Slide show of Beverly Hills

Watch this slide show of the Beverly Hills project.  You wont believe the before and after photos!

Beverly Hills Project gets the green light!

"Where the land meets the sea" and "High fashion/Pussy Cat Doll" themed rooms get the green light and will commence this June!  If you enjoyed the Tsunami room on the show....well you will be blown away by these two rooms.  Beds bolted to the walls, massive cargo nets connecting the two, huge river murals that appear as if they actually enter the room, and flow out and into other parts of the home, life like boulder pillows, a bridge that can be flipped over as rocking horse for four people, ten foot angel wings, chandeliers from France, floor to ceiling mirrors and custom features through out!  Epic Spaces can not wait to commence on this project, HGTV has expressed some interest in covering the ordeal and will definitely be one for the record books!   

Epic In Style

Pick up this months "In Style Home" magazine and find Epic Spaces very own Todd Davis contributing again to this very popular issue...basically due to the fact that Molly Sims is on the cover.  Just Kidding.  Design tips, photos and interior lighting options with the help from Mr.Davis.  (Three page spread)

Hollywood and Beverly Hills

I just returned from Hollywood and Beverly Hills.. Epic Spaces delivered a fun interactive room with a barrage of digital projection to a new and excited family..the "Victor" residence. 
The Victor residence will be getting two new rooms for there three children.  The overall idea in the twin boys rooms is "Where the Land meets the Sea"..these lucky 12 year olds will be receiving a complete makeover where there beds will be up in the air separated as much as possible, yet connected with large cargo play net.  Fastened to the walls, they will be able to lounge within the netting with many friends and be able to climb out onto a bridge that allows them to cross a river under the netting.  (The bridge can be set on its side for more seating, or turned upside down for a rocking chair, for two!)  The river appears to flow out of the wall and run through the room by the means of a mural. The river will be filled with realistic stone pillows made in France, and will again allow for numerous friends to relax, get some homework done and just hang out in style.  The desks will be under the beds with plenty of spot lighting throughout the room.  Once we leave the river and step down and into the "sea", the entire mood changes to life out at sea.  A 10 ft long squid replica will hang from the beds, ceilings and walls(made from Todd's custom sewing workshop), huge shark jaws, anemone light boxes, 17th century pictures of ships being dragged down to the sea floor from mythological sea creatures and a large digital video projector slide show. The show will, when running... will take the boys to places they have been to over the years and places they want to see in and around this amazing world of ours, engulfing the children in an environment of positive and uplifting visuals to grow with and change for the better all year long. 
Here are a few sketches, presented to the family over the weekend that we all loved and will see brought to life, possibly in another show coming up?!

Here we go again..Now comes the girl room in the theme of high fashion, Pussy Cat Dolls and dance studio meets study lounge.

More to come, when it's the ladies turn to be entertained and comforted.

Tips for tea.

Ideas to ponder when considering a design for your next Epic Space.

• Design for yourself, not to just blow others away when they come over for tea every six months. The intent of your design should be to please those of you who live in the space 24/7.
• Create interaction and anticipation by providing more than just a functional room. Create a sense of discovery throughout the room(s) that will continually make people want to walk about and react/ask questions.
• Artwork is very important and can transform /inject/inflict amazing empowering feelings. Use custom artwork that forces one to ponder who owns this space, why are they here and how did they ever think of that?

I 'm heading North.

 

Thanks you guys, see you soon!
