Distributed Audio Video

Home entertainment is a staple in luxury homes, but few homeowners enjoy the cluttered appearance of large, clunky electronics in every room. Audio video distribution combined with hidden technology streamlines home entertainment systems while preserving a home’s beautiful interior design. 

A distributed AV system centralizes clunky source components to a tucked-away AV supply closet. It relies on a multi-channel matrix switch to send audio and video signals to TVs and speakers in every room of the house. With hidden technology design, TVs and other display screens are elegantly concealed behind artwork and mirrors or in custom cabinets and mounts. Architectural in-wall and in-ceiling speakers produce even, enveloping sound that’s heard but not seen.

Finally, a home automation system like Savant provides centralized control over all entertainment systems from a single smart device. With the press of a button on a smartphone, tablet, keypad, or remote, homeowners can send music, movies, TV shows, and other forms of media to any room in the house. Another button press will silently hide TVs and displays when they’re not in use. 

Lighting Control

Lighting is a central design element of any luxury home. The right lighting provides illumination for important tasks, showcases art and furnishings, makes spaces feel warm and inviting, evokes a specific mood or ambiance, and even impacts mood and energy levels throughout the day. A centralized lighting control system makes it easy for homeowners to transform the look and feel of spaces with the press of a button.

With centralized lighting control, cluttered banks of switches and dimmers are replaced with custom, wall-mounted keypads that control multiple lights simultaneously. Keypad buttons can be programmed with personalized lighting settings that instantly set the scene for dinner, relaxing, throwing a party, or watching a movie. Additionally, homeowners can adjust individual lights at any time using a smartphone app, tablet, or remote. 

Custom Window Treatments

Sleek and silent motorized window treatments are a significant upgrade from unwieldy manual shades with tangled cords. Custom window treatments allow homeowners to use a smartphone or remote to open and close shades, blinds, and drapery to precise levels with the press of a button. Additionally, motorized shades can be programmed to raise and lower on a specific schedule that corresponds with the time of day or the sun’s position in the sky.

Motorized window treatments come in a variety of materials, colors, styles, and opacities to match any interior design. And many brands offer options for oddly shaped windows like skylights and arch windows. They’re a beautiful and convenient smart solution for controlling the amount of natural light homes receive.
