Electronic House posted pictures this morning of a luxury home theater install performed as a collaboration between Carmel, Indiana based Tri-Phase Technologies and an unnamed interior designer for a family basement. Despite some technical challenges, the installer and designer worked together to create a theater that is, in our opinion, extremely functional and luxurious at the same time. The Tri-Phase installed system is mid-priced, but more importantly low-tech and easy to operate. And the theater’s recessed, rounded central couch makes watching a movie more of a group activity than would rows of individual theater chairs. Along the back wall, the design team worked to integrate a bar counter in view of the theater screen, as well as a nearby concession room, where family members and guests can go to select their own snacks. We’re a fan of the installer and designer’s smart design, which should serve as a good model for future functional family theaters. Follow the jump for two more images.
