The Lady loves red ... The Design Brief was simple – a multi-room audio system and a ‘drop dead’ Cinema Room – the only catch being that the Cinema Room also had to function as a beautiful modern lounge. With the help of Chaplins, the red lacquer Morel speakers selected nicely contrasted with the elegant furniture – you see the lady of the house loves red!
 The remainder of the 5.1 speaker system was hidden in the lounge ceiling (including a special in-ceiling subwoofer). Unlike many other ceiling speakers, these Morel units are completely sealed, ensuring minimum leakage to the children’s bedrooms upstairs. The quality of the Morel HD20’s is quite amazing given their size – greatly helped by the eyeball design allowing the speakers to be pointed towards the listener, greatly improving high frequency distribution.
The 1920p true HD Projector was also recessed into the ceiling - coming into view at the touch of a remote. The Pleasure Home does not like the traditional concertina projector lift mechanism as they never seem to go back to the same position. Instead they deployed a new swiss product, featuring a patented fine screw mechanism, providing extremely fine control, so that the projector is ALWAYS lowered in exactly the position that the image fills the entire screen.

We were able to source a special white paint designed to function as an excellent Projection surface – after of course the wall was finely sanded.
The Study features the Ferguson Hill transparent speakers, with dedicated spherical subwoofers and an aluminium encased amplifier.
The Lounge, Kitchen and Study all being controlled by the extremely easy to use Sonos Remote Controller.
The total installation cost including labour and equipment was under £30,000.
