Basement Remodel

I'm currently working on a Basement Remodel for my House.
The Basement is about 1,200 sqf, and will include following spaces; Rec Room, Bar/ Kitchenette, Home Office, Bath, Home Gym and a Kid's Play Area.

I have just finalized a concept for The Rec Room and Bar/Kitchenette area. Below are images of this 409 sqf area of an unfinished basement; Before photos and concept images. This area will serve as an additional space for entertaining guests and family activities, away from rest of the house. Seating in Rec Room is modular and can be arranged depending on the occasion. A Plasma TV can be hidden behind decorative panels when not in use, and all the electrical cords are hidden inside a built-in media shelf.
Minimal space and minimal natural light are two factors to take into consideration. I tried to keep the space as open as possible and instead of adding walls utilize other visual separation to designate specific areas, letting the natural light travel through the space.

My goal is to take a dark, unfinished space and turn it into something enjoyable, functional and aesthetically pleasing.
