We design and build the spaces other people only talk about: cinema rooms, outdoor entertainment areas, bars, games rooms. We deliver them finished, to one considered standard.

02 How we work

We design and build the whole room — one studio, start to finish.

What we do

Full design & build, for private clients

We design the space, specify every component and deliver it finished — managed end to end from your first sketch to handover. The room, its joinery, its AV, its lighting and its finishing, all held to one standard, with a single point of accountability.

  • Concept design & cinematic walkthroughs
  • Full technical specification
  • Joinery, AV, lighting & finishing
  • Single point of accountability
03 The process

From first conversation to the day you walk in, managed as one continuous piece of work.

01

Brief & consult

We start with the room, how you'll use it and the budget that's realistic, all before a single line is drawn.

02

Design & visualise

You see the space as a cinematic walkthrough before we build it. Nothing is left to imagination or chance.

03

Build

Delivered by our own trusted trades, to the drawings and the standard we set. Not subcontracted out and hoped for.

04

Handover

Finished, commissioned and working. We hand over a room that's ready to use, not a snag list.

04 The studio

We treat a room the way an architect treats a building. Nothing here is off the shelf.

Top Corner is a small studio that designs and builds bespoke entertainment spaces. We work the way we'd want our own homes done: considered, precise and finished to a standard most installers don't reach for.

Designing these rooms since 2008 — cinema rooms first, now any space worth spending time in.

Based in Idridgehay, Derbyshire

05 Common questions

A few things worth knowing before you get in touch.

What kinds of spaces do you design?

Cinema rooms are where we started, but we now design any space made for enjoying — home cinemas, golf simulators, bars, games rooms, garden buildings and outdoor entertaining. If it's a room built around relaxing or having people over, it's our kind of project.

Where do you work?

Based in Idridgehay, Derbyshire and working across the Midlands as standard. Beyond that, our clients tend to take us with them — to second homes and other properties, through recommendations, or simply because they want our particular way of working. If the project's right, distance isn't the deciding factor.

How early should I involve you?

As early as you can — ideally at the ideas stage. We put huge weight on how a room will actually be used, and showing that before anything's built is the surest way to avoid layout mistakes you can't undo later. Our design often shapes how the building itself is sectioned and laid out. Getting the decisions made up front is also the best way to keep a build moving — fewer delays, and often a lower cost for it.

Do you work alongside my architect or installer?

For private clients we usually design and build the room end to end, including the AV within it — one point of accountability. If you've an architect on the wider project, or a separate installer handling whole-home control and automation, we'll work alongside them so the room sits neatly into the bigger picture.

What budget should I have in mind?

Every space is bespoke, so cost follows the brief, the size and the level of finish. We take on a small number of projects at a time and work to a high standard, so we suit clients who see the room as a proper investment. We'll talk budget openly and early, so the design is built around what's realistic.
