Grain Valley Build.
This one started as an add-on to a new-construction finish job. Dwayne had already been hired for the carpentry throughout the house — finish work, Murphy doors, a custom bed frame, custom wood ceilings — when the family pointed to a large room the home had been built with, set aside as a play room and multi-use space. It was the right size and shape to drop a golf simulator into without giving up the room, so we did both: the finish work upstairs and a bay downstairs.
The goal was a simulator that disappeared into the room instead of taking it over. We framed the space so the ceiling pitches down and the floor pitches up toward the screen — which hides the black border of the enclosure completely, so you see the image and not the frame around it. It’s the kind of detail you only get when the people building the room are carpenters first.
Then the finish: we handmade every wall pad to match the room’s existing color so the bay reads as part of the space, and wrapped the hitting area in its own LED lighting. That way the room can go dark enough for a crisp, clear screen while there’s still clean light over the ball at address. The result is a family multi-use room that’s still exactly that — with a simulator built so cleanly into it that it looks like the house was designed around it.
