Home Cinema

A Seamless Smart Home and Outdoor Entertainment Experience

The brief

Potters Home Digital was invited to tender for a full smart home and AV installation at this project in Tenterden, a new-build residential property. We welcomed the contractor, Benning Brothers, along with the homeowners, to our showroom to explore the possibilities.

Following a guided tour of our showroom and Smart Home Garden, it became clear that we could support both the contractor and the client with a complete technology solution. The outdoor cinema demo was a particular highlight, inspiring the owners to create their own bespoke outdoor entertainment area.

The delivery

The brief evolved into a comprehensive project encompassing both indoor and outdoor AV systems, as well as whole-home connectivity. Highlights included:

Outdoor Audio & Cinema: We demonstrated our all-weather speaker systems and cinema display, which the client loved. This led to the design and installation of a dedicated outdoor audio zone with surround sound, a weatherproof TV, and cinema display for alfresco viewing.

Poolside Audio with Speaker Lifts: Initial plans included wall-mounted speakers for the hardscaped pool area, but once we discovered the pool would have a retractable roof, we re-specified to tower speakers integrated within the patio. To avoid visual impact, we installed automated speaker lifts that conceal the towers underground when not in use, delivering immersive sound at the touch of a button.

Home Cinema: A dedicated cinema room was designed and installed, offering a high-performance, cinematic experience in the comfort of home.

Whole Home Network: We delivered a robust network and WiFi solution to ensure reliable connectivity throughout the main house and adjoining gym building.

Multi-Room Audio & TVs: Samsung OLED screens, Sonos soundbars and speakers were installed throughout the ground floor, gym, and various living areas to provide easy, high-quality entertainment across the property.

The result is a beautifully integrated smart home, blending luxurious indoor entertainment with cutting-edge outdoor AV. From cinema-quality visuals to cleverly concealed poolside audio, the Tenterden project now enjoys a truly connected lifestyle, indoors and out.

James installed a new CCTV camera and updated the CCTV software on all our phones, tablets and PCs. He did a very good job and was very pleasant and helpful . We now have full coverage of our outdoor space which should mean less risk of intrusion and burglary. Thank you James!
