Creating an “Escape”

The client, a playwright, wanted a space where she could comfortably relax for hours watching independent films, engage in conversations with friends and be immersed in creative thought.

She wanted to invoke feelings of destination, transition and drama. “This is very cool,” was what she wanted visitors to say when they stepped into her space.

Challenges & Solutions

Without doubt, electronic hardware, equipment, cables are an eye sore. Lights on electronic components are also distracting. In addition, the best speakers are ones no one can see. SoundVision’s challenge was making the hardware, components and wires all disappear.

- To achieve a clean design, SoundVision recessed high performance in-wall speakers into 4-inch stud bays, making them totally concealed by a perforated movie screen—a technique used in movie theaters.

- We recessed large subwoofers into the wall, and they were completely hidden by the fabric wall covering.

- Further concealing electronic components, we installed A/V hardware in the closet of an adjacent room.

Another challenge was dampening the fan noise of the projector.

Our approach:

- We recessed the projector into the soffit above the room, and created a cowl for the projector for ventilation and to further dampen the fan noise.

Mood was extremely important to our client, so the lighting and décor had to invoke an “escape” for her.

- Deep shades of blue across all finishes established the room’s mood while optimizing video performance.

- The fabric wall covering improved acoustics and enhanced speech recognition.

- The custom sofa comfortably seats four, maximizes space while creating an intimate setting.

- The blue cove LED lighting fixture complements the transition from land to sky.

- To add a more spacious feeling, a custom fiber optic “starfield” was fabricated from fiberglass.

- One touch movie lighting controls dim pendants slowly and activate the starfield.

SoundVision Wins Best Green Building Project

It was SoundVision's mastery of energy-efficient design and ability to surpass LEED qualifications that earned the company the prestigious Remmie Award presented by the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. The award highlighted SoundVision's design and installation of a holistic control system that maximizes energy efficiency of every electronic and electrical component of a Marin County home.

Bottom line: the home generates more electricity than it consumes in a year.

Here's how SoundVision did it, in collaboration with Mahoney Architects & Interiors, Anna Kondolf Lighting Design and Larwood Construction:

Expensive use of LED lighting fixtures and intelligent lighting controls. A power management system reduces energy use by up to 70% by shutting down systems completely, instead of placing them in stand-by mode.

Installation of sensors throughout the home to monitor power, water and gas consumption. Sensors provide data in real-time to elegantly designed touch-screen control panels, allowing homeowners to monitor energy consumption.

Majority of materials used in the project are sustainable or recycled. Surrounding property was landscaped to reuse rainwater for irrigation, and a 12-kilowatt solar system serves as the home's primary power source.
