The Stargate Home Theater by Visual Concepts

Home theater designers Phil Chaney and Andrew Caldwell teamed up for this Stargate Home Theater that's ready for intergalactic travel.

The homeowner, a huge fan of the Stargate Atlantis TV series and movie, went to Chaney, president of the Louisville division of Visual Concepts, with the idea of recreating the Stargate Atlantis for his theater.

The theater features the iconic round "Stargate" as the frame for the screen that is 10 feet in diameter. There's also dual projectors, with one projecting a round water-filled scene.

"The Stargate took about three weeks to design, and Andrew had it assembled in only three days" says Chaney.

The ceiling has beams that lead to the fiber-optic StarDome from Numinus (six feet in diameter), a ready-to-install ceiling dome with a sky mural and twinkling stars. The StarDome cove light even dims to create a sunset effect.

Other features include: THX Series in-wall Atlantic Technology Audio speakers, two Sony CX777ES 400 disc players, a Blu-ray player and a complete Control4 control system.

"The Control4 automation system controls everything including the lighting effects for the theater which are highlighted by the StarDome cove lights, and the star scape effect created with the fiber-optics we like to set the cove at about 25 percent for a pink-orange sunset glow," says Chaney.

One of the coolest features: air-piston driven pocket doors that open by a hand-swipe motion sensor.

Shane McConnell of The Sound Answer created the acoustic sound panels by replicating the wall panels used on the Atlantis TV series.

"The shooting star catches everyone's attention," Chaney says.
