Basement VR Studio

A privacy-preserving public-interest studio alternative to a basement rental apartment.

The real conflict

A basement rental may make sense on paper, but it risks destroying the privacy, control, quiet, and psychological safety that make the home livable.

Brother's framing:
basement → rental unit → monthly income

Ken's framing:
basement → controlled green-screen VR studio → public-interest media lab

Studio use

The basement can become a controlled, appointment-based studio where people who share the mission can make YouTube videos, PSAs, accessibility demos, VR/8K experiments, and open-source public media.

Suggested zones

Zone A: Green-screen / VR capture area
Zone B: Seated interview / PSA recording setup
Zone C: Server / network / storage rack
Zone D: Prop and equipment storage
Zone E: Editing / control desk

Boundary rule

Appointment only. Project based. No overnight guests. No unsupervised household access. No tenant rights. The space should create public value without making the home psychologically uninhabitable.
