Zene Private Theater faced a unique challenge when tasked with creating a perfect private cinema experience for an apartment-dwelling customer in Beijing. The client wanted to enjoy immersive movie nights without disturbing neighbours. Zene's ingenious solution involved building a soundproof room-within-a-room, detaching new cinema walls from the existing ones to minimise noise transmission.

Careful construction and a ‘floating’ floor design further enhanced sound isolation. Despite limited space, Zene achieved remarkable sound isolation, allowing the client to watch movies without disturbing neighbours.

For acoustic treatment, Zene used industry-leading sound panels from Quest Interiors and Arithmetic Design. Customising the panels to fit the unique room shapes, they provided excellent diffusion, making the room feel larger.

The client desired a stunning lake view from the cinema but maintaining audio and picture quality was a challenge. Zene proposed a soundproof glass sliding door for the rear wall. To address audio and sunlight issues, they installed double electric tracks and heavy velvet curtains, preserving the cinema's audiovisual experience.
To expand the client's streaming options, Zene set up a dedicated server in the US, allowing access to Netflix and other services via a special VPN. This complex network setup showcased Zene's expertise in overcoming challenges.

Ultimately, Zene Private Theater successfully crafted a soundproof cinematic oasis. The room-within-a-room design, combined with acoustic panels and the innovative glass door solution, ensured a captivating audio experience with a breathtaking lake view. Zene's ability to create state-of-the-art private cinemas solidifies their position as a leading name in cinema design for discerning architects and clients alike.
