Te client's family owns a farm in West Virginia, and she wanted wood from the farm to be in her home. Her father sent wood samples and, after deciding on walnut, he milled the wood in various sizes for the curved bar base. Hardwood foors in the media room are 4-in. planks of white oak over plywood. Other woods include pecan bar cabinets and mahogany wine cellar. Tese diferent woods added a warmth to the area. Te terrace level is loved and well used. Our clients say they never want to leave; they are stimulated by the design and comfortable in the space. Tat is the best compliment we could receive. | stone quartzite and brushed pewter countertop. Te top of the bar countertop is for seating and the lower area and back area contain a dishwasher, trash drawer, ice maker and refrigerator. Tall cabinets store glasses and dishware. Te homeowners also asked for an informal media room, but not like a theater. We wanted the television viewing room to relate to the entertainment space so we removed the wall between the rooms and used columns again. Te TV is suspended between the columns. A wine cellar was on their wish list, but space was lim- ited once we took into account a playroom, a nanny/guest suite with bath and closet, a separate powder room for the entertainment space, a new mechanical room and storage space. Not wanting to lose the wine cellar, however, we tucked it into the space under the stairs and extended it back into the new mechanical room. Te cellar is small, but the glass door and windows create the illusion of a much larger space. Our design skills assisted us as we worked around ex- isting problems in creative ways, such as in the wine cellar ceiling. A stair riser was in the wall on the left side and masses of ductwork were on the right side. Te ductwork was leaving the mechanical room and traveling to loca- tions in the terrace level. We handled this by designing a unique ceiling that allows us to cover both these items.
