THE BRIEF

Our clients came to us with an idea for a ‘his and hers’ set up for their beautifully bohemian downstairs space. They wanted both of their reception rooms to have access to music streaming, SKY TV and Blu-Ray, so that they could maximise both spaces. They also wanted to be able to listen to different music in different parts of the house (there’s always that one song you can’t agree on…) and to have the option to each watch their own programmes in peace. The audio system also needed to be great for entertaining, so that guests could mingle and move between rooms whilst still enjoying the music. Part of our brief was to help design the fireplace wall in the living room and source a large television that would fit perfectly into the recess, keeping the room cosy and eclectic rather than overpowering it.

SET UP

In the living room, we installed a 75” Samsung Smart TV, Sonos Play Bar, two Sonos Play 3s as rear speakers and a Sonos subwoofer. A Blu-Ray player, Apple TV and SKY box provide extensive viewing options. In the family room, we installed a 55” Samsung Smart TV and Sonos Play Bar. The addition of four Sonos boxes provides audio streaming for the entirety of the downstairs and outdoor living space. We liaised with the building team and assisted them by providing CAD drawings for the fireplace dimensions.
