Cinema in the living room — guidelines for architects
Working with architects at concept stage
Design guidelines for architects — how to plan a home cinema in the living room without conflicts with the interior design. We support interior designers with audio-video systems and acoustics so that the TV wall and hidden loudspeakers become a natural part of the layout.
We deliver living-room cinema projects in close cooperation with the architect. We align aesthetic goals with acoustic and audio requirements — the Soundwall TV wall works both as a design feature and a full home cinema solution.
It is best to involve us at the interior concept stage. Then we can agree dimensions, cabinetry layout, cable routes and finishing details together — before executive documentation is issued.
What to plan in the living room project?
The points below help avoid conflicts between the interior vision and audio system requirements. Every Soundwall project is bespoke — the list is a starting point for discussion at concept stage.
The project should consider, among other things:
We provide technical documentation and installation guidelines for the specific interior. After completion we tune and calibrate the system in the finished living room.
- Dimensions and location of the TV wall — width, height and depth for speakers and electronics
- Reserve for the acoustic structure (baffle wall) and sound-transparent fabric on the front of the wall
- Cable routes and niches for amplifiers and processors — usually behind the TV or in adjacent cabinetry
- Loudspeaker and subwoofer layout tailored to the room (including Trimless units built into plasterboard)
- Front finishes — fabric, panels, stone, veneer or joinery details consistent with the concept
- Work schedule — coordination with joinery, finishing teams and audio installation

We provide technical support at every stage — from the first concept through installation and handover. The client receives one coherent solution: TV wall, hidden loudspeakers and a tuned audio system in a single delivery process.
