Epic Loft Conversion Home Cinema Tour

Cre8tive Rooms were approached back in February by a lovely family who had just purchased a beautiful new home in Turners Hill, West Sussex. The loft space was huge and crying out to be converted into something spectacular. We spent a great deal of time with the client discussing the best use for the space, trying different layouts, producing 3D renders and ultimately it was decided. The loft would be split into two main rooms – a luxury cinema room and adjoining home office – whilst retaining ample storage space in the eaves and at the far end of the loft in a ‘bonus’ storage room. We got to work in the summer of 2022 on what turned out to be one of our greatest projects to date.

The first room in this wonderful loft space is now a regal and relaxing home office. This was originally earmarked as a games room but the client was so thrilled with the result he decided it would get more use and thus more enjoyment as a home office. We installed wooden panelling around the perimeter of room as per the clients request which linked perfectly in to the bespoke media wall opposite the clients desk. This beautiful custom joinery is finished in Walnut and contains back-light shelving and a OLED TV connected to Sky. There are also four Artcoustic 2-1 Architect ceiling speakers and SONOS music functionality in this room.

Through the office we reach the main event and reason that we were first approached for this job, the incredible home cinema. It features our signature design with upholstered padded walls, coffered ceiling, high and low level colour-changing LED lighting and fibre optic starlight ceiling. This room boasts a 9.2.4 Dolby Atmos sound system powered by Artcoustic. This equates to three large speakers and one subwoofer behind the screen, plus one at the rear, six Satellite surround speakers, which are tastefully recessed into the upholstered wall padding, and four Atmos overhead speakers. The speakers and door are both finished in black to provide a pop of contrast against the light padding. The screen is a 2.35:1 Cinewide screen which allows you to watch widescreen movies at their intended aspect ratio, whilst being able to easily switch back to regular 16:9 format at the touch of a button on the Savant custom programmed remote control.

Whilst the huge loft conversion was ongoing, it was also decided that we would build a bespoke cabin in the garden to house a Foresight Sports golf simulator. The cabin itself is 5m wide by 7m deep and 3m high internally. It is finished with gorgeous cedar cladding to the exterior and astroturf flooring and part-painted, part-padded walls to the interior. The golf room also features bespoke joinery which houses a TV, PC and mini drinks fridge. This room is hardwired all the way back to the loft space for a reliable network connection and for full Sky functionality on the TV. The simulator itself is a Foresight Sports GCQuad with FSX Play, the very latest software from Foresight. This is projected onto a full-size 4.5m x 2.7m HD, impact-friendly golf screen. Additional features in this room include a wall wrap to the rear wall with an image of the client’s favourite golf course, as well as two teaching cameras. The cameras automatically record when you take a shot and instantly feed in to the Foresight software. This paired with the already incredible GCQuad gives you an immense amount of data for both practice and play.
