A discrete barn installation
We were brought in by our partners at the Llama Group and Janey Butler Interiors, to help with the complete renovation and extension of an existing barn and ensure that the new technology being installed was one of two things: either the main focus of the area or discreetly hidden away.

The details
We worked closely with Llama to provide seamless and sympathetic installation to their designs, suggesting a recessed TV and in-wall speakers which would also allow them to make use of the free wall space with floating shelving.
Once we had worked with the client to finalise what equipment they wanted and also make allowances for the future, we decided it would be possible to house everything in cupboards at low level in the media wall. We provided all of the sizings to ensure the wall construction was perfect to the nearest mm allowing us to have the front of the TV flush with the rest of the wall as well as a minimal recessed surround to allow for installation and maintenance.
This project included
-
An intelligent lighting solution creates atmosphere, transforming ordinary rooms into extraordinary spaces. Create ambience with a single button that controls several lighting circuits, have lights slowly turn on at sunset, trigger illuminated pathways and integrate with security systems.
-
Essential yet invisible, a well designed and installed cable infrastructure aims to future proof your home. We design your cabling to accommodate the technology you want now and may want in the future, giving you the flexibility to grow your system with your needs.
-
Enjoy all of your favourite TV shows, movies and music instantly in any room, distributed from media servers, Sky boxes or even your phone. Instantly available and accessed by a simple button, everything is possible no matter where you are in your home.
-
In a modern home the IP network is the backbone of most of the systems that we install, from the standard distribution of internet over wired and WiFi connections through to sophisticated Audio and Video over IP solutions. Whatever your needs, a well designed and implemented network is an important first step.
-
Energy efficiency is better for the environment and your household bills. A smart heating system will ensure that only rooms in use are heated or cooled as desired. It will even learn your heating/cooling patterns, adapting the schedule to pre-empt your needs.
-
Our integrated systems provide a single point of control, eliminating the need for multiple remotes, visible wiring, and reducing the amount of technology on display to maximise the aesthetics of your home. This can be accomplished through elegant wall-mounted touch screens, handheld remotes, or dedicated phone and tablet apps.
-
Turn that entertainment space into somewhere truly special for enjoying TV, movies and games without having to sacrifice the space as a dedicated room.
Lighting control
We installed Lutron grafik eyes and keypads to control the lighting circuits inside as well as the external LED's by the SkyFrame corner glazing. The use of lighting scenes incorporating both these indoor and outdoor circuits adds to the feel of this as a single space when the doors are open. We concealed LED lighting strips within the media wall shelving and all of the other lights fittings were also energy efficient LED's.
Media Room
A 65 inch Plasma was the main focus of the wall with 3 in wall B&W speakers. To keep costs down we used a regular B&W subwoofer and modified a frame and grille from another model to allow this to also be house in the wall, but match the rest of the grilles.
