  • Home Cinema

The family came to us with the following criteria to work within the space available;

  • A high performing Dolby Atmos dedicated cinema room
  • The ability to switch between wide screen (16:9) and ultra-widescreen (235:1) aspect ratios
  • A reduction in noise transmission
  • 2 rows of seating, with daybeds in the front row, and a raised tier for the rear row of seating
  • Subtle but effective lighting with different mood settings

Following some initial demonstrations of different cinema systems and rooms, a clear specification was developed based on what the client experienced. 

Due to the limitated space available, all measurements and calculations were critical to allow for the largest projector screen size possible, additional build up of acoustic matting, raised rear seating, and space available for the bar area. To ensure the equipment was installed as sympathetically as possible, the projector was housed in the rear bar at high level, along with the surround back speakers, with the apertures for the speakers covered black fabric using our tracking system.
