Inspiration for a 1950s light wood floor family room remodel in San Francisco with a wall-mounted tv

By placing the TV up high across from the bed, the viewing angle is very comfortable and the TV height allows a 6'8" person to walk underneath. To support the 4K video distribution, we incorporated a full 5.1 surround sound audio system for this room. The wood fireplace was hand built with a small 4" x 5" picture as reference for the craftsman. This master suites lighting and A/V are all controlled via a handheld remote, iOS or Android devices and have simple commands like watch TV or goodnight to manage the lights and the A/V with the touch of a single button.

Since all the children were sharing one hall bathroom, our client requested that we add a small bathroom off the kitchen. We maximized every inch of space in this bathroom as demonstrated by the recessed shelving niche above the vanity.

The foyer and main entry feature quartersawn red oak. All boards were 4-1/2" wide and are between 6' and 13' in length. We doubled the underlayment below so we could run the hardwood parallel to the floor joists. Curved staircase and other curved features soften the the areas presentation. The blown art glass chandelier is raised and lowered via the Aladdin lift for cleaning.

Architect: Portuondo Perotti Architects Photography: Carlos Domenech “This is well detailed and consistent inside and out. It is a classic Mediterranean Revival in the Floridian tradition of Mizner.” This single-family residential home in Gables Estates, Coral Gables, Florida, successfully pays respect to the architecture of the Mediterranean and Renaissance Italian styles. From the use of courtyards to the high level of detailing, this project emphasizes the most picturesque and expressive qualities of these styles. The residence reflects the visions of two of Coral Gables’ first architects, who designed beautiful and timeless architecture in this garden city to become a lasting piece in the landscape. This project not only captures the breathtaking views of Biscayne Bay, but with timeless style and lush landscaping, it creates a centerpiece for the view from the bay to Coral Gables. The home is designed as a long gallery, with spaces connected by courtyards and public realms. Another large inspiration for this project was the idea of the garden and landscape. With Coral Gables as a garden city, landscape became an integral part of the conception and design. The durability of Marvin products, their ability to stand up to the South Florida climate, as well as the Marvin attention to detail and proportion, made them the perfect choice to employ in a project of such high standards. The range of products allowed the freedom of design to explore all possibilities and turn visions into reality. The result was a lasting piece of architecture that would reflect a level of detail in every part of its structure.

Removing walls partially or totally is in demand due to the changes in our modern architecture and quickly demonstrates how far your home can escape the 70's, 80's and 90's.

This is an example of a contemporary partial sun backyard stone formal garden in DC Metro for summer.

The basement offers 10' ceiling height, but coordinating with various early trades (plumbing-Electrical-HVAC) to retain this height was important. The lighting in the basement uses several different types of recessed lights to execute the plan. Its a great space to discuss numerous topics about technology and home construction.

This Family Room entertainment system has (5) in-ceiling speakers and (1) subwoofer for the 5.1 surround sound system. The eliminate the chance of residual sound making its way upstairs, we used an acoustical mass barrier above the second floor joists prior to installing the plywood decking. This "limp mass barrier" effectively blocks 95% of the sound from the in-ceiling speakers. the last 5% is handled by the blown insulation. The audio system has the ability to "synchronize the Family Room & Kitchen areas for a seamless playback without any unwanted audio delays or echo.

Looking from the kitchen into the breakfast table and Family Room gives you a good sense of the 55' width of the home. The in-wall speakers are incredible sounding and were placed high enough so when entertaining the sound carries across the room.
