The Star Destroyer of Home Theaters - Best Home Cinema finalist, Americas, 2023

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.”

The judges commended Atlanta Home Theater on the home cinema saying, “The room looks amazing, very creative project” and “the integration of what the client wanted with existing conditions is phenomenal!”

Outside of the room, the hallway leading to the theatre provides an immersive experience as though walking through a corridor of the Death Star. The hallway includes a specific themed lighting experience and audio track.

An unusual, and rather exceptional part of this project is that the equipment rack is incorporated into the design. Rather than hiding the rack, Atlanta Home Theater cleverly built it into the wall and used themed lighting to seamlessly blend technology and design. According to the integrator, the project results “left everyone happy” – both the sound quality and design.

One judge sums up the project well: “The outcome of this project is fabulous!”
