THIS PROJECT FROM The London Home Cinema Company is a stunning example of an attic movie room conversion and one where the use of a partitioning wall kills two birds with one stone. First, it provides space to mount the system's 16:9 projector screen at a distance better suited to the optical skills of the JVC DLA-Z1 laser projector and the owner's seating layout preferences. Second, it creates a rear space, accessed via cutaways either side, to accommodate an extensive Blu-ray library and system electronics.
