in the kitchen floor were cut to fit against the curve of the dome wall.

we definitely recommend was a central wiring closet. All telephone, satellite
tv, and computer network cables were routed to this closet and the signals
distributed from that point. After we moved in, the wiring closet housed the
server which runs our home computer network. Because we planned the central
wiring closet from the beginning of contstruction, it was easy to supply the
closet with plenty of electrical outlets on enough separate circuits to handle
any likely electrical demand with capacity to spare. All data wiring including
phone lines was located in conduit inside the walls for easy re-wiring when
new and better technology becomes standard.
(below right) The location of the wiring closet allowed it to also house the home theater system. The large open space behind the various components not only gives good air flow around the components, but makes it much easier to get at plugs and wiring on the back of the equipment. |
