Grand Designs Live is a ‘home event full of inspiration and expert advice’. From 4 - 12 May 2024, guests are invited to explore luxury design and innovative, sustainable home solutions in-situ in a stunning show home, exclusively built to ‘wow’ visitors at the show. At the Grand Designs Live Grand House, visitors can expect to experience 4K projection showing uncompressed UHD content from the Kaleidescape movie store with immersive Dolby Atmos surround sound, automated scene-setting, intelligent control systems, specialist home cinema furniture, and luxurious interior design. The Butler Harwell team will be able explore how different home cinema features can apply to each unique home.
Tom Butler, Founding Director of Butler Harwell comments: “We’re delighted to be exhibiting at the Grand House. We have crafted some beautiful cinemas in private properties that the greater public never gets to appreciate, so I’m excited to publicly showcase the enjoyment home cinema brings. We design and integrate transformative rooms for transportive experiences. What better way to demonstrate the scale of our craftsmanship than building a cinema room in a bare-frame exhibition space with minimal setup time. We can’t wait to give a flavour of home cinema luxury and what we can create in spaces of all sizes.”
Roy Ashby, Butler Harwell Co-Director, adds: “Home Cinema is increasingly popular, with more households opting to enjoy time at home as a family. Viewing behaviours have evolved to expect on-demand streaming of ‘binge-worthy’ series with narratives, action, and stellar casts worthy of a big screen. Although for many, the concept of Home Cinema is appealing, a homeowner may not have had the opportunity to appreciate how it really transfers in a home environment. At the Grand House, we intend to demonstrate how the right setting and best possible audio-visual quality can move people the way cinema is designed to be enjoyed. We will be showcasing how we can tailor various mood settings for different content and different audiences, for personalised, enhanced home entertainment.”
For Grand Designs Live visitors interested in how Lifestyle Technology can benefit them in their own homes, we have an additional stand in the main exhibition hall. We will be showcasing customisable cinema-quality loudspeakers for everyday living by Danish design pioneers Artcoustic on Stand D3. At Butler Harwell, we partner with brands who share our drive for continuous development, and appreciation for design. We are thrilled to showcase luxury AV systems by one of our valued specialist partners who have contributed to some beautiful projects we have completed.
Artcoustic have been engineering ground-breaking loudspeakers of unparalleled quality since 1998. Delivering cinema-quality sound true to its origin, their high performance, modular speakers are meticulously crafted by hand and customisable to complement any interior. Butler Harwell will be demonstrating the impressive power and crisp sound from Artcoustic’s unassuming modular loudspeakers on stand D3. Our team will help visitors explore how the loudspeakers can be personalised to suit their home interiors, with a a selection of NCS or RAL colours for cabinets, matching coloured screens, or digitally printed artwork.
Needless to say, Grand Designs Live is set to be an unmissable experience, where we simply cannot be missed - our loudspeakers will make sure of it. The Butler Harwell Cinema Room, is set in prime location as you first enter the Grand House, via the main entrance.
