ACOUSTIC COMFORT : On the kitchen/dining room side the door is padded with felt panels which dampen the clatter in this busy space.

We needed a solution to hide our TV components (they live behind the baskets), create storage, and add some seating to the space, so we had this bench and cushion made custom to match the dining banquette on the other side of the room. Textile wall hangings add a softness to the space and dampen sound, so I went that route over hanging framed art to keep it cozy. I picked up this mid-century style marble table at Target because I needed a place to set my coffee. Image: James Stewart

This yard was an unusable muddy lawn flanked by tall Arborvitae. We removed the hedge and replaced it will a beautiful Ipe screen that serves as the backdrop to a concrete water feature that spills into a channel that runs the length of the patio. Corten steel planters contain Equisetum plantings, as well as Bamboo that screens a trampoline for the childrens fun. Pavers and black mexican pebbles make up the new hardscape for the patio.

Vant panels were installed along the longest wall, for a modern aesthetic and also for noise dampening.

We kept wall colors in cool greys which look beautiful with the deep blue curtains. Sheers are used throughout the house to provide light control and privacy and to soften the space and provide sound dampening.

Full theater design from. The carpets to the electronics. With sound dampening and electronics control, it is important to note a room. Like this takes close coordination with the architect for the home when it is being built or an open mind for a retrofit.

The open stairwell: glass walls perform the triple function of sound dampening, moving light through the space, and providing the safety barrier. Exquisite execution. (Rob Moroto, Calgary Photos)

Special sound proofing is a must, install wall and ceiling insulation along with sound-dampening materials, such as high-density vinyl along a specialty drywall such as QuietRock. This is a very effective sound barrier.
