From the start of the installation, the home’s audio video was engineered to achieve industry reference standards for both audio and video performance. To meet the tight time schedule, we carefully coordinated framing, electrical, drywall, painting, and millwork contractors so that as soon as each phase was complete the next could immediately begin. To create a workable shell, a wall was built to enclose the space and millwork was built in front of the bay windows that housed the screen, front speakers, and subwoofer. The sliding glass doors were covered by blackout shades to block outside light. Drywall was removed behind the wainscoting to allow enough space for the chairs and the entry door at the rear of the room without everything looking cramped. We worked closely with the client and interior designer to ensure the color selection would aide in making the room look good when the lights were on without picture quality degradation.
