BEST MULTIPURPOSE / DEN / MEDIA ROOM | SILVER + BRONZE
Style &
Substance
THERE'S MUCH more
to this elegantly
adorned great room than
meets the eye. On the
surface, it may look like a
luxurious respite, but
working behind the scenes is
a host of high-performance
technologies and systems.
The 65-inch Sony 4K
display that graces the great
room may be apparent, but
it detracts minimally from
the design aesthetic. This
one-and-only visual sign of
technology is accompanied
by a KEF Uni-Q Theater
soundbar, in-wall subwoofer
and four in-ceiling KEF
speakers to create a nearly
invisible yet dynamic 5.1
surround-sound system.
Interestingly, per the request
of the homeowners, Advanced
Integrated Controls
offset the soundbar from the
display - an atypical placement,
certainly, but it adds
a unique and complementary
design feature to the
room. Advanced Integrated
Controls worked closely with
the homeowners, architect,
builder and other contractors
to ensure everyone was on
the same page through the
project, even when last-minute
changes like the soundbar
installation occurred.
Custom Lutron Palladiom
and Sivoia motorized shades
and Lutron QS automated
lighting enhance the beauty
and performance of the great
room. These components,
along with the AV equipment,
are managed by an
Elan Home Systems g! controller.

WHEN GUESTS VISIT
this well-appointed
media room, they can help
but gush over the grand AV
accouterments. It's hard not
to, given the room's focal
point: a Screen Innovations
133-inch Slate acoustically
transparent screen, fed
stunning images by a JVC
projector. Movies come to
life and so do games, thanks
to the integration of several
gaming consoles by Elite AV.
The owners also wanted the
option to watch content on
a smaller display, so Elite AV

added a 75-inch Sony TV. No
matter which display takes
on the action, an Origin
Acoustics surround-sound
system with JL Audio
subwoofer envelops viewers
with immersive audio.
It may be difficult for the
audience to pull their eyes
from the dynamic displays,
but there's eye-candy above,
too. Three EpiXsky star ceilings
create a stunning visual
effect. Complementing it are
color-changing LED lights
positioned to accentuate
coves, bars and cabinets.
Perhaps the most remarkable
aspect of this project is
how easy it to control. Elite
AV tailored scenes and controls
to engage at the press
of a button. In an instant, the
room comes to life, with minJVC

imal effort, just enjoyment.
From its humble beginnings
as a tear-down and complete
redo, this room proves that
anything is possible with
proper planning, thoughtful
integration, and killer gear.
