In Wall Entertainment Media Center with lighting & Hiding wires (Living Room)
Project #2 (status: in progress) - Photos Updated April 26, 2006

Previous project: Art Niche upgrade (in-wall platforms with lighting for living_room)

Ever since I got the plasma screen, the media boxes required for audio and video with all the wires interconnecting were driving me crazy!

So I decided to custom build an in-wall unit that would fit all these media boxes, help hide wires and more! The unit (which is made up of 4 smaller wood boxes) takes up some of the cupboard room in the kitchen on the opposite side of the living room. This is to accommodate the sub woofer which is in one of the boxes that are getting inserted.

Speakers for the Bose sound system are also getting their in-wall placement as you will see by the photos.

I also added lighting in these box units to make them more appealing. Enjoy!
