We met with architect Rod Kelly on site for a photoshoot of Benvenuti & Stein’s latest basement remodel. Rod walked us through the complexities of reworking a 60-year-old foundation—structural coordination, mechanical re-routing, moisture management, and the tight tolerances older homes demand. The challenges were many, but the finished space proves the effort was worth it.
Every element from Benvenuti & Stein is custom manufactured in their own workshops. The fine bar, bespoke counter and shelving, refrigerated walk-in wine cellar, and hand-rubbed wall paneling—finishings that wouldn’t be out of place in the most palatial residences—are all meticulously crafted by hand. The results combine refined craftsmanship with thoughtful architectural problem-solving.
More images and details from this project coming soon.
