Behind the Scenes

Behind the Scenes, Ahead of the Curve

Our private client wanted to enjoy cutting-edge technology without compromising the welcoming atmosphere of their home. Our solution: a personalized setup that’s there when they need it, and “where?” when they don’t.

During an extensive remodel, we worked closely with the project contractor and a custom cabinet company to install a home entertainment system that tucks away completely when not in use. When guests enter our client’s home, they are welcomed by a wall of cabinetry that features a large statement painting. The artwork sits on a hidden track that allows it to slide seamlessly in front of the bookshelves, revealing a 55” television at our client’s command.

In addition to the hidden television, we rewired the space for centralized audio, video distribution and a home network. Our client is able to control each room in their home using a handheld Crestron remote. Each TV has access to 2 cable boxes, Apple TV and a bluray player. Audio and video for the entire home is easily managed from a single iPad located in the kitchen, offering control without complication.

The big finale: this state-of-the-art setup doesn’t leave a trace. No wiring or equipment is visible when the room is not in use. All shared audio and video sources are concealed in an accessible central space; this custom system is--truly--a hidden gem.

Project Overview
