MALE SPEAKER: I remember the first time I saw the property.
It was on a weekend.
And we pulled in the driveway, we turned to each other and
immediately said, this is it.
This is going to be home.
I'm Jeff Brousseau and we're here at a place that I call
Cuesta Linda in Vista, California.
We wanted to have a home theater but we didn't want to
have the look of a home theater.
So our concept was to create a home library that with the
push of a button would be transferred into a
state-of-the-art home theater.
There was an awful lot of time spent between Sean, myself,
our general contractor in making, ultimately, the home
theater library function properly.
Most the time, the screen is up and the projector is up and
the feel of a library is the primary feel.
Here on this side, we did built-in cabinetry in
traditional Spanish colonial style in mahogany and put all
of the equipment behind cabinet doors.
So it's completely out of sight.
So here's another example of how we've integrated the video
into the family room.
Through the use of these custom, hand-carved mahogany
cabinetry, we are able to totally disguise the source
when not needed.
In here we've got a hand-painted ceiling.
We wanted to put the audio in the ceiling, but we didn't
want to see the speakers.
If you look here, we were able to find a speaker and a grille
that match the squares that are throughout the pattern.
Because of the fact that it's typically 76 degrees and sunny
here, we spend an awful lot of time out here entertaining or
just as a family.
We wanted to be able to bring the video and audio out to the
pool without making it extremely obvious.
So in this area we have the audio system from the four
Speakercraft speakers.
And then behind this custom
cabinetry, we have the monitor.
So out of sight when you don't want to see it and very
apparent when you do.
In the outside kitchen, we wanted to
have a control system.
From this point we can control all aspects of the house.
We have the house audio, from there there's room control,
volume control, and then our preset party modes.
I can turn on and off all aspects of the pol, the spa,
the jacuzzi.
As technology changes, we will continue to enhance the home
systems and stay with the cutting-edge of technology
relative to audio, video, and its related control system.
