What Keith Yates Design (KYD) Provides

Keith Yates Design Home Theater Construction

KYD is a leading design and engineering firm specializing in high-end private theaters and screening rooms. KYD uses a science-based approach supported by engineering tools and an in-house team of architects, engineers, interior designers, project managers, and construction administrators. 

Since 1991 KYD has focused on envisioning, modeling, optimizing, documenting, testing, and calibrating these venues for cinematographers, and technologists as well as everyday movie and music lovers that can afford their services. 

The goal is to make sure customers not only a have visually pleasing home theater layout, but that the layout enables all components to perform at their best and the client enjoying the best possible home theater experience without unwanted ambient noise, such as echos, projector fans and HVAC systems.

KYD offers three levels of service:

  1. Essentials – This is a basic version of KYD’s acoustic design and engineering elements that provide an excellent experience for those with a more limited budget.
  2. Red – A full-service design, engineering, construction drawings, and exhaustive testing. KYD stays with the client every step of the way to ensure that the customized interior design delivers the desired immersive experiences.
  3. Black Label – When cost is no object, Black label service provides R&D science to solve performance-limiting challenges that seem to have no known solution. Such projects have resulted in a number of our industry-first inventions.
