Rancho Santa Fe Residence

The homeowner wanted something modern and highly functional. We developed several unique control concepts for their home, merging the user experience of the Apple iPad with the shear power of Crestron and delivered a system that won't be forgotten.

We worked closely with the homeowner to deliver exactly the kind of control they wanted. Working through several design iterations, we developed segments of the system and reviewed them with the homeowner. We then took his feedback and used it to improve successive iterations. Not all users think alike, but using this method we were able to custom build the homeowner's dream system and ultimately deliver a solution that is intuitive and straightforward to them.

This Crestron system allows the homeowner to send video to any room in the house and select the music to be played in any combination of rooms, all from any of 16 touch screen interfaces. Many of the touch screens are in-wall, strategically located throughout the residence. The other 9 user interfaces are Apple iPads which offer the convenience of wireless control of the home from just about anywhere.

To further improve the user experience, we developed custom graphics and system features with the homeowners input. The system includes hidden security and lighting control features along with advanced movie and music server functionality.
