OCCUPANTS:Norm and Kollett are a middle aged couple who were just recently remarried to one another. They are starting this new chapter of their lives but want to change their extra room/game room into a movie room. Both of them work in aerospace and like a sleek but comfy home. They want a place where they can relax and where their guests can relax too. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS: They have 4 daughters who enjoy inviting people over.
LIFESTYLE: Norm and Kollett have a very busy lifestyle, between work and their daughters they are always out doing something.But just like their daughters they really enjoy having people over and entertaining people.
HOBBIES: They like to be active, but also enjoy unwinding with their girls. They enjoy swimming, working out, watching movies, drinking wine, etc..
SPACE TO BE DESIGNED: Family game room/movie room
ENTERTAINING: They have a large group of friends that they like having over, and also like making new friends by inviting them to their house. They like having superbowl parties, wine nights, movie nights, and just social gatherings with their friends and their friends' kids. They entertain people very frequently.
DAILY ACTIVITIES FOR SPACE: Watching T.V., workout space, hangout room.
FAVORITE COLORS: They like neutral colors, nothing too overwhelming. They like to use light colors to feel comfortable within a space.
ROOM IMPRESSIONS: Comfortable and fun
FAVORITE WOODS: They like light grey toned woods, they like reclaimed wood.
DESIRED STYLE: They want a modern look to a movie room/game room. They want this space to feel open and spacious. But they also want this to be a comfortable space for their family and their guests. They want it to look and feel clean.
ITEMS TO KEEP: Sofa, loveseat.
SCHEDULE: They would like this to be completed by the end of June.
PROBLEM STATEMENT: The main issue in this space is the fireplace on the side wall. This fireplace is very beautiful but it takes up a lot of space making it difficult to work with. There also no restroom in this space for their family to use or their guests. This is something that they would like to add if possible to the space. I think the biggest issue is using the space wisely.They also need help in creating a comfortable space with lots of sitting and lounging room. They want everything in the room to last throughout each of their girls lives in the home. So this needs to be a space for ages ranging from 12-40s or 50s. Something that also might be very good to have within the space is adjustable furniture so that when they’re not having gatherings they can use the space for things they enjoy such as working out.
