Mandeville Canyon Theater

---

We didn’t let a 30-feet steel beam on the ceiling or the asymmetrical shape of the room stand in our way from designing a breathtaking home theater. Instead, we fashioned these obstacles into unique design elements, creating a spectacular, one-of-a-kind ceiling that serves as the room’s focal point.

Design Influences:
17th century Spanish, Moorish gothic

Highlights:

Custom Mudejar ceiling with back-lit leaded glass, 150 hand-painted panels and back-lit leaded glass

Arches on back and side walls framed in wrought iron and hide 28 speakers behind woven horse hair fabric

Custom, hand-woven carpet

Dolby Atmos audio system

Digital Cinema, 4K DLP video projection system

16-foot-wide screen with automated masking
