Smart Home Cinema

CEDIA finalist

Winner of the 2020 CEDIA Home Technology Professional Award for Best Home Cinema and shortlisted in the Smart Building Awards that will be announced later this year, Spinney Home Cinema is a high-performance project developed by Cyberhomes for a family of six, who made a wish list: "the biggest cinematic screen and the best audio achievable".

Ingenuity inspired by Vicoustic

Chris Morley, Lead Designer at Cyberhomes, said to Essential Install magazine: “We carefully researched futuristic looking acoustic treatments to be integrated whilst also addressing first reflections and room mode issues". The Designer later recounts, “the acoustic treatments use very specific fabrics which were hard to match, we overcame this by sourcing the actual material and colour direct from the manufacturer, then fabricated our own structures creating a seamless look throughout the room."

In an interview to Vicoustic, Chris explained: "all the panels are Vicoustic which are blended in with our own bespoke custom designed panels, side grills, projector enclosure and stage. Our panels use the same fabrics as the ones from Vicoustic which we purchased from the brand for an exact match."

"Blown away"

"The client was simply blown away with what we had achieved. They said ‘We could not fault Cyberhomes’ and ‘We never expected the cinema room to be as good as it is and it’s become the show piece of the entire property’.", recalls Chris.

The Spinney Home Cinema won the 2020 CEDIA Home Technology Professional Award in the Home Cinema Category in the EMEA region (Europe and Middle East and Africa).

We wish to thank Cyberhomes and Essential Install magazine for sharing this project.
