“Having Ivy Cottage named Best Global Media Room is among the most gratifying moments of my career; the space is one of which I’m immensely proud. My vision for Ivy Cottage was to prove that it’s possible to deliver a truly contemporary, no-compromise sound and vision experience in a space that communicates its heritage and supports day-to-day family life. I hope that the Best Global Media Room award shows how it can be done, and inspires other clients to create their own accessible, inspiring spaces.”
