Inside a Footballer’s Ultimate Home Cinema

Inside a Footballer’s Ultimate Home Cinema

Jaw dropping, eye popping...

This sun drenched family space transforms at the touch of a button to the ultimate private cinema experience. Part of a whole home SONA project you can see here.

Family first

This is not your average cinema room.

Set within a newly built luxury home in Formby, this dedicated cinema space was designed for one of football’s top talents — someone used to stadiums, high performance, and moments that matter. The brief was simple: create a room that delivers a true cinematic experience, but still works as a light-filled space during the day.

What we created was anything but simple.

A Cinema Room That Adapts Like a Pro

By day, this space enjoys floods of natural light through multiple windows — making it a relaxed extension of the home. But at the touch of a button, it transforms into a fully immersive, acoustically tuned cinema environment.

At the touch of a button blinds silently lower, shutting out the outside world whilst the lighting dims in unison, hundreds of star-lights appear on the ceiling and the screen comes to life...

How? Through layers of intelligent technology and design.

  • Motorised blackout blinds and curtains, perfectly integrated into plaster-in tracks and concealed furniture, create a seamless shift from light to dark.

  • Stacked curtains, hidden behind bespoke joinery, provide not just light control, but warmth and sound insulation.

  • The entire room responds to pre-set 'Day Mode' and 'Movie Mode' scenes — adjusting lighting, blinds, screen aspect ratio, and audio in one move.

The result is a space that feels open, inviting, and calm — until it's time to press play.

A SONA private cinema doesn't just let you watch a film - it's designed to immerse you , drench your senses in auditory and visual stimulation and provide a one of a kind experience in the comfort and luxury of your home.

An Audiovisual Powerhouse

SONA know how vital it is to achieve incredible sounding cinemas. At the end of the day, they can look amazing, but if they don't have the ability to put your body in amongst the sound of the moment you're in, the cinema will fall flat in terms of performance.

Great sound doesn’t just fill the room — it melts into it, shaping atmosphere without stealing focus. This cinema is powered by a 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos surround system, featuring speakers hidden behind acoustically transparent fabric panelling for bold, expressive performance that's completely hidden from view.

Paired with an anamorphic screen that adjusts for wide-format films, and you have a viewing experience that rivals commercial theatres — but in the comfort of home.

A genuine extravagance at home, this spectacular room provides a comfortable and luxurious space that all of the family can enjoy together or individually, mere footsteps from the main living areas.

Designed for Living, Engineered for Escape

Despite the performance, this room doesn’t look like a cinema. That’s intentional. Working alongside Hunter & Belle Interiors, every fabric panel, every finish, and every line was considered.

  • Bespoke joinery and fabric panels hides acoustic treatments, curtain tracks, and speakers.

  • Subtle lighting control and hidden wiring ensure that nothing distracts from the atmosphere.

It’s a room you want to be in — even when you’re not watching a film.

A Perfectly Tuned Space

This cinema didn’t happen by accident. It took planning, coordination, and deep technical expertise.

SONA were involved from the earliest construction stages — pre-wiring the space for future performance, testing sightlines, and working with trades to ensure every element could disappear into the walls and ceiling. The engineering rack was precisely configured. Acoustic performance was mapped. Light levels were measured.

Great homes need great engineers.
And great cinemas? Even more so.
