Nestled within a Northamptonshire period property, our award-winning traditional home cinema seamlessly marries classic aesthetics with cutting-edge audiovisual technology. Recognized as the Best Home Cinema over £50k at the 'Smart Building Awards 2022,' this space offers an unparalleled cinematic experience.
Designed for comfort and visual pleasure, the room boasts two day-beds forming the front row, complemented by a raised rear row of four upright seats. Velvet curtains, controlled by Silent Gliss motor rail, elegantly unveil a 10ft wide 16:9 acoustically transparent projection screen. Balancing dedicated cinema room status with the client's preference for SkyQ and a vast Kaleidescape collection of 16:9 content, the decision to opt for a 16:9 screen maximises screen height for impact and comfort. Video performance reaches the pinnacle of excellence with the Sony VW870 laser projector. This top-of-the-line projector ensures unparalleled clarity, colour accuracy, and contrast, creating a visual spectacle that transcends expectations. To maintain the integrity of every pixel, all video sources are transmitted at full 4:4:4 resolution through an advanced HDMI over fibre kit. This ensures a pristine image quality, showcasing the full spectrum of colours and details with absolute precision.
The heart of the cinema room features an array of three pairs of Artcoustic A6 cinema monitors, expertly angled for optimal sound distribution. Three Artcoustic dual 10” Impact subwoofers provide a bass experience with ample acoustic headroom. Positioned within Dolby reference guidelines, Artcoustic SL8-4s and Architect SL4-2s create a Dolby Atmos 7.3.4 audio system, ensuring an immersive audio journey that captivates every corner of the room.
The Control4 system takes centre stage, offering seamless control through a 10” touchscreen hidden behind a bespoke brass & timber lift-up fascia. Alternatively, the handheld Neeo remote ensures effortless control from the comfort of the plush cinema seats. Our client can access multiple sources using either of these devices; including the Kalidescape movie library, SkyQ or Playstation 5. This system also allows full control of the lutron lighting and surround sound system.
The traditional design palette, characterised by deep red tones, brass fixtures, and bespoke dark wood panelling, sets the stage for a visually stunning ambiance. Custom vinyl illustrations of classic movies, softly illuminated by warm-white LED strips, pay homage to cinematic heritage.
In this Northamptonshire period property, our traditional home cinema not only preserves the charm of classic aesthetics but elevates the cinematic experience to new heights. The synergy of design, technology, and attention to detail culminates in an award-winning space that captivates the senses and invites guests into a world of unparalleled entertainment.
