We opted for an Adeo motorised cassette type ceiling projector screen which is hidden away above the soffit when not in use. The screen is in widescreen format and measures 78 inches in diagonal.

A WXGA Epson short throw projector was ceiling mounted using a low profile bracket due to the limited space in the room. The projector is placed only 81cm away from the screen, but still projects an image measuring 78-inches diagonally.

Our client was after a 5.1 system which besides having excellent sound quality, also wanted the speakers to stand out and be part of the decor of the house. So the best choice for such an installation are the iconic Beolab 18 speakers from Bang & Olufsen. These are available in various finishes.

The customer wanted a minimalist, standalone, simple to control system with the design to match his interior. We installed 2 x 77″ OLED TVs on minimalist, aluminium B&O floorstands.

The sound system is a Beosound Stage; One of the latest designer products churned out by B&O. Incredible room filling sound from one speaker also attached to the Floor stand using proprietary brackets.
