HOME THEATRE

This is a home theatre we recently completed for a Coquitlam residence.
Again, my apologies for the poor quality photo.

As with all of the custom architectural woodwork we do, this project was designed to meet the specific needs of the client and built from scratch.

The cabinets were made of maple and stained almost black. This was done for two reasons. One was to match some of the existing millwork and the other was so that the cabinets would virtually disappear when watching the screen.

The cabinets on either side of the screen provided space for the electronic equipment and storage. Drawers at the bottom provided storage for media. Space was also provided in the cabinets for speakers with removable fabric covered front panels.

A special challenge with this project was the crown molding. The room was finished before they started planning the theatre. The owners were not sure what to do with the large crown molding as they wanted the cabinets to come to the ceiling. This problem was solved with an additional matching molding at the front of the cabinets, essentially, in appearance moving the back wall forward to the front of the cabinets for a seamless built-in effect.
