Tarrytown Golf Simulator Theater

The Project

This one is a building of its own. The pavilion sits behind the main house in Tarrytown, separated from it by the pool, and it was rebuilt from the ground up: what used to be a garage is now a caterer's kitchen and prep area, and the finished building carries tall ceilings, white walls, and flooring that runs its full length. Everything downstream of that starts at a 42 inch rack in a dedicated closet off the kitchen side, which holds the whole-house audio equipment, the network gear, and the video sources feeding every display in the building. An outdoor access point closes the gap outside, so coverage stays seamless across the main house, the pavilion, and the ground in between.

The main section faces the pool: a great room with a kitchen at one end and a bar at the other, seating in between. The bar carries a large display that can show the same program as the rest of the building or run its own, and every screen in the pavilion works the same way. Ceiling speakers put whole-house audio in the billiard room, where the displays are nested into the wall. The covered patio has an outdoor kitchen and a large fireplace with a TV hidden above it.

The multipurpose media room is closer to a full home theater than a media room. Its own rack hides in the cabinetry and drives both jobs off one screen: a full golf simulator, and theater gear for the nights the group would rather watch something. The surround speakers are tucked out of sight and still deliver a full 7.1 experience. A dedicated control panel sits inset in the side wall alongside the swing analytics camera, and a second camera directly overhead at the tee box reads the swing from above, so the metrics account for the motion from every angle. Raised tiered seating finishes the room, which is how everyone in it ends up with the best seat in the house.

Lutron controls every light fixture in the building, through keypads placed where people actually stop and programmed to scenes that include one button for all on and one for all off. Setting the stage for an evening takes a single press.
