Montauk resident tricks out home theater

This home theater in this waterfront Montauk house was inspired by Radio City Music Hall and the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey," reports Coolhuntereck. "The theater has a series of round arches, which house 600 five-watt dimmer-controlled light bulbs that provide a soft ambient light for when you need to find that elusive remote control," according to the site. "And as in the Music Hall, the lights are positioned to glow away from the viewers -- because we all hate to have lights in our eyes when watching the big screen."

"All of the surfaces in the room are covered in orange felt to help with the acoustics, and seating on the floor has been taken care of by Edelman Leather who custom made the beanbags," the article goes on.

The room was designed by James Biber, a partner at Pentagram Architects. The house recently won an American Architecture Award for distinguished buildings and a citation for design in the AIA New York State Design Awards, Coolhunter reports.
