As discussed on some of my earlier postings, we decided to go with a "hybrid" theatre that is open in the rear with a bar and seating for five. This will work well for general entertainment, having people over for the game, etc... We're trying to fit a lot into a relatively small basement area, so the most we could squeeze out of the theatre is 13' wide and 14.5' long. There will be one row of seating along the back and upon entering the theatre, you will step down to the front of the theatre that will be sunken. We thought this would give it some dimension/interest since there will only be one row of seating. The plan is for some large bean bags for kids in that sunken area.
Please take a look at the attached plan and let me know your thoughts. One thing we need to decide is sliding barn door or standard door for entering the theatre. Again, we thought the barn door might give it some interest. The perimeter of the ceiling will have a simple drywall soffit with crown molding to facilitate accent lighting. There will be a thick heavy curtain along the rear bar area that can be closed for "movie mode". I will likely tie that into the home automation.
Love to hear your thoughts and feedback! Just understand that finding more space for a larger theatre is the one and only thing I can NOT change. I was lucky to get this much sq. footage approved by DW for something she'll hardly ever use!
