For this project, AUDIOVISIONS was tasked with creating customizable solutions for seven individual condo units and a common area. The goal? To connect eight separate systems through high-end technology systems while being mindful of the architecture.
One of biggest challenges the integrator faced was space to complete the installation. In commercial buildings, it’s common to have a 2–3-foot crawl space between units, but this building did not. In some areas, the space was only 2 inches, which meant AUDIOVISIONS had to get creative to ensure sound didn’t travel through the walls and ceiling into other units. Their solution was to use Acoustic Innovation springs for the drywall to make it sound absorbing, as well as installing Sonance super thin speakers to fit the space.
AUDIOVISIONS converted the centralized HVAC system into individual zones for each of the 8 areas and provided a comprehensive surveillance system. Each homeowner needed to be able to control the security of their home, manage access to the dock, back entrance, and parking area, and operate the common area controls with ease. The common area features a pool, poolside bar, boat dock, and private beach. Thanks to the integrator, they can easily do this through an easy-to-use Savant user interface.
Lighting proved to be a fun part of the project, as AUDIOVISIONS created automated lighting sequences so the exterior of the building changes colors for a specific set of holidays. If homeowners want to change the colors on their property, they can do so. Because security is integrated with lighting, in case of an emergency, all lights will turn on automatically.
The judges noted that the project has, “Thoughtful design and installation that works well.”
