A good company, a magnificent living room with fabric-draped walls, beautiful leather furniture, a glass of brandy, beautiful music, billiards, preference and cinema on the big screen are attributes of a traditional English club. This is possible not only on the shores of foggy Albion, but also in a city apartment, the owner of which is no stranger to rest in the company of friends

This home theater has the atmosphere of a British club. Huge - about eighty square meters - the room is divided into zones. To spend your leisure time, there is a huge home cinema, billiards, club table, bar counter and solid leather furniture. There is access to the terrace, which in good weather overlooks the city. The home theater area can be separated from the main space with the help of automatic curtains, which reliably isolate sounds from the outside without interfering with watching a movie. In the decoration of the walls used fabric drapery and wall leather panels, custom-made. All this not only perfectly decorates the space, but also serves as an effective sound insulation that improves the sound quality of the audio system. The screen space, also consisting of leather panels, is illuminated around the perimeter, which creates a unique atmosphere of comfort. The landlord is knowledgeable about current trends in home audio and video equipment. Therefore, he was actively involved in the selection of components for home theater. According to the landlord, the sound of the home audio system was as comfortable as possible. As for the appearance, the magnificent Italian speakers ZINGALI with wooden horns perfectly fit into the living room salon interior. A huge, full-length wall, the projection screen allows you to feel yourself in a big cinema hall and easily takes the viewer to the center of the events. Audio and video equipment installed in different rooms is controlled from the AMX touch panel, located close to the master chair. It can be used to control both home cinema and automatic curtains dividing the living room space and shading the hall during movie screening. Subject to its commands and numerous lamps, operating on the principle of scenic lighting. All reproducing equipment and amplifiers are assembled in a single wooden rack, which does not visually stand out from the background of a conservative salon interior and partly veils modern electronics, harmoniously weaving it into the overall style of the living room. The equipment installed in the living room does not in the least disturb the atmosphere of the traditional men's club. Here you have an equally good time over a glass of cognac, a leisurely game of cards, listening to music or watching a movie.
