Sunday lunch to midnight in one press.
The clients came to us through Meiger Kitchens and Interiors, wanting to convert a disused gym into a bar where they could entertain and hold parties without anyone having to come through the rest of the house. They asked for a night-club level sound system they could stream to and a DJ could plug into.
A large projection screen was wanted for sport, on the condition that it vanished when it was not in use. A JVC laser projector does the picture, and the screen retracts out of sight.
The room has a huge sky light, which in summer made it uncomfortably hot. Lutron roller blinds were added to the glazing and put on the same control as everything else, so the room manages its own temperature before anyone notices it needs to.
For the sound there was only one honest answer, which was to install an actual night-club system. Void Acoustics is our partner of choice for that: six wall-mounted speakers in the corners of the room, and a large subwoofer hidden under the bench seating. Pioneer decks take care of the DJ, and Control4 ties the lot together.
A room that runs from a quiet Sunday afternoon to a full party on one press, with sound that would not embarrass a small venue.

Let’s talk about your bar.
We visit, listen, measure, and come back with drawings and a fixed price.
