Media rooms and home cinemas.

Multipurpose media rooms, hybrid theaters, and dedicated cinemas. Picture, sound, acoustics, seating, light, and control are designed as one room.

A dedicated home cinema with two tiers of seating

What is the difference between
a media room and a home cinema?

A media room is a family room, basement, or pool house that also performs at reference level. A dedicated cinema is built only for picture and sound, with tiered seating and controlled light. OneTen designs both, and the hybrid in between.

Questions worth asking early.

Can an existing theater be improved?

Yes. We measure the room, then change what makes the largest difference first, usually calibration, acoustics, or the screen.

Will the room still work as a living space?

Yes. In a media room the performance is there when you want it, and the room serves daily life the rest of the time.
