I don’t think this is how I’d design a LAN party house. I think a large round table with monitors is a more social setup, and creates equal importance amongst all the people sitting around it. There would be space in the middle section of table behind the monitors for people to connect their own rigs or setup one of the house rigs. With the right circumference, you could see up to 4 other people from any specific seating position.
I would also make the use of projectors to project live streams for different players in more social oriented areas of the house, where placing a TV would be impractical.
Pretty cool though that a LAN party house exists at all.
- kentonv 3y agoSounds like your design would require a much larger space than I had. The whole house was 1426 sqft, including two bedrooms and bathrooms (not shown in the photos). Having the stations fold into the walls kept space available for normal living when not having a party. That said I actually think a round table design would be less social. With monitors along the walls, you can easily turn around to socialize between games with nothing blocking you from seeing other people. With the table and monitors in the middle, I think monitors would block people from socializing across the table. We'll see though, the new house actually features both designs in different rooms... :)
- xwdv 3y agoThat’s not fair. If a person sitting at a wall can turn around to socialize, then I propose people sitting at a round table can just stand up and talk to each other in a circle.

- hgsgm 3y agoWow, the photo makes the house look much bigger.
