An outstanding cinema delivers an amazing family experience

When Len Wallis Audio was asked to do a dedicated cinema for this beautiful home, Alberto Vangi (LWA senior sales consultant) took on the project to ensure that the room was really special. And what made this project exceptional was the customer’s own personal involvement, where the owner provided us with her ongoing feedback. This ensured that we worked together to deliver an amazing space, with her own personal choices in the colour scheme and preferred finishes. The result is precisely how a cinema should be.

Bringing such a special cinema room together required lots of planning from very early on in the project, with Alberto first working closely with the owners to determine the best solution for the room. Starting from the available space – 6.7m long, 4.1m wide and 2.7m high – we first determined the ideal seating positions, the optimal screen size and speaker configuration, and an overall layout which would ensure a properly cinematic experience.

Working closely with the client we determined that three seats at the front and four at the rear would suit the room and the family the best, with Row One Cinema Seats chosen to deliver highly comfortable leather seating.

The screen is a 146-inch diagonal 2.35:1 Stewart Filmscreen Vertical Electrimask Screenwall. It incorporates drop-down vertical masking panels to present a cleanly bordered 116-inch 1.78:1 image, while its StudioTek 130 surface is microperforated for acoustic transparency to the THX 2 Ultra standard, ensuring reference performance quality for both video and audio.
