Bigger is not always better. At least that is what you will see with a new custom project we kicked off recently.
We were excited to get started on a home theater project for a Chesterfield family. One because home theaters are fun projects for us. And, two, because this one came with a bit of a challenge. We had to design the theater into the space where homeowners desired – a small unfinished area off of their finished lower level.
The good news is that with careful design, we got it in and when it’s complete the homeowners will have a beautiful home theater that seats about 11 with seven in theater seating and four on stools at the in-theater bar.
Our design also includes the special touches:
- Artistic lighting for movie posters in the vestibule outside the theater.
- An elevated floor so they have graduated floor height for the theater seats.
- A large screen, about 102’ x 60’, with speakers behind for through-the-screen sound.
- Beautiful cherry trim throughout the home theater.
- The theater will be outfitted with technology and lighting to enhance performance and aesthetics of the small space.
- Acoustical wall and ceiling panels. And, resilient sound-channel drywall and insulation surrounding the theater walls and ceiling to control sound and vibration to other areas of the home.
“Kudos to Dennis and the team, especially Dennis I really credit in terms of creativity with the design,” said Jeff Davis, homeowner. “They have packed a premiere theater into a fairly constrained space and I think it’s turning out very well.” Hearing this type of feedback from our clients is our favorite part of the job.
Just because you may have a challenging space does not mean that you cannot dream big. At DH Custom Homes, we love the challenge of matching your aspiration with your budget and home.
