It began with a showroom visit. The client and his wife watched an Imagine Dragons concert in Blackroom's demonstration cinema and were hooked by the sound all around them and the size of the 4K picture.
The room, on the third floor of a corner townhouse, is bright with high ceilings and tall windows, and it connects two working offices. This made achieving a quiet space essential. A heavy 160 kg acoustic door and a full sound-isolation shell keeps the sound inside, and motorized blackout curtains mean it works for a film at any time of day.
The room was designed around how the family uses it, whether that’s films, streaming, their own media library or gaming. The 160-inch screen is fed by a projector hidden in a built-in unit at the back of the room, and every speaker is out of sight, behind the screen, fabric panels and ceiling tiles. The couple’s light, neutral interior stayed as planned, and the cinema blends into it.
The result is a room that regularly impresses the owner and his guests, controlled from one simple iPad screen or the keypads by the door.
The design worked entirely within the existing floor plan, integrating all AV elements into furniture-consistent construction rather than requiring structural changes.
Motorized blackout curtains were installed on both windows, eliminating all light ingress and enabling use at any time of day.
A custom 2.4-meter, 160 kg acoustic door was specified and installed, verified in practice to prevent any noise complaints.
A custom-engineered, fully ventilated vertical hush box was built into the rear wall furniture, housing the projector in a vertical orientation with a precision 45-degree fold mirror, solving the throw distance issue while eliminating fan noise from the room.
