Your media room can be one of the most enjoyable rooms in your
home. The key to maximizing your enjoyment is careful design.
Many disciplines comprise media room design. It's part interior
design, architecture, acoustics, electronic systems design, electrical
engineering, control systems design and video systems design.
Recently computer and network expertise has become increasingly
necessary as well.
The more questions you ask and the more pertinent information you
have to work with, the more successful the project will be. You can't
know too much about how the room will be used or the personality
and values of those who will be using it. Information is the key to
success in this area.
Questions that must be answered include:
1) Is this a dedicated theater or mixed use facility such as rec room
or multi-media room?
2) What size and shape is the space?
3) What type of construction is the residence? Is there an ability to
optimize construction for our purposes using techniques such as:
Double, staggered stud walls, R/C channel-mounted sheet rock,
acoustic absorbing membrane, etc.
4) Is altering either the size or shape an option if doing so would
improve the end result?
4) Is it to be used for movie viewing only or will it accommodate
mixed programming such as TV programs or sports? If principally
movies, what genre? Action, Horror, Drama, Comedy, etc.
5) What is the number of seats required?
6) What type of seating is desired for the project. Theater chairs,
Sofas? Recliners? Leather? Cloth? Motorized? Sofas w/ Built-In
recliners?
7) Is there a desired decor the theater / media room should follow?
Does the project have an interior designer? Is there a theme
throughout the home the theater should retain? Is there already a
design theme in mind?
8) WiI there be ambient lighting control? If so, what type?
9) Will existing equipment be incorporated? If so, what components?
10) What sources are desired or available?
11) What is the exterior environment like? Noisy, hot, cold?
12) How loud will the users want it to go?
13) Will the facility be used for gaming?
14) How comfortable are the primary users with technology.
Once these questions have been answered, the design process
can begin.
