We partnered with Lavish, a full-service design firm based in Raleigh, NC that designs residential and commercial interior design projects to achieve a high functioning & beautiful design in this new construction home. The homeowner wanted full home automation across two properties on the site with complete control through just one app using a single network. One challenge was the location of the Man Cave/Toy Barn which is not attached to the main home. In addition to the full suite of home automation, they wanted their open great room to be the family hub for immersive gaming and the full Dolby Atmos home theater experience. Control4 home automation was chosen as the smart home system. Control4’s panelized lighting system was used to reduce wall clutter along with their video distribution system to keep all of the technology components in a single location. Audio Advice was able to connect the two properties using fiber optic cable and keep them both on the same network and control system. One of the key features was taking what would have been banks of 6-12 different light switches and putting them into one simple scene-based keypad. We’re able to set up different lighting environments based on the time of day or use of room. An entertainment pavilion with outdoor heaters, controlled ceiling fans, and full surround sound brings indoor living outside. A full outdoor kitchen features a sink, grill, refrigerator, full-size outdoor television, outdoor speakers, and outdoor seating. A high performance outdoor speaker system fills the rest of the property with Sonance landscaping speakers that feature 8 hidden satellite speakers and two underground 12-inch subwoofers that provide concert-level sound & immerse the entire space.
