Jan 13 2012 Private Sports Barn is awarded prestigious CEDIA Electronic Lifestyles Awards.
AMDG worked closely with Bekins Inc., the most recognized automation and custom integration company in Michigan, in design from an early stage to make this unique private recreational project a real success and featured award recipient. Each installation category for the prestigious CEDIA Electronic Lifestyles Awards is judged by an expert panel comprised of building industry professionals and journalists from the interior design, architectural and AV worlds.

AMDG teamed with electronic systems contractor, Bekins, to design and implement a comfortable and acoustically controlled gaming room in a loft area overlooking an indoor basketball court. With Mike Schaap Builders/Benchmark Wood Studio, Via Design, and WPF Engineering, the project was awarded Best Overall and Silver Technical Design for Media Room.

Also awarded Best Overall and Gold Technical Design for a Hidden Installation, the private recreational building is a model for creatively integrating state-of-the-art technology with design. A generously sized great room discreetly features sophisticated equipment including a 184-inch projection screen, a 65-inch LCD display and shading without compromising the open and clean design of the space by inconspicuously hiding equipment in the ceiling for projection, custom furniture for the TV and window sills for roller shades.
