The original homeowner’s plan was to do an extensive renovation to the existing structure. Scott Simpson and Tom Kenny, owners of Scott Simpson Builders, collaborated with the homeowners and the architect, John Holbert, and decided to do new construction to utilize as many green technologies and building practices as possible. As the project progressed, more and more elements were employed to make this home a unique, environmentally sensitive structure.
GREENER BUILDING
Green technologies used in construction include:
--8,000 kw of photovoltaic cells.
--Installation of a net meter system by which excess energy can be sold back to the electric company.
--Solar panels to heat home’s floors through a radiant system and to heat the home’s water.
--Low VOC water-based urethane used to seal concrete basement floor and low VOC finishes throughout.
--Roof was made from Galvalume-an aluminum that reflects solar energy off the roof and reduces the need for air conditioning.
--The installation of an 8,000 gallon tank under the driveway to harvest rain water and re use it to water drought resistant trees and grasses. This is the FIRST rain water harvest system to be installed in the Village of Wilmette.
--Green roof located over garage.
--Benches used are Gabians, traditionally used for erosion control. The bricks used in the benches were recycled from the original brick home on the site.
--A rain garden was installed in the backyard as part of the storm water management system.
Innovative and creative solutions include:
--Creating mantles from trees that had to be removed from the property prior to construction.
--Stone for the fireplaces was made from Chilton Stone from Sussex, Wisconsin.
--1,500 s.f. of Villeroy & Boch tile through out house sourced and reused from a local convent that was converted into condominiums.
--Exterior siding from recycled pickle barrels.
--Recycled barn wood used throughout for closet doors and cabinetry.
--Grade school gymnasium floor recycled and used for children’s basement playroom.
--Decorative beams, hardwood flooring originated from timbers from the Thomas Edison factory in New London, Wisconsin.
--Shelving in the living room was built by Amish cabinetmakers, Lambright Woodworking, using reclaimed walnut.

THE SETUP
This remodeling project transformed a catchall room into a cinema-style theater designed for family entertainment and relaxation. The original space, which housed a small TV, older furniture, and various children’s toys, was reimagined to create a sophisticated, adult-friendly home theater with ample seating and modern amenities.
Design Objectives:
Create a Dark Theater Space: Ensure the room mimics a traditional movie theater environment.
Provide Comfortable Theater Seating: Include enough seating for the family and guests.
Integrate a Dry Bar Area: Include a space for snacks and drinks.
Optimize Space Utilization: Maintain an open area for additional activities.
Design Challenges:
Natural light: The room was too bright for a theater setting.
Seating: Accommodating six theater seats without obstructing views.
Lighting: Ensuring the lighting does not interfere with the viewing experience.
AV: Finding a clutter-free solution for AV equipment.
Dry Bar: Incorporating a dry bar area without overcrowding the space.
Viewing: Ensuring the TV placement allows for comfortable, optimized viewing.
THE RENEWED SPACE
Design Solutions:
Natural Light Control: Installed blackout remote shades on the back window and painted the walls dark charcoal to reduce natural light infiltration.
Seating Arrangement: Built a second level for the back row of seating to ensure unobstructed views for all movie watchers.
Lighting Design: Installed sconces on either side of the window that shine from the sides (to avoid interfering with the viewing experience).
AV Equipment Storage: Utilized existing recess areas with custom shelves matching the cabinetry and concealed cables using a PVC pipe system.
Dry Bar Integration: Created a dry bar area on the back wall with a refrigerator, candy storage, and a small counter space for a popcorn machine and ice maker, with locked drawers to prevent unsupervised access.
Optimal Viewing Distance: Evaluated multiple floor plans and placed the TV on the most suitable wall to ensure optimal viewing and comfortable reclined seating.
Final Thoughts:
The completed home theater has been a resounding success, providing a versatile space for the entire family. The thoughtful design and meticulous attention to detail have created a functional and enjoyable home theater that meets diverse needs, from watching movies and playing video games to relaxing and reading. The areas to the sides of the theater seats can accommodate spillover seating or activity zones. The area housing the AV equipment also includes extra shelves for storing snuggle-grade movie viewing blankets. This theater space has become a favorite hangout spot, offering comfort and entertainment for everyone.
This view shows the dual level theater seating, bean bags, open AV shelving on the right to tuck the cables which our installers ran behind the TV with PVC piping.
