Of all the custom installs we featured this year, this loft conversion project with innovative partition wall and plenty of disc storage space was our favourite.

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.
