| Tucked into the mountains of
Evergreen Colorado you’ll find this log home with its amazing
“gold mine” theatre. Our client surprised her husband, who has a
love of mines, with his own “gold mine” as a birthday gift. She
didn’t think the 14’W x 20’L room was large enough to
accommodate the idea. By using the art of Trompe L’Oeil (which
adds depth of perception to visually enlarge what the eye sees),
we created the main tunnel of the mine, taking you deep into the
mine while the side tunnel exit, takes you outside where two
miners are panning for gold.
The gold mine environment is so realistic that when you touch
the walls it feels just like you're underground in a real gold
mine. Naturally you can’t have a gold mine without a vein of
gold so we added one on the right side wall as you enter and
accented it with fiber optic lighting. The support timbers are
hand hewn and stained to look aged like they came out of a real
mine. The whole theatre is Crestron driven. One touch on the
keypad and the lights dim, the screen comes down from its hiding
place behind the overhead beam, and the movie begins. What was
once a media room is now a state of the art theatre? Sit back
and enjoy the show!

This is just an example of what
can be done to fulfill any fantasy environment you'd like to
have in your house. We can create any environment you can dream
of.
