Home theater. Engineered to the seat.
A theater done right is a tuned room first and a screen second. Reference projection, tuned surround, and acoustic treatment, built into the room so one press dims the lights and starts the film.
Picture and sound, held to reference.
A dedicated home theater is a room engineered around one job: holding picture and sound to a reference standard at the seat where you actually sit. That means projection sized to the throw and the screen, surround placed by the geometry of the room, and acoustic treatment that keeps dialogue clear and bass tight.
This is for homeowners building or renovating a dedicated cinema, a media room that doubles as family space, or a flexible room that performs as both. We engineer the theater as one system, working from the framing stage so the projector mount, speaker backing, conduit, riser, and rack are planned into the room, not negotiated around it later.
When the room is built, we commission it: we set the projection, balance the surround to the primary seat, and collapse control to a single press. Then we stay on for service, because a theater that drifts out of tune is one you stop using.

A commissioned project in this discipline. The full case study and gallery live on the work page.
Scoped, built, serviced.
Who we serve.
New builds and major renovations; dedicated cinemas, media rooms, and dual-purpose family theaters; homeowners working with architects, builders, and interior designers.
Engineered to the primary seat, not a spec sheet. Projection, surround, and acoustics designed as one room.
Scoped from the framing stage so mounts, backing, conduit, and rack are built in, never retrofitted.
Commissioned in person and serviced in-house, so the room stays at reference.
Questions, answered.
What is included in a home theater install?
Projection or a large-format display, the screen, surround speakers and amplification, acoustic treatment, the rack, low-voltage wiring, and the control system, plus coordination of seating sightlines, lighting, and shades. Each is scoped to your room rather than a fixed package.
Can you do this in an existing room, or only a new build?
Both. A new build or full renovation is ideal because we get wiring, mounts, and acoustic backing in before the walls close. We also retrofit existing rooms regularly, and are honest about the trade-offs first.
Which brands do you use?
We engineer to the room, then select equipment to suit it. We are a Lutron Platinum dealer and use Crestron for control, and choose projection, audio, and acoustic products for the room's size, light, and budget. The goal is the result at the seat.
How long does a home theater take?
In a new build it follows the construction schedule. From a finished room, a typical project runs several weeks from scope to commissioning, depending on equipment lead times and acoustic work. You get a real schedule after we walk the room.
What happens after it is installed?
We commission the room in person and hand it over working. After that, service is in-house: one number reaches the team that built the room, keeping it at reference as software updates and equipment age.
