Requisite Sanctuary

This media room has a flat screen TV as well as an integrated recessed projector and screen. There are black out shades on the windows at the rear of the room to negate light for a high quality viewing experience. The speaker system is integrated into the cabinetry and ceiling systems. The Bookworm book shelves are flexible and offer some asymmetry which gives the room a more relaxed feel. This is a 5000+ sf vacation home that sits up on a hill with stunning views of Carmel Valley. The goal was to remodel the home with the intention of harnessing the beauty of its natural setting, while creating a tranquil place of respite and refuge. As the client has kids, large show dogs, and family/friends enjoying the space, it was important to use finishes that could sustain multiple end users. In lieu of hardwood floors, I specified a ceramic faux bois tile for high traffic areas that looks like hardwood but is virtually indestructible. With warm finishes and sculptural forms, the newly designed home is now dynamic, earthy and inviting.
