CCI Renovations/North Vancouver/Photos - Derek Lepper.
Unique book matched cherry television cabinet offsets the vertical faux concrete fireplace surround. Equipment cabinets were designed to match the TV cabinet and are set up with forced ventilation to cool the numerous systems for the entertainment centre. Existing space was reworked to have one main focal point which includes the TV and the fireplace. The overall feeling of openness was achieved by raising the doors and windows to the maximum height available and removing the TV from the floor.
A thermostatically controlled fireplace provides warmth during the winter while a new air conditioning system coupled with automatic blinds provides cooling and room darkening in the summer. Positioning of the TV above the fireplace eliminated the need to maintain the awkward seating area.
