The private cinema, engineered as architecture.
Acoustically exact. Visually invisible. Effortlessly commanded. Dominion designs and builds exceptional private cinemas for those who will accept nothing less than the filmmaker’s exact intent.
A room is not decorated with technology. It is composed, surface by surface, until the walls disappear and only the story remains.
Three disciplines behind every uncompromised room.
Acoustic architecture
We treat the room itself as an instrument. Geometry, materials and treatment are engineered to measurable targets (decay times, room modes and bass management) in line with CEDIA RP22, Dolby, THX and SMPTE references.
Architectural invisibility
True luxury is felt, not seen. Acoustically transparent screens, plaster-in and concealed speakers, fabric-wrapped walls and hidden projection deliver reference-grade performance with zero visual footprint.
Sovereign control
Complexity reduced to a single, intuitive gesture. Lighting, screen, processor, shades and climate resolve into one effortless command. Technology in service of the experience, never the other way around.
Most of the investment is what you’ll never see.
A reference cinema is built in layers. Explore what sits behind the finishes: the structure, acoustics and systems that make the room disappear and the film take over.
A measured process, from first conversation to final calibration.
Consultation
A private, obligation-free conversation to understand the space, the ambition and the architecture it must live within.
Acoustic & geometric modelling
Your room is modelled and engineered. Sightlines, dispersion, treatment and structure resolved to exact standards.
Material curation
Finishes, fabrics and detailing selected to sit quietly within the interior and the design intent.
Commissioning & calibration
Reference calibration and a considered handover, so the room performs exactly as intended from the first frame.
Honest starting points, itemised in full.
Every commission is bespoke, but you deserve a frame of reference before you pick up the phone. These are genuine starting investments. Where your project lands depends on the room, the structure and the finish.
A standout media room: premium processing and amplification, floorstanding or in-wall speakers, dual subwoofers, a quality screen or large display, and a clean, concealed install.

Indicative starting investments. The estimator below breaks down where the budget goes, and how payments stage safely across the build.
The Dream Cinema Estimator.
Tell us about the room and the result you want. We’ll show an indicative range, where the budget actually goes, and how payments stage safely across the build. No email required.
Your capital is tied to the build, not to a deposit.
Rather than a large upfront deposit, payments are released against completed, physical milestones, so your money always tracks real progress on site.
A company you can verify.
Dominion is the private-commission division of CHT Solutions, an established, financially stable Australian business, not a start-up taking deposits.
The relationship doesn’t end at handover.
A reference room is a living system. Dominion Care keeps yours performing exactly as commissioned, for as long as you own it.
Annual recalibration
A scheduled return to re-measure and re-tune picture and sound to reference as gear, firmware and the room settle in.
Remote monitoring
Discreet health-checks on processors and projector, catching issues before you ever notice them.
Priority support
A direct line to the team who built the room. Priority response and on-site service when it matters.
Future-proofing
Considered upgrade paths as formats and hardware evolve, so the room stays current without starting over.
Private rooms, quietly extraordinary.
You’re commissioning people, not a logo.
Scott
Every Dominion commission is led personally, from first conversation to final calibration. Supplying and installing reference systems across Australia since 2009 means your room is designed by someone who has built and tuned hundreds of them, and who will still answer the phone years later.
Hear a reference room before you commission one.
Spend an unhurried hour in our private reference theatre. Bring the films and music you know best, hear a fully calibrated system on your own material, and ask anything, with no salesperson hovering and no pressure to decide.
The design pedigree of a boutique studio, backed by national procurement scale and operational stability, built since 2009.
Dominion is the private-commission division of CHT Solutions. Hardware is sourced through national volume and tier-one supplier relationships built over more than a decade, so your budget goes into master craftsmanship, structural acoustics and architectural integration.
Technology that conforms to your design, never the reverse.
We speak the language of architecture. Engage us at the drafting stage and we make reference-grade performance disappear into your blueprint, protecting the clean lines and finishes that define your work.
- Specification and documentation from the concept phase
- Concealed, plaster-in and acoustically transparent integration
- Single point of contact and disciplined project communication
- CPD sessions for studios on integrating AV into architecture
