Creating the Futuristic Home Cinema Experience
Designed for acoustic perfection and to be visually stunning before the projector even powers up…
Built to rival and exceed the finest cinema experience, the clients wish list included the biggest cinematic screen and the best audio optimised for the six family members seating positions.
Starting with an empty shell, Cyberhomes designed this award-winning cinema room to combine quality immersive sound, the finest video available and that extra Cyberhomes magic. The result is a comfortable and relaxing environment with striking interior design—in total contrast to the grey stretched fabric rooms often specified.

Interior design
We proposed several design concepts with the client choosing a rich, futuristic lookand-feel to the room.
It was important that acoustic treatments were integrated which addressed first order reflections and room mode issues to ensure optimum audio performance. While there are curves and angles at every turn, the use of three-dimensional acoustic panels and bespoke visual features built to ensure the room remains balanced and symmetrical.
The Services Provided
Computer modelling of the design allowed us to accurately predict its acoustic
performance in order to determine the optimal speaker, screen and seating positions; complying with the design and performance guidelines from CEDIA, Dolby and SMPTE.
Numerous LED lighting circuits enhance the structures emphasising the depth in the walls and ceiling through careful consideration of light and shadows.
Fabrics, colours, textures and upholsteryall working in harmony to create an exciting environment which doesn’t detract from the movie experience once the lights go down.
A Sony 4K laser projector produces a vibrant and detailed image onto the 2.40:1 3.5 m wide projection screen, which has motorised side masking to change the aspect ratio of the screen according to the content being viewed.
A Kaleidescape 4K movie server provides fast and easy access to the homeowner’s library of Ultra HD movies without the compression compromises associated with streaming services.
As with all our luxury cinema projects, the projector was calibrated to ISF standard to ensure accurate colour reproduction for each video source.
Dolby Atmos ® is now the de facto standard for most premium home cinema homes and for this installation Cyberhomes specified a 7.1.4 speaker array. This layout ensures no compromise in audio whichever seating position you choose. Bi-polar surround speakers ensure a wide dispersion sound across the back of the room.
Atmos decoding is handled by an Anthem processor, and ARC room correction fine tunes the finished room acoustics to perfection. Triad speakers ensure reference level performance from the Anthem MCA series of amplification.
Four in-wall Triad sub-woofers ensure plenty of bass thump, but for that truly earth shattering feel to big action movies we also installed D-Box motion actuators to the seating. You really do become part of the action.
Cyberhomes were installing a Savant Pro control and automation system for the rest of the house, so it was the natural choice to extend this to provide easy control of the cinema room. Bespoke programming allows simple lighting scene changes, automatic screen aspect ratio changes and safe shut down of the projector to cool it sufficiently after use.
With Lutron lighting control throughout the home, a Lutron wallplate by the cinema door allows quick and easy startup and shut down of the cinema.
Equipment Rack
The stunning basement garage suite proved the perfect location to house the cinema room equipment; a dedicated equipment rack for the cinema is located in the plant room alongside the racks accommodating the AV equipment for the whole house system.
The dedicated AV racks being in the basement plant room keep equipment out of the living spaces.
A clean power supply safeguards the processor and power amplifiers allowing them to deliver maximum dynamic performance day-in day-out.
Project Recognition
This project is featured as a ‘Dream Theatre’ in issue 312 of Home Cinema Choice magazine. It was also the winner of the 2020 CEDIA Award for Best Home Cinema Level II.

"We could not fault Cyberhomes. When they came up with their 3D design of what our cinema room could be we never expected them to deliver the finished product exactly like the concept. We never expected the cinema room to be as good as it is and its become the show piece of the entire property, an exceptional thanks to Cyberhomes."
