The quietintelligence of aremarkable home.
Automation, private cinema, lighting, security and networks, designed and installed for Toronto and Muskoka's finest residences since 1998.
Trusted with the home, and then the next one.
Cinema Systems began in 1998 with Morgan Millward designing private cinemas. Nearly three decades on, Morgan and his team design and install complete systems for estates, lakeside residences and new builds, and many families bring us to their second home, their cottage, and their children's first house.
Every project is led personally by Morgan, with more than forty years in the craft, from the first conversation to the final walk-through, and long after.
The gate opens as the car approaches. Path lights rise, the alarm disarms and the hall is lit before the door is reached.
Shades lower to follow the sun, just enough to keep the lake view and lose the glare.
One touch: the dining room settles to candle level and music follows your guests in from the terrace.
The screen wakes, the stars appear and the room disappears. Everyone in the family knows which button to press.
Every door locked, cameras watching, and the network quietly checking on it all until morning.

Six disciplines. One team.
The name says cinema. The work is the whole home, designed together and answered by one point of contact: Morgan.

Second homes. Second generations.
Our work is judged years after installation, when a family calls again for the cottage, the renovation, or their children's first home.
“Morgan was extremely helpful, giving me insight into the install and product in my new-to-me home… he was in no way pushy when it came to upgrades or sales. On multiple occasions he made suggestions that would actually result in me not spending money with him, but would achieve my goal.”
“We called Cinema Systems because my family has used them in the past for installing security, sound, and entertainment systems. Morgan was super patient with us.”
“Very knowledgeable with respect to home theatre set-up. Had an issue with my sound system about a year after the install and Morgan came by and fixed the problem in no time.”
“I love my new sound system! The music sounds amazing. Thank you for your excellent service, and great suggestions.”
Every remarkable home begins with a conversation.
