Shown below are snapshots from the original plans used in the design of a home theatre system for one of our clients. Since the home was not originally planned to accommodate complete home automation, we have added this feature. This ensures that not only the entertainment room, but the entire home, is wired to allow for current and future expansion. [ Expand page content... ] [ Collapse page content... ]
 The original plans are used to get an idea where the structure will allow new cabling to be laid. The new home theatre room is visible to the top left. |
 The new home theatre room is being planned. Exact measurements are critical as this will determine the options available. |
 Determining where viewers will be seated is dependent on the room size and also the surface area of the projection screen. |
 Exact height measurements are required to install cables for the overhead projection system used in this project. |
 Some weeks later and the project has been completed. You can now enjoy your movies in private without others spoiling the experience. |
 Looking to the rear, an unusual view from floor level shows the exquisite features. |
 The large screen does not dominate the room and was selected to fit in with the room dimensions. |
 During the construction phase the original plans and design features are used to ensure specifications are met. |
 Even before a single brick is laid, the owner can have an idea what it will look like, based on our CAD design drawings. |
 Effective lighting is used to ensure adequate lighting without it ever affecting the view. |
Home automation - the way into the future
The current project allows for future expansion. Imagine having your home theatre room already prepared in advance even before you walk into your home. Switch on the projector and related equipment, set the ambient temperature and prepare whatever else will make you feel comfortable! Home automation is the new buzz word. Having information available anywhere under the roof is what people are looking for.
Have a music server distribute music to any or all rooms; digital television signals available where you want them and music to suit your mood. All of this and more is now possible. The best thing is that this does not require a completely new home. With proper planning any existing home can be transformed to accommodate all of your audio, video and data requirements.
