Creating a floating cinema room to spend time together with friends and family
A quick look at some of the key steps
What do you do? You want a cinema room to spend time together, but haven’t got a 30 room mansion – well, look no further than up! We turned a tired looking and neglected space above the stairs, into a one of a kind, floating cinema room, that felt special and perfect for evening film nights together.
1. Investigation of the space and designing of the net came first. Factors such as positioning of projector, best entrance point, lighting and appearance from different angles all played key roles in decision making.
2. Following discussions with a certified local carpenter, measures were taken to further reinforce the wooden walls. Our carpentry partner installed large solid wood beams to the structure of the house, and over 40 individual 120mm stainless steel eye bolts to help secure the outer perimiter rope and ensure the integrity of the base structure.
3. After the static rope had been doubled up (something we always do for extra strength and resilience), we were able to start with the paracord – over 2km of it!
