Amaretto Automated Retreat
This European custom villa with wood and stone elements brings to life this tech savvy homeowner’s vision to come home to an automated retreat.
On the first floor, we installed a Lutron Key Pad in the entry way with a “Home” button that, when selected, illuminates a pathway from the entry to the bedroom. The family room boasts a floor to ceiling stone fireplace with a 65” Sony 4K HDTV and a Sonos Playbar. All the interior lights are controlled with RTI Remotes throughout the home in addition to Lutron switches and keypads.
The second level showcases a great entertaining space complete with a sports watching room, a full bar, and a separate private theatre. Both spaces have 75” Sony 4K HDTV’s and are studded with in-ceiling Origin Acoustic Speakers. All of the equipment is centrally located in a closet with a Luxul wireless access point and robust router.
The homeowner can retreat to his home to relax, or entertain in this masterfully designed home. From start to finish we work along with the Custom Builder putting our client’s ideas, and desires first. After all the planning and building process it is great to see all our client’s dreams come to fruition.
We installed Origin Acoustics 8" in-ceiling speakers in the Study, Kitchen, Patio, Master Bedroom, Master Bathroom, and Game Room (5 speakers) as well as a pair of outdoor surface mount speakers in the Gazebo, and all seven zones will have their own Sonos amplifiers which allow for all the rooms to play independently of each other or all play the same thing with their own volume levels.
In the Family Room, we mounted a 65" TV on the wall with a Sonos soundbar to enhance the TV sound. We located the equipment in the nearby equipment closet and set up a RTI remote to control everything.
In the Master Bedroom, we mounted a 65" TV on the wall, remotely located the equipment in the equipment closet, and controlled the master bedroom AV with another RTI remote.
In the Media Room, we installed a 75" 4K LED TV on the wall with 5.1 surround sound, controlling the room with an a RTI remote, and located all of the equipment in the equipment closet.
For Surveillance, we installed a full digital camera system with 4 high definition cameras and a network video recorder so that our client can view his system from anywhere in the world with internet connection.
We programmed an iPad so that our client can also control everything in the home with the touch of a virtual button.
Lastly, we installed a robust network in his home so that he has excellent WiFi coverage and very fast speeds on hardwired devices.
Our client is a California transplant and was constantly on the go, so everything needed to be turn-key. The homeowner had a very specific vision to come home to a relaxing retreat, all while having automated home living at the touch of a button. To create this atmosphere, one of the custom solutions we installed was a Lutron Key Pad in the entry way with a “Home” button that, when selected, illuminates a pathway from the entry to the bedroom. The systems we integrated include:
-Whole Home Audio & Video
-Lighting Control
-Outdoor Audio
-Security & Camera System
- Robust Home Networking
We always listen to our clients’ needs and desires and carefully engineer a system just for them based upon each request.
