Nautilus-themed steampunk home theatre
The Nautilus is an incredible and ambitious steampunk home theatre setup that is themed like the galley of Captain Nemo's ship in Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. It was built by designers who'd worked on Tokyo Disneyland (the Disney Sea park at TDL is easily the most beautiful human-constructed environment I've ever been to), and is a 900-square-foot, football-shaped room lined with portholes and artificially rusted struts.

The theater is located above the new garage addition. Malone handled the original sketches, which were approved by the Morans without question. During the design stage of the home theater, Malone refrained from watching the Disney film. “The idea of a Victorian submarine presents such a broad palette of ideas and it’s fun to experiment,” he says. “I didn’t want imagery from the movie to find its way into the theater.” Still, he admits that he couldn’t help but be influenced by his childhood memories of Harper Goff’s imaginative vision for the movie’s mysterious submarine.

That is just gorgeous..

Want.
x2, omg.
Why would you want rusted metal work? It should be painted, or made from something that doesn't rust.
Here are some other crazy theaters

@Seyo (#1), you mean seasick with envy, right?
That carpet is Art Nouveau awesome!
...You know, I'm really not into all the current steampunk fad/craze/whatever, nor am I big on the home theaters simply because I prefer a Laz-E-Boy over those theater seats. But this is a clear exception! It's fracking gorgeous beyond belief, and the only thing about it that raises a red flag is how those ornamental columns resonate low-freq sounds from the sound system when the sound is realy cranked loud.
...This guy deserves whatever kudos he gets. It's a really beautiful work of decor!
Want!
not enough brasswork
For all that money, I would think that he would have come up with a seating arrangement in which people don't have to fight for armrests.
"Steampunk" was over before it began. Let it die in peace.
Reminds me of a thing they used to have at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago as part of the coal mine exhibit... I can't for the life of me remember what it was called, but it was a small theatre, and the outside looked like a victorian ship that would drill into the earth. Inside, it would move around while you watched a video about traveling to the center of the earth. It was really neat! Unfortunately, I think it's gone now.
