BEST BEFORE/AFTER PROJECT | GOLD (TIE)
Empty Slate to Stunning Theater
THIS $225,000
retrofi t theater is a
perfect example of a team
project. In this case, it was a
modern tech/design team
consisting of a veteran
integrator, a renowned
designer and expert general
contractor that converted
this empty family room into a
stunning nine-person
screening room with
beautiful design, perfect
acoustics, and an immersive
audio and video experience
" The clients had a relatively
small room that was
designed to be an upstairs
family room. They wanted
to have an amazing theater

experience, but the room
had several windows and
was open to the adjacent
hallway, " recalls Eric Thies
of DSI. " We had to create a
design that allowed for the
windows to be visible from
the exterior but invisible
from our light-controlled
screening room. We also had
to close up the openings to
create a room that would
contain sound and allow us
to place all of our Atmos
speakers precisely where
they should be. "
To make matters even
more complex, the client is
a pro athlete who stands
6-feet, 7-inches tall.
" We needed to build him
custom seating that supported
him comfortably. This
meant larger seating that
would eat into our space.
In addition, we needed to
install acoustics and a fabric
wall system that shrunk the
room as well. Since all of
these elements took away
space, it left us little room
for speakers. We had to engineer
a system that would
entirely disappear into the
walls yet be very high-performance, "
adds Thies.
Working closely with Lisa
Slayman to design the room,
DSI was able to create a
room that supported nine
athletes, was acoustically
perfect, had a design that
the client loved, supported
an immersive cinemascope
screen, and had 15 channels

of Dolby Atmos sound.
DSI project manager Mike
Bilicic worked closely with
designer Lisa Slayman, the
general contractor and all
of the subcontractors that
handled electrical, fabric,
lighting, starry ceiling, acoustics,
framing, etc.
" No detail was too small to
be coordinated as this puzzle
had to fi t together perfectly
to avoid compromises, " concludes
Thies. CE Pro
