New York Metro, United States

Home Cinema Advisory in New York, United States

New York covers two distinct project types — reference-grade media rooms inside Manhattan apartments and townhouses, and dedicated screening rooms in the Hamptons, Westchester and Greenwich estates. Zebra works with both, with partner showrooms in the New York metro and access to specialist installers across the tri-state area.

Why an Independent Advisor

Why New York Homeowners Choose an Independent Cinema Advisor

Finance principals, founders, creative-industry executives and family offices building dedicated cinemas, screening rooms and media rooms across Manhattan, the outer boroughs, the Hamptons, Westchester and the Connecticut Gold Coast.

Zebra is a purely advisory practice — no equipment sales, no installation work. We translate your vision into a specification, coordinate the trade-only specialists who execute the build, and stay with you from first conversation to final calibration. The result is a room engineered around your priorities, not anyone else's.

Our Role

What Zebra Does (And Doesn't Do)

We DO

Sit on Your Side of the Table

Purely advisory — no equipment sales, no installation work. Your vision, your budget, your timeline — protected throughout the entire process.

We DO

Protect Your Budget

Detailed specifications, competitive bidding, and rigorous oversight ensure every dollar works toward the result you envisioned.

We DON'T

Install, Design, or Swing Hammers

We are purely advisory. We never sell equipment or pick up tools. That independence is what makes our guidance trustworthy.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work on Manhattan apartments or only houses?
Both. Manhattan apartments come with their own constraints — board approvals, neighbour-noise limits, weight loading on subwoofers, floor-to-ceiling height — and the specification has to respect them. We handle that scope as well as full-house builds.
What does a serious New York home cinema typically cost?
Manhattan media rooms sit roughly $80,000-$300,000 for the AV scope alone, with structural and acoustic work on top. Dedicated screening rooms in the Hamptons, Westchester and Greenwich estates typically run $200,000-$800,000+ when a ground-up construction is involved.
Can you arrange showroom demonstrations in the New York area?
Yes. Our partner network includes a reference showroom in the New York metro covering the leading brands. We arrange the visit, brief the room on your project, and (where useful) join the demonstration.
Do you collaborate with New York architects and designers?
Frequently. Most reference-grade builds in this market originate inside an architecture or interior design practice. Engaging us early means the cinema specification is treated as an architectural element, not an after-the-fact retrofit.
How does the advisory work remotely from outside the US?
The specification and supplier coordination is done remotely; site visits cluster around design milestones, installation oversight and final calibration. The advisory model is designed to function across borders.
