Award-winning: four URC Unsurpassed awards for Best International Installation since 2021
A whole house in north London
We provided all the technology for an entire north London home: the network, integrated AV, lighting control, CCTV, door entry and a hidden cinema. An international award-winning installation, it won Silver for Best International Installation at the URC Unsurpassed Awards in 2021. See the north London project
Whole-house audio in Englefield Green, Surrey
A renovated family home on the Surrey side of Windsor Great Park. The brief was music and television wherever they should be and no visible technology anywhere else. Architectural speakers are built into the kitchen ceiling, all-weather speakers cover the garden, and one URC control system runs it all from a single remote and app. See the Englefield Green project

Bring serious cinema engineering into your home. Our team designs and installs dedicated rooms with proper acoustic treatment, high-performance projection, and control that works with the rest of the house.
A purpose-built cinema room behaves differently from a living room with a TV in it. Acoustics are designed before equipment is chosen; light is controlled before screens are sized; the result, finished, is a room that disappears the moment the film starts.
Multi-room audio, garden speakers and simple smart-home control discreetly integrated into an open-plan home in Englefield Green, Surrey.
A Cotswolds home cinema set inside a period country house, with whole-house audio kept out of sight everywhere else.
A garden room turned dedicated home cinema in Gloucester. The client supplied their preferred audio kit; we delivered the room around it — interior and lighting design, acoustic treatment effective to ~60Hz, a floating front-wall feature, and a 7.1.2 Atmos layout calibrated in-room with Marantz processing.

Dedicated-room projects with a more focused scope typically start from around £35,000 including VAT. That is not a minimum spend for surround sound or hi-fi installed in an existing room, which can cost significantly less. A complete designed cinema room is a different scope: our serious cinema guide is £80,000–£120,000 including VAT, with reference projects around £200,000–£400,000+. Exact inclusions and costs are agreed in your quotation. Whole-home smart systems and hi-fi projects are quoted individually.

In London and the Home Counties a dedicated cinema is frequently phase one; the rest of the house follows — Lutron and Rako lighting, multi-room audio, climate, shading and security under one control system. See our whole-house automation in London and the Home Counties page for what a whole-house system includes.
