The room, not the equipment. Acoustics, sightlines, light control and the joinery that hides all of it, designed around the kit you choose, or the kit you already own.
We build the room. Your AV specialist chooses the kit.
A home theatre is an interiors problem wearing an electronics costume. Speakers matter far less than the surfaces around them: a room with parallel hard walls and a tile floor will make expensive equipment sound worse than modest equipment in a treated room. Our scope is the room, acoustic treatment behind fabric, riser and seating layout set from the screen size, complete light control, and joinery that swallows the cabling, the rack and the subwoofer. We work alongside whichever AV integrator you use, or introduce one. A dedicated room in Bengaluru typically starts around ₹4.5 lakh and runs past ₹15 lakh.
The five decisions
What actually determines whether it works.
01
Seating distance sets screen size
Not the other way round. Distance from the screen fixes the size that fills the right field of view; picking a 120-inch screen first and then discovering the room is 11 feet deep is the most common and most expensive mistake.
02
First reflection points
The side-wall and ceiling points where sound bounces to your ear before the direct sound arrives. Treating those three or four square metres does more than any speaker upgrade.
03
Light control, then light design
Blackout first, a genuine seal, not a curtain that glows at the edges. Then low-level layered lighting on a scene controller, because a room you cannot see to walk through is not a room people use.
04
Where the heat goes
A rack of equipment in a sealed cabinet in Bengaluru will throttle in summer. Ventilated joinery with a path for air is designed in, not retrofitted with a hole saw.
05
Everything is cabled before plaster
HDMI, speaker runs, network and trigger cables go in with conduit and pull strings while the walls are open. Adding one later means opening a wall you have just paid to finish.
Where it goes
Dedicated room, or the living room.
Approach
Typical scope
Typical range
Media wall in a living room
Joinery, concealed cabling, lighting scene, acoustic panel behind the screen
₹1.8L – ₹4L
Converted bedroom
Full treatment, riser, blackout, ventilated rack joinery
₹4.5L – ₹9L
Dedicated room in a villa
Isolated construction, tiered seating, star ceiling, full scene control
₹9L – ₹15L+
Equipment is excluded from all of these and quoted by your AV supplier, which keeps the two decisions separate and lets you compare each one properly.
Questions
Asked and answered.
No, deliberately. AV equipment moves fast and is better bought from a specialist who will calibrate it. We design the room around the specification, coordinate the install, and make sure every cable and mounting point is there before the walls close.
Yes, with realistic expectations about bass. Full structural isolation is rarely practical in a flat, so we treat the room properly, control the low end, and agree where the compromise sits before you spend anything.
A media wall adds little to a normal programme. A dedicated room is typically 45 to 60 days from design sign-off, and it has to be sequenced with the electrical first fix rather than added afterwards.
Better. We design to what you have. Bring the model numbers at the first meeting; screen size, throw distance and speaker positions all fall out of them.
