Kind of a thrill seeing our dual-use custom theater/golf simulator featured in real estate listings for Chris Pratt and wife Katherine Schwarzenegger’s Pacific Palisades home, which they’ve put up for sale. We wonder who’ll be teeing off next in our theater?
David Leyva is a family man, and his commitment to others and to working together for a common goal translates over to his role as Head of Production at Cinergy Construction.
Our specialized expertise really came into play on this project: a dual-backdrop design, under-floor wiring, custom in-house millwork, new wall and door, relocated stairs, a movable wall section that housed a monitor, maximum noise isolation, quality film lighting, and a secret door integrated into the wall for storage.
It was a challenge and a delight converting this empty room into a fully soundproofed and outfitted podcast studio for the Braille Institute in Los Angeles. See their note of gratitude in “Happy Clients” on our front page!

Acoustics is an often-misunderstood discipline because it isn’t just one thing; proper acoustic architectural design involves sound isolation, noise abatement, reverberation damping, acoustic enhancement, and more.
