Case Study: The Venice Beach House That Changed Its Mind Mid-Project
Framing was complete when the client called and said they wanted a dedicated home theater. Not a media room. A real one—projector, screen wall, tiered seating, 7.2.4 Atmos, the full brief. The problem: the room we had to work with was a glass-walled ground-floor space never intended to go dark. Salvaging the layout meant redesigning the AV plan, re-framing one wall, and having a very honest conversation about what their family would actually use. Here's what we built, how we kept the ocean view, and the concession the client made that saved the whole project.
