Basement Cinema in home extension

This Cinema Room was designed to go into a Basement that was dug as part of a house extension. When we first went there it was just a hole in the ground, however with a bit of careful planning our customer has turned it into a superbly comfortable and enjoyable cinema space.

Two rows of seats, provide comfortable viewing, and a bar at the back of the room creates space for the equipment and additional character to the room.

The image is provided by a Sony VPL-VW550ES projector with an 11′ wide Acoustic Cinemascope screen. front and surround speakers are all DALI Opticon LCR on-wall speakers, with Atlantic Technology IC6-OBA providing overhead 3D audio in-ceiling. The Grunt at the bottom end is amply provided by a  pair of DALI Sub K-14F subwoofers.

 

 

Some careful modelling was the start point for this project, however the space at the back of the room was better utilised by going fully to floor level, and installing a bar at the back.

The space has proved very popular in the family, with sources from Sky and 4K Blu-Ray as the primary viewing, however with the capability to add in connections from a local Laptop, Game console, Media Player etc. – up to a total of 7 sources.

Amplification from Anthem provides Dolby Atmos 7.4.2 audio, and matching speakers all-round means there is a particularly even 3D soundstage.

 

We were excited by the results of this project, and very pleased at how delighted our customer is.
