Designer: Panoramic Properties Limited

Panoramic Properties set out to create a luxury home cinema that forms part of a spectacular property. This home cinema needed to cater for 24 guests at any one time and provide the theatrical experience for the homeowner and guests.

Key aspects to the design included lighting, where Panoramic Properties created architectural ceiling details allowing for diffused lighting to be positioned, combined with the latest home automation; this created the optimum luxe levels for enjoying the cinema experience. Panoramic Properties also created a staggered seating arrangement, allowing uninterrupted views of the screen. The under-lit tiered steps each have a curved face softening the feel and echoing the bespoke upholstery. The bespoke curved sofas sit within their own booth giving each a sense of privacy and enclosure, within the bigger space.

Panoramic Properties feel the design works well on many levels but the attention to detail throughout sets this home cinema apart from others. The room is in perfect symmetry from entering the 2 sets of inlaid double doors at the rear to the seating and screen position. Lighting remained a key focus throughout the design process, from the starry-effect sky including shooting stars in the rear raised ceiling detail, to the low-level lighting in the seats and curved booth upstands for low level lighting the walkways during a film.

There are several elements seen within the space such as the metal inlay with inlayed leather in the doors that are carried through into other elements of the property giving the development continuity throughout. This space was perfectly created for the user to get lost in the world of film, sport or gaming by submerging their senses and shutting out the external world whilst within the space.
