Ashley Yeates and Alec Wright originally made headlines last year when they built a real-life hobbit hole under a dead apple tree in Yeates’ backyard.
Their original eye-catching creation, inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s
fantasy world, was a hit with the kids in the neighborhood, who she said
“literally spent the whole day in there -- just shutting themselves
inside and playing,” during a party she held shortly after it was
completed.
But now the dynamic duo has moved onto another fantastic backyard feature, completely destructing the hobbit hole and instead, “building something entirely different in its place.
“It's essentially a completely bespoke home-cinema stacked full of
features and designed in an authentic cinema style, but hidden away in
my garden,” Yeates wrote to ABC News of the silver screen viewing station, which is located directly above where the hobbit hole used to be.
The cabin is equipped with a starlight ceiling, a personal snack
counter, a 3-D projector with surround sound and sub-woofer speakers
under the seating platforms.
“There's even authentic theatre seating from the York Royal in Leeds -- the full works essentially,” she explained.
The space seats seven adults “very comfortably,” Yeates said. “I could
have made space for another four if I wanted, but I thought I'd
sacrifice capacity for leg-room and comfort.”
The building process of the backyard movie theater began in February.
The bulk of the project was done in about two months, but then it took
another few months to finish decorating the interior because “I like
things to be done well, not quickly,” she explained.
