A Prestigious Setting

The project took place within a notable Brookline residence with a unique history. Built in 1936, the house is a significant example of early modernist design, attributed to the renowned architect Hugh Stubbins. This storied setting provided a unique backdrop for creating a state-of-the-art modern amenity.

The Challenge: A Modern Transformation

The core challenge was technical and aesthetic: to transform a 667 SF raw, unfinished basement into a luxurious, acoustically isolated home theater. The design had to overcome a web of exposed utilities—including significant plumbing and ductwork—and solve for the inherent environmental issues of a subterranean space, such as moisture and warmth, to create a high-performance entertainment environment from a blank canvas.Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
