OVERVIEW
Prof.Jawahar had allocated a 23’Lx16’Wx11’H sized room for a home theater in the new house and wanted to make sure that it serves the purpose well without being too Jazzy or crowded. The Home theatre would be used mostly for movie watching and occasionally for TV broadcast.
GOAL
To build the best home theater that recreates the experience of watching a movie in a local theater right inside the home. The Home Theatre design team at Symphony 440 Design Group would work in-line with the architect and client’s interior requirement and make sure to deliver the best quality audio-video possible.
ACOUSTICS & AUDIO - VIDEO
Symphony 440 Design Group surveyed the Home cinema room to assess the requirements and turn the space into a comfortable home theater space. The team evaluated the room dimension to assess various room treatment requirements to control the quality of sound in the room. Other implementations include:
1. The team designed a 9” seating riser for comfortable movie viewing experience for the second-row audience. With nothing less than ten seating recliners in the home theatre room, creating a platform was very much essential, and we could place about five recliners on top of it.
3. Used all the four available corners of the room for Limp mass Bass trapping to reduce the effect of modal resonance and to make sure the audience hears the best out of dual 15 inch Klipsch subwoofers.
4. Designed & Installed vertical wooden Pillars with acoustic materials backing to get much needed additional bass absorption and achieve a better-looking wall panelling design in the home cinema room.
6. High-resolution Panasonic home theatre projector was used for the projection to provide a crisp, bright image.
The projector imported from abroad didn’t work the first time. But, once serviced and reinstalled, the projector worked flawlessly with both full HD and 3D contents.
8. As the client wanted an easy to maintain home theatre space, We decided to go with a dark coloured homogenous hardwood for the flooring. This premium home theater wooden flooring offers excellent aesthetics and as desired, provides a low-maintenance flooring.
Since the client was very particular on having wood finish on walls as well as the ceiling, Symphony 440 design group worked extra hard to install and calibrate an audio system, which would provide a pleasant audio experience without exciting the room much. The project took three months to finish.
