Maids Moreton Hall—Buckingham

As the winner of a “Healthcare Design Award”, Maids Moreton Hall a 60 bedroom care home required a Cinema and multi-room music system in keeping with the luxury finish found throughout the property.

As with all commercial projects the number of people using the equipment was one of the main considerations. For this reason the most intuitive touchscreen keypads and cinema controls were selected.

Our involvement

• Total system design
• Cable run out schedules and CAD designs
• Managing and overseeing the first fix works
• Second fix installation and equipment supply
• System programming and commissioning
• Supply of Cyberhomes operating system manuals
• After-sales training and support

The building process

The original hall was carefully restored to its former beauty with a state-of-the-art extension to house all the residents’ accommodation.

Prior to commencement the original extension was demolished and the hall stripped right back to the brickwork.

Cyberhomes were introduced to the project during the first fix phase but were able to incorporate the existing cable infrastructure into their system design.

Drawings were produced for the Building Contractor and Electrician and second-fix installation, programming and commissioning were carried out by the Cyberhomes team.

Key elements

• Multi-room music system
• Home Cinema Room
• Audio/Visual distribution

Home Cinema

Cyberhomes were asked to design and install a Cinema system in the existing building. A systematic process was followed to select the HD Projector, Projection Screen and 5.1 Surround Sound system which took into consideration a number of client and room requirements. The selected equipment ensured the best possible audio and visual performance for the budget.

As with the multi-room audio system due to the amount of potential users which include residents, staff and guests the Cinema room had to be very reliable and extremely easy to operate.

A Control4 room controller was selected to integrate the cinema equipment including the projector, home cinema amplifier, Blu-ray player and Sky receiver. In addition to a Control4 hand-held remote control which was programmed to operate all of the equipment a Control4 three button in wall keypad was used to automatically turn the “Blu-ray” on, turn “SKY” on, or turn the “Room Off”.
