We just LOVE it when Interior Designers contact us early in the design phase of a home. The end result is always stunning, and usually wins all sorts of interior design & custom installation awards. You can see from the pictures here that this Media Room is definitely unique. It features an automated multi-color backlit onyx fireplace and a "video art" projection dome. Here's the story:
First, we have a great space to work with, a luxury condo on the top floor of the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills. At the end of the grand entry foyer, you enter the space you see here...the focal point of the residence. The client wanted this space to be the main Media Room, but taken to a whole new level. The client challenged us and Philip Nimmo of Philip Nimmo & Company, the talented Interior Design firm, to come up with something special...and we did.
You can see from the pictures that the onyx fireplace is lit in two different colors. These are just two of about a dozen different colors that can be called up instantly from the wireless Crestron home automation touchpanel. LED lighting behind the onyx gives the desired effect. It can even be set to automatically fade in-and-out of different colors.
And now, for something completely different...a 'video art' dome ceiling! A large dome (30' wide x 15' high) is definitely a unique feature in any room, so why not use it to wow visitors and set completely different moods for the space? Michael Fehmers, one of DSI's talented system designers, came up with the idea of using the dome as a virtual video projection "screen". To equally fill all of the surfaces of the dome, four hidden projectors are used along with a special computer server system. The video system serves up the many video sources (Blu-ray, satellite TV, AppleTV, many custom-made atmospheric video 'scenes', still photos, CCTV) and applies the necessary 'warp and blend' settings to the 4 projectors to give a seamless video image.

Oh yeah, this room is also a Media Room, so of course it features an excellent surround sound system and a large LED flat panel TV. The Crestron touchscreen also controls the home's Vantage lighting control system, Lutron Sivoia motorized drapes and shades, CCTV, and whole house music system.
If you are building your luxury dream home or contemplating a remodel, you owe it to yourself to Your family and your home will thank you for it.
