A sophisticated great room for some empty nesters.

Elegant home theater designed to compliment the English pub decor in the rest of the basement. This project won a National award from NARI. Designed & fabricated in the In-House Cabinet shop of Media Rooms Inc. Our goal was to not have any audio video components visible in the room. In addition to the audio and video system, we designed and fabricated (in-house) all of the interior elements including: acoustical wall panels, custom columns, wood millwork, proscenium (around the video screen) and custom counter in the rear of the theater room. We also installed a tin ceiling and supplied the carpet and chairs. We located the audio video components in an in-wall closet and fabricated an acoustical panel door to hide the components from view. The left and right front speakers were built into the decorative columns behind the acoustically transparent fabric. The center channel and subwoofers were built into the proscenium directly behind and below the screen. The side speakers are placed in one of the side decorative columns and the rear speakers were placed in the ceiling. Decorative acoustic panels were placed throughout the room to match the aesthetic and add absorption. We installed wood trim around the panels to add to the elegance of the room.

Kitchen

This is the definition of a modern farmhouse kitchen. Maple kitchen cabinetry with raised panel doors, open shelving in light colors and modern light fixtures draw the eyes up to a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. The end result is a beautiful and spacious modern country kitchen.

The master bathroom is divided into two main walls, the vanity wall and the tub/shower wall. A curved transom window lets in natural light. The ceiling opens into a vault.
