Chicago High Rise Residence
This Gold Coast High Rise was a total interior transformation. Our primary goal was to create a simple to operate Audio & Video system that would allow our clients to switch from daily use to entertaining with the push of a button. We were also asked to provide insight into the latest lighting design techniques and control platforms.
The primary entertainment room is based around a Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound receiver from Denon. This receiver also provides background music throughout the common areas of the home. For viewing, we recommended a Pioneer Elite 50” plasma TV. By working closely with Cheryl D. & Company we were able to seamlessly integrate all of the A/V components and the TV flat panel mounting system into the custom designed and built cabinetry.
A circulating ventilation system was employed to cool the A/V components within the cabinetry. We pulled in cool air around the door frames and exhausted it up behind the TV wall panel and out through ventilation slots behind the TV. This air circulation system is noise free and does an excellent job cooling the components.
All speakers are bookshelf style with a micro sized Velodyne Mini-Vee for subwoofer. The MX-3000 touch screen remote was programmed with his and her favorite channels along with simple 1 button startups for daily operation and full home entertainment scenes.
