IMAGINARIUM

As inviting as a traditional family room , but updated to contemporary uses , multi-purpose rooms are the heart of imagination in today ’ s prestige family homes .
Far from the old-school home theatres built in basements by audiophiles or family rooms that doubled as toy room and home office , these spaces are eloquent expressions of possibility .
A liquid propane ribbon fireplace grabs attention in a deceptively simple design for a family room . The fireplace surround , made from a quartz solid surface material , is matched at top with a custom lacquer . Behind the cabinets , made from on-trend , zero sheen finished quarter cut walnut , is storage for audio visual equipment .
Designed with multiple purposes in mind – from a communal place to share ideas or a purpose-built media room , to elegant combinations of den and man cave – they uniformly have one function : to create unique spaces where imagination and comfort exist together . >>
