Berkeley Bungalow

Bungalow With Dual Personalities

To distribute music into every nook and cranny of the house we used round in-ceiling speakers, weatherproof outdoor speakers for the deck and backyard and wall-panel touch screens to control each zone.

Our clients wished to be able to watch movies in the main theater and entertain friends and family in the backyard concurrently. By using a mult-zone system at the head end we were able to allow our clients the ability to use their home theater while listening to music in other areas of their home.

Floorplan
Motorized Lift

Motorized Lift

A motorized lift was designed to conceal the Runco CL510 Projector. The projector and screen appear, providing a full home theater experience without consuming the decor.

80' Screen

80' Screen

The interior design is uninterrupted until the push of a button reveals an 80" screen. The console table holds an Integra Home Theater System and a B&K Multi-Room System to manage audio inside and outside of the residence. Paradigm Cinema Series speakers provide the surround sound, and it's all controlled by a B&K remove, including the lights.

In-ceiling Speakers

In-ceiling Speakers

The Paradigm In-ceiling Speakers show here fill the dining room with distributed audio. A total of 10 in-ceiling speakers were installed in the interior, controlled by 5 interior B&K keypads. The B&K Multiroom System manages the five distinct interior zones as well as the two exterior zones in the back yard.

B&K Keypad

B&K Keypad

The bedroom is home to the Sharp 37" LCD Panel display, seamlessly installed into the wall. The B&K keypad controls the audio distributed to the room which is delivered by two Paradigm In-ceiling speakers.

Exterior

Exterior

There are two distinct audio zones to the exterior of the home. Both the deck and backyard have two Paradigm Stylus 250's which are controlled by B&K keypads custom installed in weather-proof boxes.

Quick Facts

Client Requirements

BIG home theater. BIG home audio distributed throughout the interior and exterior of the property.

Client Concerns

"We want a powerful integrated system - but we don't want our living room to look like the cockpit of the Millenium Falcon."

Obstacles

Lathe and plaster, a false ceiling, and a newly acquired three year old dalmation named "Lucky".

Scope of the Project

For the main Home Theater the client wanted to retain the beautiful decor of the room while still creating a true Cinematic experience. To accomplish this we designed a ceiling lift for the projector, a "bomb bay" style screen and an array of small speakers tucked seamlessly into the corners of the room. When the system is off nothing resembling a home theater can be seen. With a push of a button the projector and screen drop from the ceiling and the room is transformed into a state-of-the-art home theater.
