Dominion private cinema
The commission

A measured process, from first conversation to the final frame.

A Dominion commission is deliberate and collaborative. Each stage is designed to remove uncertainty, for you and for the architects and builders we work alongside, so the finished room is exactly as imagined.

We do not sell a package. We accept a commission, and we treat the room as a singular work, engineered around your space, your architecture and the way you live.

I

Private consultation

An unhurried, obligation-free conversation, at our studio or on site. We listen first: the ambition for the space, how you intend to use it, the architecture it must live within, and the standard you expect. No specifications, no pressure. Simply understanding the brief.

Outcome · A shared vision & scope
II

Spatial assessment & survey

We gather everything the design depends on: floorplans, elevations, site measurements and the constraints that matter: ceiling bulkheads, services, HVAC, glazing and structure. If you are mid-build, we coordinate directly with your architect and builder so nothing is left to chance.

Outcome · A complete site picture
III

Acoustic & geometric modelling

The heart of the commission. Your room is modelled and engineered: room ratios and modes, speaker dispersion, sightlines for every seat, and acoustic treatment resolved to measurable targets, in line with CEDIA RP22, Dolby, THX and SMPTE references. This is where physics and architecture are reconciled.

Outcome · An engineered blueprint
IV

Aesthetic & material curation

Performance and beauty, decided together. Finishes, fabrics, seating, lighting and detailing are curated to sit quietly within the interior, so the engineering disappears and only the design remains. You see the room before it is built, through considered renders.

Outcome · A resolved aesthetic
V

Build & integration

Documentation handed to trades, and integration managed on site by a single point of contact. Isolation, treatment, concealed speakers, screen, lighting and control are installed to the drawings, with the disciplined communication that long, complex builds demand.

Outcome · The room, realised
VI

Commissioning & handover

Reference calibration to ISF/HAA standards across every seat, the control system programmed to a single intuitive gesture, and a considered handover so the room performs exactly as intended from the first frame, and continues to, with our ongoing support.

Outcome · Reference performance, effortlessly controlled
What you receive

Documentation worthy of the room.

  • A complete engineering document set: layouts, sections and details
  • An interactive 3D render & virtual walkthrough of the room
  • Acoustic reports: room ratios, axial resonance and RT60 targets
  • Speaker dispersion & sightline analysis for every seat
  • Engineering notes for trades and contractors
  • Reference calibration report on completion
Assurances

Why clients and architects trust the process.

A considered timeline

Design typically delivered within around two weeks of survey; build programmes planned and communicated in step with your architect and builder.

Backed for the long term

The private-commission division of CHT Solutions, with procurement scale and operational stability behind every commission.

One point of contact

A single dedicated lead from first conversation to final calibration, so nothing is lost between stages.
