Case Study: Ockley, West Sussex

Converting a timber built barn space for dual purpose was always going to be challenging. Lots of exposed wood and a vaulted ceiling offer their own trials to tax our ingenuity.

The JVC projector based movie system is all installed discreetly and disappears when not in use. But why would you want to not be using this superb movie sytem. A Pioneer Blu-ray player and Sky HD provide stunning visual clarity on a motorised drop-down screen from Screen Research.

Music is supplied by a Linn Akurate DS with Linn Akurate amplification. This digital streaming source offers stunning performance and unbelievable value for money, taking music stored on a hard drive media library and serving it up in spoonfulls. Some elegant gloss black B&W XT4 speakers fill the vaulted space effortlessly.

Lighting from a Lutron Graffik Eye, the cinema and the Linn DS are all controlled from a Pronto 9600 remote control to provide a simple family friendly gateway to hours of viewing and listening heaven. And when work needs to be done it all hides away to return the room to a home office
