Loft Home Cinema Installation — Surrey

A Stunning Home Cinema Design for a Loft Space above a Garage in Surrey

This loft home cinema design transforms a room above a garage in Surrey into a dedicated cinema space. A 100″ acoustically transparent screen sits in front of a high-end Artcoustic speaker package — three Spitfire 24-12 speakers (front left, centre, right) and two Spitfire Control 2 subwoofers with two 10″ drivers each — housed in an alcove within a stud wall that allows the projector screen to sit flush. Rear channels are handled by four Artcoustic SL8-4 on-wall speakers, each row of seating served by its own speaker pair for a consistent experience in every seat. An Anthem MRX-720 with ARC room correction drives the entire system.

Sony 4K Projection

A Sony VPL-VW760ES 4K HDR projector, mounted just behind the last row of seats, delivers a super sharp and bright picture even in ambient light conditions. Source equipment and the AVR are installed in a rack behind the stair and bar unit, keeping hardware completely out of sight. Dark side walls and a lighter ceiling make the most of the room height while minimising light reflections — all paintwork in matt finish throughout.

The Bar and Room Design

The existing kitchen and bar units were redesigned with dark wood units and open shelving above — books stored on these shelves also contribute positively to the room’s acoustic performance, acting as natural diffusers. The custom bar area integrates naturally into the rear of the room, making it well-suited to social viewing sessions as much as private use.

Loft and Garage Conversions — A Surrey Reference

For Surrey clients with an underused loft, an outbuilding or a room above a garage, this project demonstrates that a cinema room of genuine quality is achievable in non-purpose-built spaces. The stud-wall construction conceals the speaker enclosures without structural work, the rack position behind the bar is both practical and aesthetically clean, and the Artcoustic 7.2.2 system delivers a result that significantly outperforms its modest physical footprint.
