Clean, sophisticated AV installation for a Bloomfield Hills family room featuring Samsung Frame TV, hidden component back box, Sonos Arc soundbar with Leon Speaker Tone Case enclosure, and Sonos subwoofer.
The Project
When Dane and his family moved from Franklin to their new home in Bloomfield Hills, they had a clear vision for their renovated family room and kitchen space: clean aesthetics above all else. No visible wires, no plastic tech cluttering the walls, no complexity. Just beautiful design with simple, reliable performance.
Working alongside Sculpture Cabinetry on their complete interior renovation, Dane wanted professional AV integration that would disappear into the architecture while delivering excellent sound and picture quality. The goal wasn’t an elaborate smart home system; it was thoughtful simplicity done right.
The Solution: Technology That Disappears
The Sound Vision designed an installation focused on three priorities: aesthetic perfection, simple operation, and room for future expansion.
Display: Samsung Frame TV with Hidden Components
The Samsung Frame TV was the obvious choice, transforming into artwork when not in use and virtually disappearing against the wall with its slim profile. Behind the scenes, all components (Apple TV, cable box, and sources) are completely hidden in a custom back box: an in-wall enclosure that keeps technology out of sight. The result? Just clean wiring and a picture-perfect installation.
Audio: Sonos Arc with Leon Speaker Tone Case
Dane chose the Sonos ecosystem for its simplicity and excellent performance, but didn’t want the typical plastic soundbar look. The Sound Vision partnered with Leon Speaker to integrate their Tone Case, a custom wooden and fabric enclosure that transforms the Sonos Arc into a piece of fine furniture.
The Tone Case mounts below the Frame TV and completely conceals the soundbar’s plastic housing, replacing tech aesthetics with warm wood and premium fabric that matches the room’s interior design. Paired with a Sonos subwoofer for deep, rich bass, the system delivers immersive sound while maintaining the clean, sophisticated look Dane envisioned.
Simple Control, Future Ready
The Sonos app provides intuitive control for the entire audio system. No complicated programming, no learning curve; just straightforward operation that anyone in the family can use. And because Sonos is expandable, adding audio to other rooms in the future is seamless whenever Dane is ready.
Professional Installation & Collaboration
The Sound Vision has worked with Dane’s family through their move from Franklin to Bloomfield Hills, maintaining a trusted relationship over years. On this project, coordination with Sculpture Cabinetry ensured the AV installation integrated perfectly with the interior renovation.
The back box infrastructure was planned during construction, allowing for completely concealed components and clean cable management. The Lyons Speaker Tone Case was custom-specified to match the room’s aesthetic, creating a cohesive look where technology enhances rather than detracts from the design.
The Results
Today, Dane’s family room is exactly what they envisioned: a beautiful, functional space where technology serves the design rather than dominating it. The Frame TV displays art when the family isn’t watching, the Sonos system fills the room with excellent sound, and the Leon Speaker Tone Case ensures everything looks like intentional furniture rather than consumer electronics.
For families who value aesthetics and simplicity, this approach proves you don’t need an elaborate smart home system to achieve professional results. Sometimes the most sophisticated solution is the one that disappears completely.
