Smart Home & Home Cinema
Our Client
The client had recently purchased a new home in Sevenoaks, Kent and wanted to make better use of it for both family life and entertaining. A basement offered clear potential, but the final direction, look, and performance level had not yet been defined, so they needed structured guidance on how to invest well.
The Brief
The initial brief centred on creating a family-focused basement cinema. As discussions progressed, it became clear that the home’s existing Wi-Fi & networking infrastructure was not strong enough to support work, streaming, video calls, and wider entertainment use across the property. The project therefore expanded beyond one room into a broader whole-home technology upgrade.
Our Solution
We began by upgrading the property’s Wi-Fi & networking and broadband performance, after identifying that the existing system could not support the family’s work, streaming, and wider usage demands. With that in place, we designed the basement environment to balance immersive viewing with a more social, relaxed atmosphere. To help the client make decisions quickly and confidently, we produced 3D visuals and presented clearly differentiated options before installation began. The completed scheme combined tailored seating, bespoke fabric panelling, acoustic artwork, controllable mood lighting, and a pool table, resulting in a space that improved both digital reliability and the overall experience of the home.
