LONDON, United Kingdom \u2013 July 2026 \u2013 <\/strong>\u00a0For a North London homeowner, it started with a Burna Boy concert. Struck by the sound, he looked into the system behind it, found L-Acoustics, and arrived at a question he couldn’t let go. Could that same experience \u2014 physical, immersive, emotionally present \u2014 exist in a private home? The answer, he decided, would require two very different rooms, and two opposite approaches to the same goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Unambiguous Brief<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy the time he arrived at the L-Acoustics showroom in Highgate, the client had a clear sense of what he wanted,\u201d says Nick Fichte, Global Business Development Lead, Hospitality, Home & Yacht at L-Acoustics. \u201cHe was interested in recreating the physical and emotional impact of live sound, rather than simply replicating it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The client came with specific tracks he wanted to hear, ideas about speaker placement, and a vision for how he wanted each space to feel. He also returned to Highgate a second time to refine his choices as the project moved closer to completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designing for Invisibility and Impact<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two spaces required distinct design approaches. Working with the wider project team, Hill House Interiors helped shape how the audio systems were integrated into each room. In the cinema room, the client didn\u2019t want the speakers to be visible at all. Hill House Interiors developed the design approach that allowed the speakers to be concealed entirely behind fabric walls, with acoustic treatment and build work handled by specialist contractor Desmond & Sons, leaving no visible trace of the technology behind the experience. The result is a seamlessly integrated, immersive listening environment where the full power of the system is experienced rather than seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBringing the design and audio teams together early allowed the acoustic brief to inform the room from the outset, from wall build-ups and material choices through to the ceiling design,\u201d explain Helen Bygraves and Jenny Weiss, Co-Founders and Directors of Hill House Interiors. \u201cWorking with L\u2011Acoustics meant we could achieve a high level of performance while keeping the technology discreet, so the cinema still reads as an intimate, resolved interior rather than a purely technical space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The games room was the opposite brief entirely. Here, the client wanted the speakers visible \u2014 a deliberate design statement rather than a hidden system. The acoustic challenge was considerable: floor-to-ceiling glass, hard floors, a bar surface running the length of the room, and glazed doors opening onto a swimming pool left almost nothing to absorb reflections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo flawlessly match the Syva speakers, we RAL colour-matched them to the joinery, and designed them to read as a deliberate design statement within the room,\u201d says Fichte. \u201cGiven the complexity of the acoustic environment, we also brought in one of our L-Acoustics application engineers to calibrate the system. Their expertise was essential to achieving the performance the space required.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Syva and X Series Deliver<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cinema room is built around three X8i<\/a> handling left, centre and right channels, supported by 10 X4i<\/a> covering surround and height channels, and two Syva sub<\/a> for low frequency extension. System drive is handled by an LA7.16i<\/a> amplified controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the games room, a pair of Syva<\/a> with Syva Sub forms the main system, complemented by four X4r<\/a> installed in the ceiling, powered by an LA4X<\/a> amplified controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound Worth Coming Home To<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project\u2019s ultimate aim, to bring the quality of live sound into a private home, was realised in the finished installation. With the system calibrated and the client fully acquainted with its capabilities, the response has been overwhelmingly positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat made this project special was the journey the client had already been on before he walked through our door,\u201d Fichte adds. \u201cHe knew what he wanted because he\u2019d heard it in a live context and refused to accept that the same emotional experience wasn\u2019t possible at home. He was the sort of client who pushes you to deliver something truly exceptional \u2014 and these two rooms do exactly that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
