A beautiful home cinema still needs to work reliably.

In this Camps Bay room, video problems were interrupting the family’s enjoyment—particularly when using the PlayStation 5. We tested the existing HDMI signal path, upgraded the cable to the projector, installed an Anthem MRX 1140 and added four M&K overhead speakers for Dolby Atmos.

It was a focused upgrade to an existing room, completed in time for a family party.

A three-storey home needs its technology to work from room to room—not just in the lounge.

During this Bantry Bay renovation, we planned the network, Wi-Fi, television distribution and music as one installation. Five Wi-Fi access points serve the property, while Sonos brings music to the kitchen, gym and main lounge. The family’s Bang & Olufsen BeoSound 9000 remained part of the system too.

It’s a good example of designing around how each room is used, while keeping the whole home connected.

One room, two very different experiences.

In this Oranjezicht home, the illuminated bar is part of the room when the cinema is off. When it’s time to watch a film, motorised blinds close over the glazing and a custom drawer moves the client’s projector into position.

Mirror Edge Networks designed the cinema in association with Sphere Custom Design and carried out the AV installation and integration. Definition Automation helped create the projector mechanism, while GFP Lighting supplied the specialist lighting.

What should you do with a Bang & Olufsen system you still love, but no longer use as often as you’d like?

The answer isn’t automatically to replace it. We can assess the existing equipment, cabling and controls, then look at practical ways to reconnect it, introduce current sources or plan an upgrade.

Every system is different, so compatibility and repair options need checking first. The aim is to keep what still works beautifully and make the whole system easier to enjoy.

This Durbanville cinema was planned while the new house was still being built. That gave us the chance to coordinate the speakers, screen, cabling and lighting before the room was finished.

The result includes a floating 120-inch projection screen, M&K Dolby Atmos sound and a custom rear-wall lighting feature made with more than 30 individual fittings.

The technology behind a smart home should be as carefully considered as the rooms you see.

In this five-storey Camps Bay residence, Mirror Edge Networks rebuilt the central equipment room around three dedicated racks. Networking, audio, video and Control4 equipment each have a clear place, with colour-coded cabling and accessible connections to make future servicing simpler.

Mirror Edge Networks has completed the ultimate Control4 home automation takeover project in Camps Bay, Cape Town. Over the past few weeks we have been having fairly constant conversations with our client regarding the AV equipment in his house and the small gremlins that were creeping into the dail...

What if your living room could become a home cinema only when you wanted it to?

For this Hout Bay home, we designed and built a cinema into an open-plan living area. A custom enclosure above the glazing conceals the motorised projection screen and front M&K speakers. When the screen retracts, the room returns to everyday life, with its natural light and connection to the garden.

Technology should enhance a home without dominating it.

For this Val de Vie residence, Mirror Edge Networks became involved during the planning phase to create a reliable foundation for the entire property. The finished system includes:

• Whole-home networking and Wi-Fi
• Sonos multiroom audio
• UHD video distribution with DStv and Apple TV
• Control4 for straightforward daily operation
• A motorised drop-down television in the main bedroom
• Bang & Olufsen BeoLab 5 speakers
• Independent outdoor audio zones
• A professionally organised, colour-coordinated equipment rack

It is a complete example of technology being carefully integrated into the architecture and lifestyle of a home.

A little look around our Kalk Bay home cinema. 🎬

The goal was to create a cinema that delivers the big-screen experience without losing the warmth and character of this cosy room in the house.
