This is NOT your father's Death Star theater... unless, of course, you happen to be Luke Skywalker. DillonWorks in Mukilteo, WA near Seattle fabricated this custom home theater with automatic doors and twinkling star fields.
2.
CHIANG! - The owners of this residence commissioned Doug Chiang who produced the original concepts for the theater. Who better than a Star Wars designer to design a theater based on the Death Star?
3.
When we first arrived on the jobsite, this room was a drywall box. We installed all of the surfaces as components pre-built in our shop including sound panels we designed for the desired acoustical effect.
4.
The lobby has a raised floor and lowered ceiling to resemble the gangplanks in the Death Star. We applied mirrors to the floor and ceiling which reflect the walls so they appear to go on forever.
5.
Another feature is the automatic pocket doors leading into the theater. Our clients wanted the doors to operate quietly, because doors that go psssshhhhh when they open are from Star Trek, not Star Wars. Did you hear that? No? Mission accomplished!

14.
The Evergreen Ultimate Theater is another Star Trek-themed media room. The client wanted to combine tasteful and highly detailed Enterprise architectureincluding motorized sliding doors and intelligent concert-type lightingwith speakers that can blow the roof off.
