Dedicated Home Cinema Essex
What was involved?
This property was being completely renovated and part of those works were the creation of garden room with a dedicated home cinema in Essex.
The clients were huge film enthusiasts and wanted a room that provided a truly cinematic viewing experience. To achieve this a Sony 4K projector was specified along with a 3.3m wide 2.40:1 acoustically transparent screen. The audio processing and power amplification was provided by Anthem, the 5.1.4 speaker system was from Paradigm.
One critical design element was the starlight, the client wanted a more immersive cinema experience than traditional starlight ceilings would offer. To achieve this customised fabric panels were created that allowed the starfield to cover the wall and ceiling. Each panel was then side lit with RGBW Linear LED Tape.
One real challenge was the position of the projector. The ideal position was for it to be positioned in a cupboard above the bar area (which is a critical element of any great cinema room!). However the required vertical and horizontal lens shift meant it just wasn’t possible. To resolve the issue a custom housing was manufactured above the door entry into the room.
The whole room is fabric wrapped with acoustically transparent fabric ensuring surround speakers were hidden and suitable absorption & diffusion could be fitted without impacting on the aesthetics of the room.
As mentioned the cinema features a bar creatively hidden away at the back of the room behind 2 fabric wrapped doors. As the client said “Only one thing beats watching a thrilling film in your own Dolby Atmos cinema room and that is watching a thrilling film in your own Dolby Atmos cinema room with a nice glass of champagne in your hand”
