This project centers around the remodel of the daylight basement of a contemporary Queen Anne Residence, overlooking the Puget Sound. The clients wanted to have a home theater, game room, exercise room, and entertainment room designed within an exisiting shell.

Walking through the grove of Aspens to the front door creates a progression to the house through nature, softening the exterior of the house and providing a Northwest garden.

The large steel panels of in the new interior space can be opened or closed to completely change the function of the space. Sliding copper panels are designed to slide in front of the windows to darken the room for movies. The irregular pattern of the ceiling optimizes the sound quality of the room by targeting specific wavelengths of sound.
