This cinema was designed as a dual purpose room, the clients' son was a member of a band therefore the room was designed and acoustically treated to allow it to function both as a great family cinema room and as a rehearsal room for the clients son’s band.

The cinema converted from a stone built outbuilding was designed to ensure the viewing and listening angles were optimised for the seating area. The speaker array features Genelec 208B active monitors. These were built into an acoustically designed front wall packed with acoustic foam. The acoustic design combined with the solidity of the building gives very high levels of performance. 

The finished front audio wall was then covered with an acoustically transparent stretched fabric ahead of artwork being hung on the wall.

Lighting control is via Rako and the whole room (and the external lighting leading back to the main house) are controlled by a single RTI T2C

This project shows any sized room or building whether it is a garage, outbuilding or barn can make a fabulous Home Cinema.
