Best Home Theater Level V ($200,000 - $400,000)
The award winning custom designed home theater has room dimension of 26' wide x 34' long with 9' ceilings and is able to seat 22 people; 16 luxurious theater seats, with 6 bar stools along a granite counter behind the third row. The free-floating platform was a unique design which allows all viewers to comfortably enjoy the show with unobstructed site lines. An acoustical wall absorption system was integrated into the millwork to improve the room acoustics.
Best Media Room
The award winning media room was designed to handle dancing, karaoke, games, cocktails, and movies. This media area is equipped with three monitors. Two smaller 32" models flank an 8-foot wide 16:9 Stewart Luxas wall mount. Motorized curtains were specified to add some color and drama to the cabinet wall, but another purpose was found, side masking. Easily controlled with one button using the AMX the client can achieve a 4:3 version by adjusting the curtain to different limits.
Best Hidden Installation
The award winning hidden installation required getting involved in the architectural planning stage. Initially this room was designed with a small crawl space below the floor. By suggesting increasing the space to accommodate 4', a 50" Plasma TV could be raised to a comfortable viewing height and conceal the center channel in the base. With the help of Electrokinetics a "double" lift system was designed for this project. Clean lines, no clutter and NO visible Electronics!
