Lazy-boy Theater Installation

Our client was interested in a comfortable room without a lot of visible “fluff”. We delivered. This theater was planned during the new home construction and created with functionality, ease of use, and budget constraints in mind. The major feature of the space is the simplicity of its design.

An immediate challenge was the client’s desire for a star field fiber-optic ceiling. Being a basement room with 2x10 floor joists above created a need to rough-in the fibers over a period of 4 days. One third of the ceiling was dry-walled at a time, allowing the access needed to pull the individual strands of fiber back to the light source in the equipment closet.

The proscenium is dealer designed, manufactured, and installed. In addition to its aesthetic properties, it serves to hide the front speakers and the subwoofers. The design also allows for the curtain to partially retract into the cavity. The walls are double insulated and dry-walled and upholstered with carpet, providing for surprisingly good acoustics.

System control is simplified by the Crestron control system. The client asked for as many “one button” automated control options as possible. Start, stop, source and lighting selection commands are one-touch operations. The basement game room and bar functions are also automated by the system.

Our client is extremely satisfied. The theater is their favorite room in the house
