Double garage conversion creates huge home cinema space with seating and storage

Stage 1

Ever thought about converting your double garage into a feature-filled home theatre space?

Well, that is exactly what the brief from this client was. Their double garage was converted into a very generous 6m x 4.5m cinema room. This made use of our team’s expertise to carry out the building/structural works, which included framing off the room and installing doors to create a separate storage area for their children’s stuff. We also took care of carpentry/cabinetry, painting, carpet installation – as well as the supply and installation of all the selected AV and tech gear.

Project highlights included:

– A full cinema room fitout with 5.2.4 Dolby Atmos sound, including 2 x subwoofers, 2 x in ceiling fronts, and 2 x pairs of in-ceiling rears
– Manhattan New Yorker Pro custom cinema seating, with tiered step up for second row of seating and step LED lighting
– Building of step-up
– Carpet and curtains supplied and installed
– Installation of security camera system throughout the house
– Installation of Ubiquiti WiFi system for strong signal throughout the property
– Full audio and video calibration, for perfect picture and sound
