This elegant volume presents eleven theaters custom-designed by Theo Kalomirakis for an exclusive clientele.

Drawing upon his clients' personal tastes, memories, and fantasies, along with his own inspired passion for cinema and movie palaces, Kalomirakis has captured the splendor and spirit of the past, blending exciting architecture and interior design with the latest technology. Whether it be a businessman's sentimental gift to his wife or a famous actor's retreat from the limelight, each of Kalomirakis' theaters represents a dream fulfilled.
