The rooms, once the equipment disappears.

Our work is meant to be invisible, which makes it awkward to photograph and easy to underestimate. Here is what it looks like when it is done properly.

Selected rooms

Through the house.

Great room with the fireplace centered between full-height windows
Great room

Everything in it, nothing you can see.

Display, sources and speakers specified with the architecture rather than added to it. No rack in the room, no speaker you can point at, no wire anywhere a wire would show.

A room built for one purpose.
Dedicated theater

A room built for one purpose.

Four seats, a fixed screen, and the equipment out of sight.

Landscape pod speakers through the beds and around the pool.
Outdoor

Landscape pod speakers through the beds and around the pool.

Audio that carries across the whole yard without a speaker you can point at.

Built in with the cabinetry, not mounted onto it.
Keeping room

Built in with the cabinetry, not mounted onto it.

Display and sources specified alongside the millwork, so the joinery was built around the equipment.

Wall-mounted flush, cabling in the wall.
Primary suite

Wall-mounted flush, cabling in the wall.

Shades and lighting on the same keypad as the rest of the house.

Selected rooms

Through the house.

Media room with blue cove lighting, floorstanding speakers and reclining seating
Media room

Cove lighting, and a speaker layout that suits the room it is in.

A room under a sloped ceiling is a difficult room to do properly. Screen height, speaker placement and the lighting were set together rather than one after the other.

A display inside the millwork, beside the wine room.
Living room

A display inside the millwork, beside the wine room.

Specified with the cabinetmaker so the screen sits in the joinery rather than on top of it.

Above the fireplace, between the glass.
Great room

Above the fireplace, between the glass.

The display sits where the room already wanted a focal point, with the sources out of the room entirely.

Covered outdoor living, wired like an indoor room.
Pool and loggia

Covered outdoor living, wired like an indoor room.

Audio and video under the roofline, rated for the weather that gets to it anyway.

Architectural lighting across the back of the house.
After dark

Architectural lighting across the back of the house.

On a schedule, so it is already on before anyone thinks to ask for it.

The builder relationship

A/V design partner for Ryan Custom Homes.

We are in the drawings before the walls close — sitting with the builder, the architect and the interior designer while there is still time to put the wire where it belongs. That is why the equipment in these rooms is somewhere you are not looking at.

For builders →

Shown by permission. Most of what we build is in private homes, and stays that way.

We are used to being in the room early, while the walls are still open. That is when the good decisions get made, and when they are cheapest to make. There is asection written for the trade — separate pages forbuilders,architects,designers andremodelers.
