Retrofit project in Winter Park




Congratulations to Blue Star Real Estate in selling this Winter Park home.  And thank you for referring us to design and install the en
tertainment and network electronics!  Built in 2008 by IBK Homes, this home was wired only for basic cable TV and background music.

Storch was recommended to design a high performance media system in the family room with equally good quality sound throughout the house.  We were also tasked with creating with a reliable computer network that would provide back up storage, battery power UPS and a single wireless access point for the 3 story residence.  



Storch coordinated the design of the media cabinet with Cabinetry Creations of Orlando.  Phil Kean Designs is responsible for the design and contracting of the remodel which includes new cabinetry, new doors, interior finishes, etc.

Interiors


When Interiors Winter Park needed to change their computer system, Storch was called in to solve the problem of how to network the point-of-sale server which was to be installed in an out building with no network wiring.  Wireless was the obvious solution, except for the fact that the out building was constructed of corrugated steel.  We solved the problem using a combination of a super high power, Enterprise-class, wireless access point and creative installation of the remote computer's wireless transmitter.

Custom Painted Speaker Grilles



I can't count how often I see either white speaker grilles on painted walls or speaker grilles that have uneven paint or clogged holes.  Thanks to Triad, this is no longer a problem.

Triad now offers custom paint match services that allow us to match any speaker grille to the color of the wall. The best part is that they professionally spray multiple coats of paint on the grilles and then cure them at the factory!

The photos above show a package of a set of grilles we just received.  The project was a retrofit and the client did not have the original paint samples or any reference number (who keeps that?).  We simply sent a few sections of the wall that we cut out for the speakers into Triad's custom match department.

In addition to providing a perfect match to the wall color, Triad also includes a small bottle of the paint for touch up.


Villa Siena Continues



Our work at Villa Siena in Winter Park, see prior post for the original design, continues.  To date, we have completed the video projection and equipment rack in the media room as well as the system for the master suite.  The photos below illustrate our progress.










Current Grand Opening a Success



Current is now open!  The grand opening party, catered by Luma, featured a red carpet with a live interview area as well as a pair of Lamborghinis provided by Ulimate Motor Works.

Our contribution, and I quote the owner, was the "a$% kicking stereo system."  A great time was had by all.
