Château Rêve, brought to life by the integrative prowess of Maxicon, stands as a testament to the synergy between technology and design, representing a modern Floridian marvel.
Over seven years in the making, this ambitious project saw a collaboration of notable experts including architect Enrique Feldman, lighting designer Ailyn Bandel, and interior designer Alejandro Barrios. Their combined vision created a space where modernity, art, and nature are flawlessly intertwined, fulfilling the client's desire for a home that epitomizes both aesthetic elegance and technological sophistication.
Château Rêve was conceived with a clear vision: to create a living space that is not only functional but also transcendent in its design. The client placed a high value on vibrant natural lighting and a versatile lighting system, leading to the specification of a comprehensive Lutron lighting system. This system was meticulously designed to highlight the extensive art collection adorning the residence, ensuring each piece is showcased to its fullest potential. The Lutron system's ability to manage multiple layers and scenes of lighting allows for tailored ambiance in every room, whether it's a bright, welcoming environment or a subdued, intimate setting.
A key feature of Château Rêve is the seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. This fluid transition is enhanced by sound and light, with discreet outdoor speakers from Coastal Source providing high-quality audio without disrupting the visual landscape. Inside, the custom Leon Speaker soundbar aligns perfectly with the TV’s specific measurements, ensuring aesthetic coherence while delivering superior sound quality.
One of the most innovative aspects of this project is the integration of an infinity pool with a state-of-the-art underwater sound system. This allows for an exceptional auditory experience, transforming the pool area into an immersive sound environment. Complementing this are the Coastal Source loudspeakers integrated into the garden and patio areas, ensuring that outdoor entertaining is accompanied by high-quality audio. Indoors, Origin Acoustics in-ceiling speakers provide a seamless listening experience throughout the home, maintaining audio continuity from room to room.
The media room in Château Rêve exemplifies the integration of technology without compromising aesthetics. Here, the brief was to conceal all technological elements behind non-intrusive acoustic designs. The result is a space that offers an immersive audio-visual experience while maintaining the room’s visual appeal. This balance of functionality and design is further exemplified by the house-wide music system, controlled effortlessly through the user-friendly Savant control system.
Lighting also plays a critical role in enhancing the home’s art collection. Adjustable lighting temperatures are specifically designed to showcase and enhance each piece, with the Lutron lighting system offering comprehensive control. This tailored approach ensures that every artwork is highlighted to its best effect, creating a dynamic visual experience for residents and guests alike.
Durability was another crucial factor for the client, particularly for outdoor technology. All outdoor speakers and lighting systems were chosen for their ability to withstand varying weather conditions, ensuring longevity and consistent performance regardless of environmental factors. This consideration underscores the meticulous planning that went into every aspect of Château Rêve, ensuring that both form and function are preserved over time.
Today, Château Rêve stands as a pinnacle of integrated modern design, where technology enhances rather than detracts from the living experience. The collaboration of Maxicon with acoustic consultant Sergio Molho from WSDG and other esteemed partners resulted in a home that exceeds expectations, providing effortless daily living in an environment where every detail has been thoughtfully considered.
