Built for How Austin Luxury Homes Are Lived In

In West Lake Hills, we routinely engineer home technology for heavily treed lots, elevation changes, detached guest spaces, outdoor living areas, and large properties where reliable coverage and thoughtful infrastructure matter from the start.

In Barton Creek and Spanish Oaks, we plan systems for large custom residences where lighting, shading, networking, security, audio, and control need to work together without compromising the architecture. In Tarrytown, remodels often require careful coordination with architects and builders so every wire path, device location, and visible element feels intentional.

Certified System Design

We design around proven, professionally supported platforms such as Lutron, Ketra, Josh.ai, UniFi, Alarm.com, Sonos, and other purpose-built subsystems selected for long-term reliability, serviceability, and performance.

Documented Infrastructure

We plan and document the infrastructure behind the system, including structured cabling, rack locations, network architecture, power requirements, and subsystem connections, so the home can be serviced, expanded, and upgraded over time.

Infrastructure Before Apps

Luxury home technology works best when the foundation is designed first. We begin with stable power, structured cabling, enterprise-grade networking, rack locations, and documented subsystem plans so lighting, shading, security, surveillance, access, audio, video, and voice control can perform reliably on their own and work together as one system.

What We Design and Integrate

Smarter Homes designs and integrates the core systems that make a luxury home reliable, intuitive, and easier to live with. Each subsystem is planned to perform well on its own, then coordinated as part of a complete home technology strategy.

Enterprise-Grade Home Networking

We design enterprise-grade home networks for reliable coverage, fast performance, and secure connectivity across the entire property. The network is planned to support streaming, remote work, security cameras, lighting control, motorized shades, audio, and other connected systems without becoming the weak link in the home.

We plan network architecture around the size and construction of the property, including access point placement, wired connections, equipment locations, and coverage for outdoor living areas, detached structures, and other high-demand spaces.

Audio, Video & Home Theater

We design integrated audio and video systems for everyday listening, entertaining, dedicated media rooms, outdoor spaces, and private theaters. From architectural speakers and whole-home audio to high-performance video and cinema systems, each solution is planned around the room, the architecture, and how you actually use the space.

Whole-Home & Architectural Audio

We design discreet, high-performance audio for kitchens, living spaces, outdoor areas, and whole-home listening, using architectural speakers and system designs that preserve the look of the room.

Media Rooms & Private Cinema

From casual media rooms to dedicated private theaters, we design video, audio, lighting, control, and room performance as one coordinated experience.

Lutron Lighting Control & Ketra

We design Lutron lighting control systems that simplify large homes, reduce wall clutter, and make everyday lighting easier to use. With Lutron HomeWorks and Ketra, lighting can be planned around architecture, natural daylight, entertaining, daily routines, and the way each room is actually used.

For larger custom homes, panelized lighting with Lutron HomeWorks can centralize lighting loads, reduce switch banks, and create cleaner keypad layouts. Ketra adds tunable white and full-spectrum light that can shift throughout the day and support different moods, materials, and architectural finishes.

Motorized Window Treatments

We design motorized window treatments that manage daylight, privacy, glare, and heat while preserving the room's architecture. From roller shades and drapery to wood blinds, cellular shades, and specialty applications, we select each treatment to complement the windows, furnishings, and how the space is used.

For new construction and remodels, we coordinate shade pockets, power, wiring, fabric selections, and control locations early so the finished system feels built into the home, not added later.

Security & Home Automation Foundation

We design security systems as part of the home’s overall technology foundation, coordinating intrusion detection, surveillance, access control, gates, garage doors, environmental monitoring, and remote alerts so the system is easier to manage and more dependable.

During new construction and remodels, we plan camera locations, door and gate control, wiring, power, network connections, and equipment placement early so the security system is integrated cleanly into the architecture and can be serviced or expanded over time.
