Butler Harwell Creates a Seamless AV Experience in a Luxury Huf Haus
Congratulations to Tom and the Butler Harwell team for delivering an exceptional AV installation in a stunning Huf Haus, our latest Installation of the Month.
The project was a true collaboration, with Butler Harwell working alongside Ad-Myra, who created the initial interior design concept, and Cinema Luxe, who helped refine and execute the vision. The client wanted a high-performance audio system that seamlessly integrated into the home’s modern, minimalist aesthetic, without disrupting the carefully curated design.
Project by: Butler Harwell
Huf Haus properties are known for their sleek architectural design, featuring expansive glass walls and concrete construction—which pose significant acoustic challenges. The solution needed to deliver immersive surround sound while maintaining a discreet, tailored appearance in line with the property’s aesthetic.
To overcome the acoustic and design constraints, Butler Harwell specified a custom 5.1 surround sound system featuring Artcoustic speakers for their unrivaled clarity, form factor, and ability to blend seamlessly into the space.
A bespoke-width SL HSPL Soundbar was created to match the exact width of the TV, ensuring a sleek and unobtrusive finish.
Two Sub 2 subwoofers were discreetly integrated into the joinery, providing deep and balanced bass without visual intrusion.
A pair of Evolve 2-1 speakers were mounted on a supporting beam, effectively "hiding in plain sight" while delivering a powerful surround experience.
With Artcoustic’s expert calibration service, the system was fine-tuned to perfection, overcoming the highly reflective surfaces of the home to achieve remarkable sound performance.
Project insights from butler harwell…
"As always, Artcoustic was the perfect fit for a Huf Haus deployment. Their combination of aesthetics, performance, and expert calibration made all the difference in this project. The result is a system that sounds phenomenal while seamlessly integrating into the home’s striking design."
What the client had to say...
"Butler Harwell has been a valued partner throughout our build. We didn’t realize how important an AV specialist would be in the design process, but we wouldn’t have achieved this level of quality without their expertise."
This project stands as a testament to intelligent AV design, expert execution, and the power of collaboration between AV specialists, interior designers, and custom installers. Congratulations again to Butler Harwell on this outstanding achievement! 🎉
