Pool by day.
Cinema by night.
A cinema-home experience built into the pool lounge of a private Al Khatm farm. The challenging part wasn't the audio — it was the ceiling. Skyline engineered a custom motorised lift so the projector drops only for screenings and disappears flush into the slatted ceiling the rest of the time, keeping the pool deck visually pure.
What we delivered.
Scope of works
- 10× 10W ceiling speakers driven by a smart amplifier
- Smart Android projector with HDMI + Wi-Fi sources
- Custom motorised ceiling lift — flush hide-away when not in use
- Motorised projection screen — auto-deploy on cinema scene
- One-tap scenes: Pool, Screening, Lounge

Delivery model
Skyline acts as a single point of contact across cabling, devices, network, commissioning, and post-handover support — so the client never has to coordinate between three subcontractors.
Three views of the install.
The pool lounge — projector hidden flush into the slatted ceiling, only revealing itself when the cinema scene is invoked.
Lighting dims, screen deploys, projector lift drops, ceiling speakers fade up — every device part of one scripted scene.
In-ceiling speakers tuned for the room volume — even coverage at conversational level and zero localisation when listening to music.
The numbers.
