Cherry Hills Theater — Dedicated Home Cinema
A purpose-built cinema where the acoustics were designed before the finishes — reference projection, immersive surround, and a room that disappears when the lights drop.

Seating
Two tiered rows on a riser
Audio
Object-based immersive surround
The challenge
The room was a rectangular basement space with hard surfaces, a low soffit, and mechanical noise bleeding through one wall. The clients wanted reference performance without the room reading as a black box.
Our approach
We modeled the room acoustically before selecting a single product — seating distances, speaker angles, and first-reflection points were set on drawings.
Isolation and treatment were built into the construction: decoupled wall assemblies, absorption behind the acoustically transparent screen wall, and bass traps hidden in the soffit.
Fabric, millwork, and lighting were coordinated with the designer so the treatment reads as an intentional interior, not as foam on a wall.
The result
Dialogue is intelligible at any seat, the low end is even front to back, and a single button dims the lights, closes the shades upstairs, and starts the film.

Acoustics first, finishes second
Every performance decision was made before the drywall went up. The screen wall is acoustically transparent with the front three channels behind it at ear height, and the side and height channels are placed to the immersive-audio layout rather than to what was convenient in the framing.
Lighting that sets the mood
Layered theater lighting — step, cove, sconce, and a fiber-optic star ceiling — runs on dimmable scenes tied to playback. Press play and the room fades to the right level on its own; pause and the aisles come up just enough to move safely.
