Our basement gallery features walk-out entertainment levels, wet bars, guest suites, and recreation rooms from custom homes we’ve built across Central Iowa metro. These aren’t unfinished afterthoughts. They’re fully designed lower levels with the same attention to detail as every room above grade.
In central Iowa, most custom homes include a full basement. The lot type walkout, daylight, or flat determines what’s possible below grade. Our clients across West Central Iowa, Waukee, and Ankeny treat their basements as a second living floor. Full wet bars. Home theatres. Guest bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Workout rooms. Game areas for the kids. Some even include a second kitchen.
Browse these basement ideas from real Claman projects. Every layout was planned during the design phase, not figured out after the main level was finished. Erin guides the finish selections below grade with the same care she brings to the kitchen and primary suite.
Take a visual tour of our homes. From spacious interiors to luxurious exteriors, our homes are designed to exceed your expectations. Browse our gallery to see the many ways we can create the perfect home for you.

Look at the ceiling height. A Claman basement starts at 9 feet. That single decision transforms a lower level from a cave into a room that feels like the main floor.
Look at the design choices for the basement room. Every space has a purpose. A wet bar with seating. A media area with dedicated lighting. A guest suite with its own bathroom. Production builders frame one open room and call it finished. We design individual zones.
Look at the finishes. The flooring, trim, and lighting match the quality of the main level. If you can’t tell which floor you’re on, that’s the point.
You've browsed our basement gallery. Every wet bar, guest suite, and entertainment area was designed with the same care as the kitchen and primary suite upstairs. Erin will bring that standard to your lower level, too. Save your favorites. Please tell us what you want below grade. We'll make it part of your floor plan from the start.
