Before & After

Z92 2232 Z92 2232

Summary

This client had an odd space adjacent to a games area that wasn’t really used in their home, so it became the perfect opportunity to create a home cinema room. We built this compact space into an elegant, functional and intimate home theatre experience. The result is a sophisticated cinema room featuring custom red wainscotting, a star ceiling, and custom seating to deliver a theatre-grade performance in a perfectly proportioned space.

Project Highlights

DSC 9196b

The 105″ Helsyn screen is purpose-built for intimate cinema spaces. Its acoustically transparent weave allows your front speakers to deliver crystal-clear, uncolored sound through the fabric – with zero reflections or distortion. In a compact room like this, that clarity makes all the difference to dialogue quality and overall sound quality.

Red and gold wainscotting & acoustic treatment

DSC 9185b

The wainscotting – decorative wall panels – create an elegant feel. When combined with full acoustic treatment throughout, the result is controlled, precise audio that feels cinematic without interference from the room. Dialogue cuts through cleanly, and bass sits tight – no boomy highs, no muddy lows.

Star ceiling for that special atmosphere

DSC 9277 Pano

Manhattan star ceiling panels use fibre optic lighting to map realistic constellations overhead. It transforms the entire atmosphere – subtle enough not to distract during viewing, but impactful enough to elevate the space into something genuinely special.

Tiered seating in a compact layout

DSC 9257

Five premium Manhattan Brooklyn Pro seats arranged in tiered rows (3 rear, 2 front) maximise sightlines and comfort in the available space. Every seat has a premium view without the sprawl of a larger installation.
