The client, an AV/IT professional, had already purchased a full Sonance speaker package before engaging Casaplex, so the brief became less about a blank slate and more about designing the right room around family life, prioritising dialog clarity, immersion, and cosy multi-use comfort over pure reference performance.
Casaplex led with a discovery process centered on how the family actually lives, not just what the client initially asked for. That shaped a wider-than-deep single-row layout with a deep sectional and chaise instead of traditional theatre seating, so the room could double as a family hangout space and a quiet reading spot as much as a cinema.
The team used RP22 standards throughout to balance the client's budget priorities, guiding several equipment swaps to hit the family's stated audio priorities within cost constraints.
Architectural beams were built to house the speakers below the ceiling, doubling as visual interest and hidden acoustic treatment.
A custom walnut credenza-style enclosure concealed the subs in plain sight, inspired by the client's own vision board.
Every element was sequenced tightly against the load-bearing wall to preserve both function and RP22 geometry.
Acoustic plenum boxes and rerouted ductwork reduced noise transmission within the existing infrastructure.
