The Star Destroyer of Home Theaters

This intricately themed theatre shows that form and function can work together. The client requested Atlanta Home Theater install a high-performance theatre with a Star Wars theme. The theme was of utmost importance to the client despite concerns that traditional theatre design quality might not be possible. Happily, the integrator says, “The many nooks and crevices of the themed design led to the entire room being a diffuser, which allowed the room to have a more balanced sound than anticipated.”

Beyond Reproach

La Scala aimed for perfection in this large home integration project with truly amazing results. From day one there were challenges, such as having to place the wiring panels and equipment rack in two separate locations due to space constraints. It helped that the integrator “supplied nearly every system on the property” minus the pipes in the wall and the boiler. This allowed them to be flexible during the installation, make changes as needed, and better control equipment procurement.
