Retro-futurism is a trend that’s all the rage these days with geeks and connoisseurs alike. And for those who have a thing for sci-fi and steampunk with money to splurge, here’s the best of both worlds – A Shipwrecked Submarine Home Theater. This fascinating submarine home theater is the play room of a Canterbury man, Wayne Eyre, who splurged $100,000 on getting this wrecked submarine featuring “plutonium-leaking” torpedoes inside his Spencerville property. This rarefied submarine home theater is further tricked out with all the best of equipment and furniture including reclining chairs, a three-meter big-screen TV and a top-notch surround-sound system. Custom wood has been sprayed with concrete and painted to resemble rusting steel beams, while plastic sheets have been melted to give the impression of bent steel ripped apart when the submarine hit an island. Speakers emit sonar and ocean sounds throughout the 12-meter by 5.5m room.
The luxurious home theater room features a bar at one end of the room, which has been created from materials likely to be found on a deserted island. Shelves have been made out of halved tree trunks, while there is a washed-up surfboard. Every little detail is taken care of to make it as realistic as possible. The bar top is engraved with the random writings of a shipwrecked soul, while vines work their way through the submarine and smoke seeps out of interior walls. Dean Johnstone, who was the chief signwriter for Peter Jackson’s King Kong film, is the one responsible for bringing a dose of drama to Wayne’s Spencerville property with this submarine home theater.
Now that reminds us of another opulent Nautilus-Themed Home Theater from Dillon Works, that was equally fantastical. Wondering if this one is inspired by the Nautilus Victorian submarine themed home theater?
