Recently, Cinergy Construction undertook the ambitious task of rebuilding and modernizing Crossway Studio, where the legendary Whitney Houston recorded some of her most famous tracks.
Melissa Rosell, Director of Operations, is grateful for Cinergy’s belief in her and in her vision. Over her five years with Cinergy, she’s instituted improvements in project workflow and tracking, better avenues of communication both within and outside the company, better feedback loops between process, action, performance, and outcomes, and the company culture as a whole.
Our recording studio project for South Park’s new sound studio—yes, the “South Park” (let the Kenny jokes begin)—turned out to be a creative and collaborative experience in a whole new dimension.
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!
Working from what was originally a garden, we built a writing room; its multiple French doors, vaulted ceiling, and high windows create light and space and an atmosphere of serenity.
Security is a growing concern among homeowners, and one of the best ways to incorporate a safe room into your home is to plan for it at the beginning of a build, not as a retrofit.
Decades before Cinergy Construction built luxury home theaters, CEO Greg Francis’ grandfather Harry Francis managed cinemas in Los Angeles. One of these, Fox West Coast Theatres’ Crest Theatre in Long Beach, was promoted as the first prefab movie palace.
