Early November I was looking round a David Wilson Show home for ideas and it had the loft converted into a sort of Cinema Room, (pic below) and I thought... "I want one!"
My dad is an architect, he poked his head up into my loft and said ‘yup, you could convert this’. Really? I thought. Let’s do it! So, I have my dad to thank for this project.
4 quotes later from Loft Conversion Specialists and it's now underway. I write this 2 weeks into construction and will go back and post my photos I have been taking daily to show you the work so far.
We chose Truss Loft to do the conversion. The guys working here have been incredible.
As they built partitions and stud walls I could see how the room was going to look and they were awesome as I was able to tweak the layout along the way.
As I write this, the AV guys (RB Vision) came yesterday to lay all the cables in preparation. They will be fitting an acoustic fixed screen with a 7.1 KEF system and Onkyo Amp. Cat 6 cables have been laid with a 1 gig switcher. I am using my Optoma HD20 Projector for now. The plan is to see what the technology is doing in the new year and maybe upgrade then. To be honest. I love this one and can't fault the picture. I believe there will be Apple TV and FreeSat going in too.
They are also talking about Rako lighting and controlling the whole room from the iPad.
I can't tell you how exciting this all is.
Any thoughts or comments welcome. Or extra ideas we can consider.
