The Walnut Gallery Theatre, Khanapur, Hyderabad

This theatre was envisioned by a retired homeowner looking to retrofit an existing room into a warm, private cinema. The goal was simple and personal — a calm, comfortable space to enjoy films with his wife and create memorable movie nights with visiting grandchildren. Rather than chasing excess, the focus was on subtle ambience, balanced sound, and a timeless theatrical feel that invites long, relaxed viewing sessions.

Project Highlights:

• Retrofitted dedicated cinema within a 14’ × 20’ × 12’ room

• 150” projection screen designed for immersion without visual excess

• Warm wood finishes paired with fabric-wrapped acoustic panels for a timeless theatre aesthetic

• Integrated acoustic treatments to manage reflections and bass while preserving natural warmth

• Soft, layered strip lighting that enhances texture without distraction

• 5.1 surround system using JBL speakers, tuned for relaxed, fatigue-free listening

• Onkyo NR7100 AV receiver, calibrated to suit the room and listening preferences

• Epson TW9400 4K projector delivering rich colour and cinematic contrast
