AN
AUTO-INSPIRED ESCAPE Our client came to Gramophone needing a brand new basement with no idea how to start. Gramophone redid the client’s whole basement from start to finish over six weeks. The final design ended up including a full bathroom, private office, kitchen and media room. Our client, thrilled with the final product, uses the space significantly: an avid music fan, he uses our installed audio systems every day as he works from home in his brand new, Gramophone-designed office.
FEATURES • Five unique zones of audio were programmed for detailed, controllable sound • Fully automated lighting control throughout the space • Bowers & Wilkins and GoldenEar sound • systems feature both in-wall and in-ceiling speakers for a smooth aesthetic

THE DREAMS WE MADE COME TRUE
A
BREATH OF NEW LIFE Our clients came to Gramophone to remodel their space for better use. Along with that they wanted us to integrate custom artwork from San Antonio, 100 year old leaded glass windows, and slot and pachinko machines into the design. With a bit of clever repurposing of the windows into glass cabinets, and masterful rewiring and repair of the pachinko machines, Gramophone was able to breathe new life into a clearly unique space.
FEATURES
• Dolby Atmos and 4K System with in-wall & in-ceiling speakers deliver awesome sound • The theater features a 100 inch screen with a 4K Ultra HD projector and server • System remote and iPad controlled Lutron Lighting control
“I had another friend over to look at the [room]. She remembers how it looked the first time and said you did a fabulous job with the artwork and how it goes completely with everything... Just love that room. Just love it.”
