Hi.
My wife and I are having a house designed from scratch and one of the requirements the architects know about is the need for a home cinema dedicated room in the basement (as well as a small room for home servers and the home cinema equipment next to it)
They have come up with a plan that places the home cinema room on a corner that receives sun light due to the fact that the basement has a small rectangular "patio" next to it (you will be able to walk down to it from the garden at ground level). This implies that one side of the room would have a window, their argument being that this would make the room all the better when natural light is OK (family photo slideshows, playstation sessions, etc...).
I am not all too sure about this. It would seem to me a blind against the window to black the room out is not the best element for acoustics... Maybe there are other drawbacks I am missing... or maybe they have come up with a fabulous idea!
Any comments or insight would be highly appreciated.
Regards from up to recently very sunny Spain (wind and rain has finally made it here in the last few days)

PS Attached is the autocad plan for the basement. "Sala de proyeccion" is the home cinema room. "Servidores" is for equipment.
