Outdoor cinema screen under palms at night
Studio—Home Cinema & Media

Cinema & media,
from the media wall to movie night on the roof.

A screen recessed into joinery we built, a soundbar you can’t see, a projector that drops from the palapa beam for the rooftop movie night. Designed with the room, wired before the plaster, and set up for the streaming services that actually work here.

No. 01 — Media Walls

Media walls — the screen recessed, the cables gone, the room intact.

A TV on a bracket is a rental. A media wall — screen flush in the joinery, soundbar behind fabric, console below with the boxes inside, lit shelves either side — is a home. Built locally to your wall and your equipment.

No. 02 — Cinema & Den

Cinema rooms and dens — the one dark room in a bright house.

Every home in the Riviera Maya is glass and light. The den is the exception — blackout, acoustic panels in linen, a projector or a big screen, a sofa built for lying down. Where the family watches the game and the guests wait out the rain.

No. 03 — Outdoor Cinema

Outdoor cinema — movie night under the palms.

A projector on the palapa beam, a screen that drops between the posts or a wall we plaster smooth, outdoor speakers under the shade, and a daybed row. The rooftop feature guests write home about — and the one that photographs at night.

—How It Works

How a home cinema installation is done.

Media rooms and outdoor screens, built into the architecture instead of bolted onto it.

coastal deck dish — measure the room and the light01

Measure the room and the light

Seating distance sets the screen size, and the light coming in decides whether it is a projector or a panel. We measure both before recommending either.

modern villa entry — specify the system02

Specify the system

Screen or projector, sound, sources and control, chosen to work as one and to be serviceable here. Outdoor screens specified for the weather.

living room light — build it in03

Build it in

Cabling, back boxes, mounts and joinery in before the finishes, so the cables disappear and the equipment has somewhere to breathe.

Calibrated and explained

Picture and sound calibrated, one remote that works, and a walkthrough. A guest should be able to start a film without calling you.

FAQ

Cinema & media — questions, answered.

Can you hide the TV and the cables in an existing condo?

Yes. A media wall built to your wall recesses the screen and hides everything in the joinery — no chasing the concrete. Where the wall is too shallow, a frame TV over a console gets most of the way.

Will an outdoor projector survive the coast?

In a weather housing under shade, yes — we mount them on the palapa or pergola beam, out of the rain and the sun, and specify brightness for a screen that is watchable before it is fully dark.

Does streaming work with the internet here?

With the right connection — fibre or Starlink and a wired drop to the media wall — yes. We set up the services that work reliably in Mexico and, for rentals, a profile that logs guests out at check-out.

How big a screen should I get?

It depends on the seating distance and the light in the room; most living rooms here take 65–75″ comfortably, dens 85″ or a projector. We tell you the honest size for the room, not the biggest one.

Can the media wall match the rest of the furniture?

It is built by the same local makers, in the same wood, by the same people who built your dining table. That is the point.

How long does it take?

The joinery is built locally while the room is wired, and the schedule is set in writing at design sign-off — media wall, outdoor cinema or a den from scratch.
