Integrating a home theater into new construction unlocks possibilities impossible to achieve in retrofit conditions. 

For specifiers—architects, builders, and designers—these projects offer a chance to shape home entertainment spaces from the ground up, with deliberate intent and technical precision at the forefront of the project. When the objective is performance-driven design, no component can be left to improvisation.

We build every home theater space with Sony’s engineering excellence as a foundation. As a Diamond Dealer, we work exclusively with Sony’s reference-class projectors and receivers to deliver unmatched visual and auditory clarity.
