Built roomBasement bathroom: from Fusion to a real room
A Fusion room model paired with the actual basement construction: exposed drains, supply lines, and the tiled shower that followed. The bathroom now exists in our house.

A construction record of the basement taking shape, from open framing and concealed services to boarded walls and tiled spaces.
I photographed the basement while the framing, plumbing, and other services were still exposed. Most of that work disappeared behind board, tile, and finished surfaces, so the progress photos are the only way to see the full sequence now.
The plans and construction photos all belong to the same basement project. I kept them together so the room layouts can be compared with the plumbing, framing, and finished spaces that followed.
The bathroom page pairs its Fusion drawing with plumbing and tile photos. The angled bookshelf also has its own page, including the drawing and the finished installation.
I worked on the room layout and documented the basement while it was being built. The photos follow the project from open framing and exposed plumbing through wall enclosure, tile, and finished rooms. That sequence matters because most of the mechanical work disappeared once the walls closed. I am keeping my role specific here: the design work and owner documentation are mine, while the archive does not break down every construction responsibility.

The exact final completion date and division of labor are not inferred from folder names. The separate 2026 upstairs-bathroom project is not combined with this record.
