Recessed in the signature brick slip wall, the 85in Samsung TV sits on a “smooth as silk” Future Automation bracket to be visible from both the lounge and the courtyard too. The Artison Studio soundbar moves with the TV to keep the audio experience directed to the listener. With a Denon AVR in the driving seat for HD audio and video switching from Apple TV content, there are 7 speakers in total integrated in the system. The Velodyne subwoofer was described by the architect as “small, but mighty” in our demonstration!

Maison Compas

Atelier OCTA Architecture-Architecture intérieure

Le patio intérieur comme axe central Au démarrage, une maison atypique : un ensemble d’espaces volumineux, tournés vers l’extérieur : un patio, point central de la maison, et autour duquel tout gravite. C’est ainsi que nous l’avons appelé la Maison Compas. Cette famille nous a consulté au tout début de leur projet d’acquisition, puisque c’est lors de la vente de la maison qu’ils nous ont contacté : nous avons donc pu leur donner le maximum de conseil, une enveloppe budgétaire de travaux, et surtout notre vision des rénovations à effectuer. C’est alors que le charme opéra…

A theatre room can take time and money to perfect, but when done right, it can blow you (and your friends!) away. Technology has never been better, and with the likes of a 3D TV, projector or super-sized TV, surround sound, comfy sofa and recliner chairs, you can easily bring Hollywood into your home. True film fanatics might even install a popcorn machine or fairy floss maker! Add a gaming console that can hook up to the big screen and you have yourself a fully functional media room. If you’re really serious about creating your own home theatre, spend some time researching the right home theatre systems for your needs, as well as speakers, lighting and lounge furniture. Or, seek the help of a Home Theatre Professional for advice on audio visual and home automation.

Do I need a designated room for a home cinema?

If you have space to spare, a separate cinema room can be quite the luxury, but it’s definitely not necessary to enjoy all the benefits of home theatre experience. Most people integrate their home cinema into their living room. So you don’t compromise on style, consider having your TV screen mounted to the wall, or install a projector that can be stowed away when not in use. If in your living room, try to disguise your speakers and any cables. Ceiling-integrated speakers are a great option. Otherwise, in a standalone theatre room, consider making your speakers a feature.

What should I look for in home theatre seating?

Comfort should be front of mind when looking for home theatre seating, so look for options that allow you to sink in, recline and adjust your headrest. For an authentic cinema-going experience, stadium seating is a must. Platforms and stairs, complete with LED step lighting, can mimic tiers. Leather recliner chairs are a top-end choice, or you could opt for several modular sofas and ottomans instead. To cater for those who like to watch, eat and drink at the same time, look for seating that has cup holders, or install a bar area with turnable stools.

What equipment should I add to my media room?

A projector and projector screen will lead to a more dramatic movie experience, but the picture can be slightly blurry if the equipment quality is bad. A high-definition plasma or LCD TV might not be quite as large scale, but will deliver a more crisp, clear image. You can, however, find oversized wall-mounted TVs that match the size of a projector screen – but these do cost a pretty penny. Next, enhance your cinema experience with surround sound to make the movie-goers feel like they’re right in the middle of the action. Home automation can further replicate the real cinema experience. Consider installing lights that automatically dim once the film starts, or LED strip lighting that comes on when a movie is paused. Finish your fit-out with a gaming console so you can use the big screen and comfy seats to battle your friends.
