Private Theatres & Media Rooms

The big screen is the filmmaker's canvas. A convincing, engaging world is created with carefully selected actors, artfully constructed sets and meticulously shot scenes. At Barco Residential, we share the movie director’s passion and commitment to the ‘suspension of disbelief’ that is so important in the art of movie-making. Our mission: to envelop film buffs with an exceptional film experience that truly honors the director’s vision.

What better way to spend a night than to cozy up to your loved ones and be completely immersed in your favorite movie – all in the privacy of your own home.

Cinema design

If you asked most people to describe a private theatre, the description would likely include a projector mounted onto a pole at the rear of the room. That’s not what most people would consider aesthetically pleasing… With Barco Residential, the projectors do not need to be visible at all. With correct system design, even a large and powerful projector can be hidden inside the ceiling with an appropriate system design.

Seamless home cinema integration

Early collaboration between designers and Custom Integrators transforms private cinema rooms. By integrating technology discreetly from the start, projectors can be hidden in ceilings, walls, or adjacent rooms, leveraging features like Barco's Warp Engine for flexible placement. Custom mounts and hush boxes further ensure technology is invisible. This proactive approach guarantees a beautifully designed room with uncompromised performance.
