CINEMA

“I feel like everyone is very interested in the story of a room right now. Whereas before [the pandemic], a lot of clients were like, you know, ‘Make it look pretty.’ But now they’re like, ‘What’s the story?’ ”

Night Palm was initially hired by the homeowners to create an Old Hollywood–style glam room and an adjoining bath. It wasn’t long, however, before the husband, an Oscar-winning filmmaker, asked us to redesign the home’s screening room. The existing space was little more than two white walls sandwiched between an oversize stone fireplace and a set of glass doors leading out to the pool. Rather than a purpose-built room dominated by a massive display, the husband desired something altogether more stylish that would function as more than just a spot to watch the latest cuts of his films.
