Best Home Cinema Finalist

Basement Luxury Cinema

This basement space was originally a casual TV and playroom. The homeowner wanted something far more ambitious. Having experienced a high-end Dolby Atmos cinema abroad, he set out to create a private theatre that delivered the same sense of scale, impact, and excitement, all within the limits of a UK basement.

Finite Solutions delivered a turnkey cinema experience designed to feel like stepping into a commercial movie theatre, but with the comfort and intimacy of home. From the moment you enter, the room feels deliberate and immersive, with tiered seating, dramatic lighting, and a screen that fills your field of view. Every decision balances performance, comfort, and the client’s desire for a bold, unforgettable cinema experience.

Design Challenges and Smart Fixes

The client wanted the largest possible screen in a limited space

Finite Solutions designed the room around a 4-meter-wide screen, carefully adjusting seating distances and riser heights to preserve viewing comfort.

Seating layouts were defined before AV design began

Tiering heights were reworked to maintain clear sightlines while keeping the theatrical walkway the client wanted.

The client wanted as many speakers as possible

The room was engineered to support a high-channel Dolby Atmos layout, with all speakers hidden behind fabric walls and ceilings.

Space constraints limited ideal speaker placement

Custom wall depths and precise angling allowed speakers to perform correctly without changing the room’s proportions.

Standout Features

Immersive Visual Experience: A 4-meter acoustically transparent screen paired with a high-end JVC projector creates a large, engaging image for films and sports alike.

Reference-level Dolby Atmos Sound: A full Wisdom Audio speaker system surrounds the audience with clear dialogue, precise effects, and powerful bass.

Precision Processing and Calibration: Trinnov processing ensures the system is tuned specifically for the room, delivering a cohesive and enveloping soundstage.

Acoustic Design: Fabric walls, acoustic plasterboard, and hidden speaker enclosures create a controlled sound environment without visible technology.

Scene-Based Lighting: Integrated Lutron lighting scenes guide the transition from entry to seating to playback, reinforcing the cinema experience.
