The client was building the house to sell, and homebuyers increasingly look for the latest in technology, comfort and efficiency. His goal was a home that is luxurious and easy to manage, so whoever moves in can control it all without a pile of apps and remote controls. High Tech Homes built the system around Control4, which brings everything onto one screen on a phone, tablet or wall panel.
Day to day, the house responds to the way people live. Lutron lighting and shading handle the mood and the natural light, with scenes set up for “Good Morning”, “Goodnight” and film night, each adjusting the lights, curtains, temperature and sound with a single touch. Heatmiser controls the heating and cooling room by room, so the temperature changes when people leave home or go to bed.
Sonos brings music to every room, so you can play different tracks in different spaces or the same one throughout. Sonance speakers and Denon equipment drive the family room’s audio and video, giving it a real cinema feel. Security completes the picture, with Hikvision cameras and door access controlled from the same app.
The aim was a home that is smart, easy to update and ready for new devices, so a buyer gets something modern and efficient from day one.
Centralized Control4 automation, premium Lutron lighting, and whole-home audio/video were positioned as a cohesive luxury package designed to differentiate the property and support a stronger sale price.
Lutron shading and lighting were tightly integrated, with blinds managing glare and natural light during the day and lighting scenes automatically shifting to warmer, more atmospheric levels as curtains close in the evening.
Global scenes like "Good Morning" and "Goodbye" were programmed to coordinate temperature, shading, lighting, and AV power states together through Control4, reducing daily interaction to a single command.
Discreet linear fittings were used to wash down the brick facade, creating a soft, even glow that emphasizes texture and vertical lines while keeping the light sources themselves concealed.
