When my wife and I built our new dream home last fall, we both wanted to have a dedicated HT room (well, me more than her). When I started with the floorplan this was the 1st room I designed, then the rest of the house around it.
We knew we were going to use a projector, so I made sure there were no windows. The room is also on the other side of the house from the bedrooms, and all insulated with the green Roxul stuff. I had an HT company come in and wire up the room and house before the drywall went up.
My parents, parents in law, and most of our friends thought I was nuts to make a room like this. However, now that it's finished (almost), they all want to come over an watch movies and sporting events!
Take a look for yourself, let me know what you think.
Room dimensions are 17.5' x 26' x 9'
Thanks
