<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">We are proud to announce that our home design, Hasserton, was awarded silver for technological design in <a href="http://www.cedia.net/connect/cedia-programs/electronic-lifestyles-mag-">Electronic Lifestyle Magazine's</a> Design Awards. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The goal for this design was to maintain high-style in the media room, consistent with the contemporary home, and to integrate top of the line electronic systems from <a href="http://bekins.us/">Bekins</a>. Being the focal point of the room, the tiled medial wall presented a challenge of blending the speakers and having a low profile television that did not detract from the overall design of the home. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Some of the major features of this room are in-wall and in-ceiling speakers along with an in-wall subwoofer. Interested?
