Highlights

A cost-effective, high-value smart home solution that benefits both builders and future homeowners.

1. From Blueprint to Build: We collaborate from the earliest architectural stage to integrate a complete low-voltage infrastructure and construction-ready foundation—ensuring seamless coordination with designers and avoiding costly future modifications.

2. Smart Budgeting: Builders can control costs by investing in essential systems upfront, while leaving room for homeowners to customize and upgrade later.

3. Future-Ready Living
: The design provides homeowners with a flexible, scalable system that adapts to evolving lifestyle needs without unnecessary expense.

4. Showcase Spaces: Key areas, such as the Family Room with a hidden home theater, blend clean aesthetics, intelligent lighting, and immersive AV performance—delivering both visual impact and everyday functionality.

5. Mutual Benefits: This balanced approach increases property value for builders and provides long-term convenience and upgrade options for homeowners.

This home embodies a true Luxury Smart Living experience with Lutron lighting, shading, and AV integration:

1. Whole-home scene-based lighting control, including cabinets, stair lighting, and outdoor fixtures.

2. Vacation Mode for security, simulating occupancy by automatically managing indoor and outdoor lights.

3. A Family Room Home Theater with hidden drop-down projector, 5.1 Dolby surround sound, Sonos ceiling speakers, and Lutron Triathlon shades.

4. Multiple intuitive control methods: Apple HomeKit voice commands, wall-mounted touchscreens, Lutron scene keypads, and mobile apps.

5. Integration with Apple ecosystem devices such as security cameras and video doorbells.

Lutron is engineered for flawless performance and reliability:

1. Perfectly synchronized shades with Hembar Alignment™ technology, ensuring all the shades rise and lower in harmony across the entire home.

2. Motor protection & power stability through Lutron-grade panels, safeguarding long-term operation—even for oversized or extra-tall windows.

3. Custom fit solutions for every architectural detail, from narrow openings to floor-to-ceiling glass walls.

4. Backed by an industry-leading 8-year warranty on Triathlon shades, offering unmatched value and peace of mind.

Smart technology that elevates daily living with elegance:

1. Whisper-quiet shade motors, delivering serene operation even when 20+ shades move simultaneously.

2. Fabric variety tailored to each room: blackout shades in bedrooms for restful sleep, and sheer fabrics in shared spaces to filter natural light while maintaining outdoor views.

3. Minimalist controls that blend into the design—scene keypads, lighting switches, and shade toggles—preserving clean wall aesthetics while making operation intuitive.

4. Seamless compatibility with Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Google Assistant, and more, ensuring the system grows with your lifestyle.
