Home Theater

A display can disappear into the room, turn toward the view, or make an ordinary night feel cinematic. We design picture and sound around the way you actually live.

Home theater, designed around your room

Start with how you actually watch.

Not every home needs a dedicated cinema, and not every TV should be the loudest thing on the wall. Some rooms want a screen that quietly disappears into art or millwork; others deserve a space built for the moment the lights go down. We design picture and sound around the way you live—where you sit, what the wall is made of, and what should vanish when the movie ends. Here are the four directions most projects take.

Dedicated Home Theater

A room built for the moment the lights go down.

When a room can be devoted to movies, every decision serves the experience—seating, screen scale, light control, acoustics, and sound all working as one. It is the right project when you want cinema-grade image and sound without compromise, and when the house can give a room over to it. We handle everything from risers and sightlines to Kaleidescape and calibration, so the finished room feels effortless the night you use it.

Frame TV & Art Mode Displays

The TV that reads as art—until you turn it on.

Samsung’s Frame TV disappears into your wall as framed art when you are not watching. It is the right choice for living rooms and bedrooms where a black rectangle would feel wrong—and the wrong choice if you are chasing picture performance above everything else. We will tell you which one you are.

Hidden & Invisible TVs

There when you want it. Gone when you don’t.

A screen can live behind millwork, lift out of a cabinet, or lower from the ceiling so the wall reads as architecture the rest of the time. It is the answer when a TV would compete with a view, a fireplace, or a room you would rather not build around a screen. Every solution starts with the wall and how the room is actually used.

Large-Format Displays (100"+)

Cinematic scale, no projector required.

A 100-inch-and-up display can make a living room feel like a theater while staying bright in daylight. It is the most specialized choice in this cluster—seating distance, wall construction, and how the screen belongs in the room matter as much as the diagonal. When the room supports it, the result is extraordinary.

Start where the house is

From a better TV room to a completely new experience.

You do not need to be building a dedicated cinema to make watching at home better. We meet the project at the scale that makes sense.

  • Update the system already in the room.
  • Make the most of a remodel.
  • Design a room around a whole theater redesign.
  • Integrate picture, sound, lighting, shades, and millwork during a new home or full-home redesign.

We work closely with architects, interior designers, and general contractors so the technology supports the home they are creating.

We are based in Marin and work throughout San Francisco and Sonoma County, with projects in Napa County, the Peninsula, and the East Bay. Every room gets the same close attention—whether we are refreshing an existing system or helping shape a home still on paper.
