A dedicated room, designed from the inside out. Engineered, treated, calibrated.
At entry-level we work with the room you have. At mid-range we design the room around the cinema: placement first, treatment built in, lighting integrated. The result is a room that performs like a small commercial cinema.
Three common project situations. If one of these matches yours, this tier is the right starting point.
The cinema room is being designed in from the start, alongside a wider refurbishment. An architect is involved. The space sits below ground level or in a converted outbuilding.
Aesthetics and performance equally engineered. The room needs to hold its own against the rest of the house.
A spare bedroom, converted garage or loft becoming a dedicated cinema. The smart home is already running, Control4, Lutron or similar, and the cinema needs to integrate.
Proper laser projection, Atmos overheads, a treated room. The technical step the existing setup can't deliver.
A loft or extension turned into a dedicated entertainment room. Hosts eight to ten people on matchday. Sports first, films second.
Stadium-scale projection, serious bass, tiered recliner seating. Atmos overheads add little, so the money goes into the screen and the sub.
Six components. Designed around the room. Calibrated on handover.
Sonance, M&K, Amina
Acoustically transparent screen optional
Absorption, diffusion, bass traps
Lutron or Loxone
Two rows, tiered where possible
Control4, RTI or Crestron
Starlight ceilings, bespoke designer seating, M&K reference monitors with multiple subs, anamorphic projection. If your project needs any of these, we'll route you to high-performance rather than upsell you.
7.1 audio, 4K projection or a 98 inch display, full treatment, two-row seating.
Where most dedicated rooms land. Laser projection, Atmos-ready.
7.1.4 Atmos, premium projection, comprehensive treatment, integrated control.
Covers system, treatment, lighting, seating, control, installation and calibration. Structural building work typically adds £3K to £15K.
Five technical decisions that separate a great £35K room from an average one.
Centre channel behind the picture, not under it. Dialogue locks to the actor.
Usually two, placed for even bass across both rows. Hardware cost is the small bit.
Absorption plus diffusion. A designed outcome, not more panels.
Throw, screen, ceiling and seating distance pick the projector, not the other way round.
One press. The room responds. Anything more and nobody uses it after month one.
Four to eight weeks on site. Acoustic modelling included.
Commercial-cinema discipline applied to dedicated rooms.
We model bass response before we install.
Never an optional extra. We won't sign a room off without it.
RIBA-stage drawings, structural coordination, agreed finishes.
7.1.4 Dolby Atmos and comprehensive treatment in a converted reception room.
Three honest off-ramps.
Reference audio, starlight ceiling, bespoke seating, anamorphic projection.
No dedicated room. The cinema experience integrated into the living space.
A living-room upgrade rather than a dedicated room.
The fastest way to scope a project is to sit in a dedicated cinema room. Hear the difference. Ask the questions you want answered.
