Best Integrated Home Global Winner

Modern Lakefront Intelligent Estate

This expansive Florida estate was built for a family that wanted the very best in comfort, technology, and design. They asked for a home that felt modern and intuitive, with lighting, entertainment, security, and climate all working together in a simple and natural way. ZIO was brought in early to help shape the infrastructure, the lighting experience, and the overall approach to smart living.

By combining Ketra lighting, Lutron HomeWorks QSX, Control4 automation, and Josh.ai voice control, ZIO created a home that adapts to any moment. From dramatic lighting scenes to hands-free commands and powerful entertainment spaces, every room feels connected and easy to enjoy.

Design Challenges and Smart Fixes

Cove lighting and ceiling details changed during construction

ZIO worked closely with the general contractor to adjust fixture placement and rework shade pockets until each architectural feature aligned perfectly.

Incorporating Ketra LS0 linear fixtures into custom shelving

Custom wiring and careful coordination with the millwork team ensured every fixture blended beautifully while remaining serviceable.

Matching lighting to Florida’s natural daylight throughout the day

Ketra Natural Light curves were fine-tuned so interior lighting follows the sun’s warm tones as it rises and sets over the lake.

Large, open-concept spaces needed family-friendly intuitive control

Josh.ai and Control4 provide simple voice and app control so the family can adjust entertainment, lighting, climate, and shades without stopping what they're doing.

Standout Features

Adaptive Lighting: Powered by Ketra and Lutron HomeWorks, the lighting shifts naturally throughout the day, creating the perfect atmosphere for mornings, entertaining, or winding down.

One system: Through Control4, the entire home — lighting, climate, entertainment, security, and shades — works the same way in every room, keeping control consistent and intuitive.

Lighting Enhances Architecture and Art: Custom millwork, shelving, and the homeowner’s art collection are highlighted with precise, flattering illumination that enhances the home’s modern design.

Settings Adjust Automatically: Temperature, shades, and lighting scenes can shift on their own throughout the day, keeping the home comfortable with minimal effort.
