Architect Irina Sazonova created a home theater with an obvious oriental accent. It evokes associations with the tent of the Queen of Shamakhi: there are wall carpets, comfortable beds, and low tea tables

The customer of this home theater spent 10 years in China. It is no coincidence that when the house was built and the question arose of what the interior would be, they remembered about the ethnic. The building is two-storeyed, with an attic. The ground floor is completely dedicated to the common area: living room, dining room, kitchen and cinema. If the main premises - with a Chinese accent, the home theater, rather, in the spirit of the Middle East. This is an isolated room, without windows. The only source of natural light is the opening in the wall between the cinema and the dining room. This opening was made for a better view. With this solution, the home theater screen can be seen even from the kitchen. Cinema can be watched while in the dining room and in the living room.

To the right of the cinema there is a seating area with a huge fireplace in the entire wall, in front of which a large chandelier hangs. Such serious lighting was not introduced into the home theater, they used a point variant - lamps embedded in wooden ceiling beams. Between the beams - plasterboard layer, which dampens the sound. Above the living room, at the ceiling level, large speakers are fixed, in the street - smaller speakers. Both are connected to the home theater speaker system. You can play music in the cinema and listen to it in all areas of the first floor, as well as outside the house. You can even combine a few favorite tunes, because in the cinema there is a DJ console.

However, the very atmosphere of this cinema is far from the club one; rather, she is relaxed in an oriental way. Cinema was originally thought of as a chill out. It was supposed to be a room filled with sunbeds. The mattresses were covered with an expensive beautiful fabric, the pillows were turned into a silk beaded wonder. Accidentally found a wrought-iron Indian bench with a striped pillow-seat. Customers immediately liked it, and bought it in the hope of later using it somewhere in the interior. It was just the way that the bedding came in a home cinema with its Asian mood. Her banding is echoed by a dense textile curtain in the opening between the cinema hall and the dining room. The walls of the cinema are decorated with handmade Indian rugs. In the interior there are items of Oriental use: hookahs, scented candles, tea accessories. The customer specifically traveled to Turkey for all these delights. In addition, friends, knowing about his addiction, regularly give him something like that. Certainly, in such an atmosphere, film viewing cannot fail to deliver orientally exquisitely refined pleasure.

SALON: In the exterior of the house there are Dutch motifs, in the interior - eastern. Technique for the cinema was chosen according to a similar principle?

Alexey Kisurin: The cinema was created on the basis of the wishes of the customer, and they did not set the task of hitting anyone or stunning them. Here, as you can see, there is a relatively inexpensive but good frontal acoustics from CANTON, and in the corners hang dipole rear WHARFEDALE. Speakers used here CANTON LE оказались хорошим выбором с точки зрения соотношения цена - качество. Как и остальное: плеер и AV receiver от DENONEnglish subwoofer brand MISSION. It turned out in the end, well cut and tightly stitched.

S: Video Projector SANYO stand apart?

- This is a good multimedia projector, as it is more expensive to save money on video in a home theater. The customer was satisfied with the image quality. By the way, if you noticed, on the opposite wall hang two professional studio monitors WAITING: they are used to sound the living room, although with such parameters (enormous sensitivity) the whole house is enough ... The speakers are connected to the DJ console and mixer PIONEER.

S: Acoustics are not only in the cinema, but also in the kitchen, and even outside. Can this be called a smart home?

- “Smart”, more precisely, “intellectual”, a house is a slightly different concept. We are talking exclusively about sound. For example, in the kitchen its own, fully autonomous music. This is a sound source wall cd player from SPEAKERCRAFT vertically loaded (very convenient!) and two ceiling speakers of the same brand. The player includes a stereo amplifier and a digital FM / AM tuner, control from the console is possible. Weatherproof Speakers JAMO - there are three of them - they sound the lawn in front of the facade of the house during entertainment events.

S: Returning to the cinema ... It is organized in an isolated room "without windows and doors." Any problems with sound quality?

- There were no special problems, although the premises of the cinema hall are really difficult from the point of view of acoustics. The elements of the interior help (pillows, carpet, drapes) - they effectively absorb unwanted wave resonances. The whole object was very balanced.
