Small Theater Build Threads

Along the line of the "Best" build threads, how bout we compile a list of smaller theater builds. Smaller in the sense of physical size. I have a bit of an ulterior motive as my space for my upcoming build is only 11.5'x18'x8' so I'm trying to get as much info on a small build as I can. But also since the big expensive builds get all the press I think it's good to showcase some of the smaller builds.


Currently I'm liking this one a lot:

I was just thinking of this same thread but ya beat me to it. Alright, I've found a few theaters that I think are also cool. Would you mind if I helped you tag photos as well?

My room is 13x17. My columns are 9" each (in hindsight would have altered my design) - so the gap for my seating is 11.5. I just purchased a couch w/recliners that is 82" wide which will leave 28" aisles. A riser was poor WAF, so we were planning bar stools & bean bags for overflow seating. I am almosts done (and moving, sheesh), so should add final pics this weekend (or at the latest, next). Link in the sig.

This place is addicting! I'm just starting my build and can't seem to read enough or see enough other theaters! I'm getting some really good ideas and now know that I will have to ask someone about how to best do the wall treatments among other things.

The framing will be starting soon!

Awesome work victor-eyd.


Reading through this thread has pushed me over the edge - this weekend I'm building a screenwall for my 10'11" x 10'9" spare bedroom. Up to this point, we've just had our screen screwed to a painted plaster wall, with the speakers (Magnepan MMG's) hanging out in the room. My goal is something like what member luclin999 did in his Small Budget, Smaller Room build thread. I rendered it in sketchup last night - I hope to complete it this weekend.
