2022 Sonance Designed to Disappear Award Winner

The 2022 Sonance Designed to Disappear Award Winner – Swedish Country Home!

This is a project that won’t soon be forgotten. The collaboration of the entire team; the Architects, builder, designer & homeowners along with the Admit One Home Systems team ensured the success. The client’s desire was to build a classic Swedish Country dream home but with all the modern luxuries of today.

Beautiful tongue & groove wood on the ceiling in a few rooms could have easily been ruined with big, ugly speaker grilles. As a solution to that, AS38RS discreet architectural speakers were used and lined perfectly up with the lighting so they were barely noticed. In the hearth room, 4 AS38RS along with a 10” in wall subwoofer hidden beside the sofa were used for dedicated music listening. For TV watching in the same room, 2 IS6 Invisible Speakers were the ultimate designed to disappear solution.

The Living Room was another room with some challenges. The vaulted ceilings are 23′ high with detailed beams running across. 4 IS8s were hidden in the walls which fill the room with sound and you have no clue where it’s coming from.

The dining room is a special place in this home. It is in the center of the home and painted dark making it feel even more luxurious and yet comfortable and warm. The ceiling is a curved tray ceiling. Again, being a space we didn’t want to distract from, a pair of IS6s were placed in the ceiling. We even hid a pair IS6s between the Powder Room & Foyer to keep the ambient music flowing throughout.
