Transplant Screening Room - Best Home Cinema finalist, Americas, 2023

When a notable Silicon Valley executive called Audio Images requesting a consultation, they initially thought it might be a practical joke. As it turned out, the client had chosen them to construct a reference-quality screening room in their home because they’re a CEDIA award-winning home theatre design and installation integrator.

Building an immaculate theatre experience for a film studio owner and movie producer is no easy task. The project started with the goal of building a system that “outshone any commercial theatre, while also offering superior audio reproduction.” Further, the client likes powerful bass and wanted the room to be optimized for video gaming, not just movies.

To meet the client’s expectations, the integrator worked closely with interior designer Lynda Murray Interior Design and acoustical engineer Anthony Grimani to create a space where form meets function. To provide for the best acoustics, the room is encased in fabric. This creates a clean look that also hides the acoustic treatments and speakers without compromising on sound quality.

Though Audio Images faced many challenges within the space, collaboration and thoughtful integration created a “space where technology and design come together to create an unparalleled viewing and gaming experience” that exceeded client expectations.

On judge noted, “A very well-designed cinema with some thoughtful design touches on terms of equipment mounting etc.”
