this perspective shows better the storage accommodations. Each section was specifically designed for the size of the items which it was to house. At the outset, we determined to keep a % of items stored behind closed doors so as not to overwhelm the room with exposed material and disguise it's function rendering it as much a Den as a Library.

A traditional 1926 cottage was transformed into a stunning, contemporary home. The focal point from both inside and out is a 3-story floating wood and stainless staircase, showcased by oversized windows and dramatic lighting. Walnut cabinetry with a distinct stain and natural slab surfaces offset the metals used throughout – Including at the interior and exterior of the fireplace. Reclaimed wood floors pay homage to the industrial area the home is situated in. In designing this home restrictions set forth by the building department were key. For instance, in order for the project to be considered a remodel the existing 8’ tall perimeter walls had to remain in place. The homeowners desperately wanted 9’ tall ceilings, so with crafty engineering and framing we were able to embellish the existing wall framing to achieve the added height. Clearstory windows allow much needed light into the spaces and creates the illusion of spaciousness, while maintaining wall areas for key furnishings and artwork. Every inch of space maximizes storage throughout the 2,600 square foot home. A cabinet for shoe storage immediately inside the front door also serves as a key component at the staircase and provides a platform to highlight sculptural artwork. Unique products and details, such as a metal link shower curtain and custom built-in guest beds with strategically placed outlets and horizontal surfaces to allow for electronics to be close at hand, elevate this home to the next level.

Modern entertainment wall unit in genuine solid walnut and veneers. Lower doors are "garage" style with touch latches, and house electronic sound and home theater components.

Here is an example of a incredible sounding surround sound system without any visible components. The electronics are located in another room, the front speakers are hidden behind the fabric-treated wall, the rear speakers are in-ceiling. The TV can even be lowered into the furniture if needed.

The entertainment center was designed as two components: a long pediment with drawers to stow away toys and house electronics, and a portico of shelving to display accessories.

Wine cellar racks being assembled. Our company is unique in that we actually design and build cabinets and theater interiors in-house. We do not subcontract these services out to others. We take a highly creative approach when designing custom cabinetry. We are extremely sensitive to the leading role that media and entertainment centers play in today’s interior design. Every facet of each cabinet is evaluated for function and appearance. First, we look at how the furniture will blend with the existing environment. We build any style of furniture from traditional to contemporary and in all cases strive for harmony in the design. Secondly, we evaluate how the client will use the cabinetry, such as, where is the best TV viewing angle, component accessibility and how the size, shape and location will affect other elements in the room. In addition to the artistic beauty of our cabinetry, good design is the key element to well built, long-lasting and user-friendly furniture crafted specifically for each customer’s lifestyle. We only use premium-grade veneered plywoods and hardwood, and premium quality hardware. All Cabinets, Theater Interiors and Electronic Installations shown were Designed, Built and Installed by Media Rooms Inc.
