI Renderings

An example ReImagine AI rendering of a finished, furnished Calgary basement
An actual AI rendering — a vivid sketch of the finished room, not a literal photograph.

The renderings, style directions, and video are directional visualizations generated from your home's actual layout and measurements. The AI behind them is good — and still evolving — so it will occasionally add, alter, or stylize elements that aren't part of your quoted scope: a piece of furniture, a décor detail, a finish that drifts from the real product.

Use them to get a true feel for the space, the proportions, and the style — not as a pixel-perfect, literal preview. Think of them as a vivid sketch of the finished room, not a photograph of it.

What is exact: the layout, the measurements, and every material you select. Every finish is confirmed with you in writing before construction begins — what you sign for is what gets built.

Want it exact?

A full design package, built to spec

If the AI design package gets you 90% of the way there but you want the last 10% nailed down — exact materials, exact dimensions, true-to-product renderings you can build straight from — we'll produce a complete, made-to-spec design package by hand, drawn precisely to your specifications and selections.

$750

flat — exact materials, exact measurements, design done to your precise specs.

Optional. The free AI design package is more than enough for most homeowners to decide and build — this is for when you want every detail locked before the first cut.
