I See The Lights - A Sky Full Of Stars - London

The Atmos height speakers were integrated into a bespoke starfield ceiling with custom LED lighting in the walls and ceiling coffer completing the stunning look of the room.

Our in-house fabrication team constructed a two-tier seating arrangement capable of accommodating six people.

The staircase was cleverly redesigned so you could step down to the front row of seats and up to the rear seating. All this allowed us to achieve a 3.5 m wide screen with motorised side masking to seamlessly change aspect ratio from 2.4:1 to 16:9 depending on the content being viewed.

The screen is acoustically transparent allowing the left, centre and right Artcoustic speakers and the two Artcoustic Spitfire subwoofers to be perfectly located behind the screen.

A bespoke framework was designed and built to house the speakers and screen, lined with acoustic panels for a solution that was both resonant-free and aesthetically pleasing. The remaining surround and rear speakers were also hidden behind stretched-fabric walls to keep them out of sight but certainly not out of hearing.

A Control4 based control system was installed to make the whole cinema room easy to use.

Not only controlling the various video sources (including Kaleidescape movie server, Ultra-HD Blu-Ray player and PS5 games console), projector and audio processors/amplifiers; lighting control was also integrated. This allowed complex functions like “watch movie” and “room off” to be reduced to single-button operation.
