Avery’s Room: Growing Into Sound

Avery’s room was designed as more than a child’s bedroom—it is a space intended to evolve with him. Though only three years old at the time of creation, the design anticipates his growth, both physically and creatively. Music, a central force in his father’s life, became the conceptual foundation for the room, shaping an environment that reflects both legacy and possibility.

The back wall serves as a dynamic focal point. Constructed as a removable panel, it features embossed wallpaper that was whitewashed to soften the texture while maintaining depth. Behind the bed, a custom graffiti mural—painted by hand—draws directly from the room’s color palette and Avery’s bedspread, grounding the space in a cohesive visual language.

The bed itself becomes an interactive centerpiece through integrated LED lighting that responds to sound. The lights pulse and shift in rhythm with the music, transforming the bed into a sensory experience and reinforcing the room’s immersive, music-driven concept.

 

 

Upon entering the room, the viewer is immediately met with an album-inspired sculptural installation designed to create an explosion of energy. This element begins on the wall, extends into the window, and continues upward onto the ceiling, transforming the architecture into a continuous, immersive composition.

Material and surface treatments throughout the room were carefully considered to balance visual intensity. The dresser top, for example, was reworked using predominantly black-and-white imagery with restrained use of color, intentionally minimizing competition with the blacklight poster above. It was then sealed with an epoxy pour, providing a durable, high-gloss finish. This approach was echoed in other elements throughout the room, helping to establish a clear visual hierarchy while maintaining cohesion.
