Our Client
Boughton Monchelsea is a character property where an unused wine cellar was transformed into a dedicated cinema space. The project required technology that could support immersive viewing while working within the constraints of an existing structure, including acoustic treatment, HVAC, ceiling height and room-within-a-room construction.
The client appointed Modus Vivendi to create a discreet, reliable and high-performance cinema environment. The priority was to turn an underused space into a fully resolved home cinema that felt intentional, comfortable and integrated within the character of the property.
The Brief
An unused wine cellar needed to be transformed from a bare shell into a high-performing dedicated cinema space. Because the room required full building works, decorating, and M&E services, the challenge was to resolve both the structure and the experience as one coordinated project.
Our Solution
We began by taking the clients to the Artcoustic demonstration facility in Essex, helping them refine both performance expectations and aesthetic direction before we produced a full rendered design for approval. Once agreed, the project was delivered as a full room-within-a-room build, including a reworked entrance, raised floor, lowered ceiling, heating and cooling, bespoke fabric panelling, a Starscape ceiling, layered lighting, and additional acoustic treatment. We also adjusted the bass strategy, equipment placement, and artwork design to suit the room properly, resulting in a more immersive and complete family cinema that the client now uses daily.
