Luxury Home Cinema Design — Abuja, Nigeria

A Zero Compromise Home Cinema Room

Home Cinema Rooms do not come more luxurious than this. A spacious 8.5m x 7m cinema room equipped with the very best technology and interior possible — a Sony VPL-GTZ380 projector delivering 10,000 lumens onto a 5m widescreen, Krix and Trinnov audio, and bespoke Cineak seating for twelve in two rows.

The Home Cinema Audio Video System

The audio visual equipment packed into this room is extraordinary. A recess behind the projector screen houses the Krix MX-40 system comprising front left, centre and right channels enhanced by two huge 18″ subwoofers. Six Krix Megaphonix flat speakers are wall-mounted behind stretched fabric walls to provide surround sound channels, and ten Krix ceiling speakers provide height channels for a fully immersive Dolby Atmos experience. A Trinnov audio system powers the entire speaker system, decoding the latest 3D audio formats with object-based precision.

The huge 5m projector screen — installed in a widescreen 2.35:1 aspect ratio — shows a picture from the Sony VPL-GTZ380 with a stunning brightness of 10,000 lumens, three to four times the brightness of lesser projectors. The basement location means no natural light to manage, allowing the Crestron lighting system to create precise scenes: LED strip lighting from above, individual narrow-beam spotlights centred on each seat, and fully dimmable circuits from cleaning brightness down to a warm cinema glow.

The Home Cinema Seating Design

A truly luxurious cinema room needs truly luxurious seating. The rear row contains seven Cineak Ferrier seats finished in grey leather, each independently reclining electrically with adjustment for footrests and headrests. The front row is Cineak Intimo seating — oversized day beds and armchairs upholstered in velvet to match the Ferrier seats, custom-sized to exactly match the seven rear positions. This attention to detail is only possible when sourcing from a bespoke manufacturer of Cineak’s calibre.

10,000 Lumens and Zero Compromise

The Sony VPL-GTZ380 is not a projector Custom Controls specifies frequently — at 10,000 lumens it is three to four times brighter than most residential projectors and priced accordingly. For this Abuja basement cinema room, it was the correct specification. The 5m wide widescreen projection image in a 2.35:1 aspect ratio demands a projector with the brightness reserves to fill that image convincingly. The GTZ380 delivers it.

The Krix MX-40 system provides the front three channels with two 18-inch subwoofers — a bass foundation that the Trinnov audio system processes and distributes with precision. Six Krix Megaphonix flat speakers provide surround channels. Ten Krix ceiling speakers provide height channels for a fully immersive Dolby Atmos experience. The Crestron system manages all lighting, source selection and audio configuration.

This is a reference project for Custom Controls’ West African work — and evidence that our pre-build methodology (every system assembled and tested in the UK before shipping) delivers consistently regardless of the installation country.
