Most home theaters feel like an afterthought—a dark box in the basement with a few recliners. For this project, we wanted to build something that inspired pride the moment you walked in with a guest. We leaned into a Moody Transitional aesthetic, using a "color-drenching" technique with a deep, sophisticated teal across the walls, ceiling, and custom millwork. This creates an immersive, cocoon-like feel that’s as much about the atmosphere as it is about the movie. The centerpiece is the waterfall-edge stone bar. We designed this specifically so the host can pour a drink or serve appetizers without being tucked away in a kitchen or disconnected from the conversation. It bridges the gap between a high-end sports lounge and a professional-grade cinema. From the custom-curated memorabilia gallery to the digital "Now Showing" display, every detail was executed with elite craftsmanship to ensure this space feels like an extension of the homeowner’s success.

This luxury primary suite was designed for two hard-working parents seeking a tranquil sanctuary to recharge after a long day. The bathroom’s finishes were chosen to evoke a sense of serene beauty, while a new oversized casement window invites abundant natural light and offers a soothing view of the lush, private backyard. Thoughtful touches like a heated towel rail, amenity niches, dimmable light fixtures, and automated window shades elevate the suite's spa-like atmosphere.

Laying out a digital floor plan to scale is one of the first things we do with EVERY DESIGN. Space Planning enables our clients to visualize how the new design will work in their unique space and gives everyone a chance to test placement and design before any materials are ordered or any physical changes are made. Like the Family Room, this Living Room was also long, narrow, and a challenge to furnish. A custom small-scaled sectional and comfy wing chair with ottoman was the perfect selection for this space. Fabrics were kept in a neutral color range and compliment the colorful artwork on the walls. The area rug was shaggy, colorful and fun and turned out to be the preferred location for afternoon naps by the family dog.
