Design leadership, remote coordination, specialist finishes

Context

This project involved converting an unused space beneath a garage into a dedicated home movie theater. The room came with physical constraints — including metal floor joists above — which required careful planning for lighting, acoustics, and ceiling treatment.

The client wanted a space that felt theatrical and fun, but not showy — a room her family could genuinely enjoy together.

My involvement

I worked remotely with the client, building on an existing relationship and a high level of trust. My role was to design the overall look and feel of the room, coordinate across trades, and carry responsibility for how the space came together visually and practically.

I collaborated closely with the client’s carpenter, AV specialist, and electrician, using mock-ups, visual references, and clear communication to guide decisions and ensure the work was executed well from a distance.
