Interior Designers

Who says interior design and technology can’t mix? Over half a century of experience has given us a keen sense of how to integrate technology with design and décor. We work with you and your client to blend the convenience of smart technology with style, from motorized shading to elegant wall controls to hidden TVs, speakers, and entertainment equipment. We can suggest bespoke solutions to make the client’s technology desires fit within the style and ambiance you design for their home. When it comes time to install the solutions in the home, our project managers work with you and your craftsmen to incorporate technology that blends perfectly with your design.

Architects

We believe that a collaborative effort yields the best results for our mutual client. We start working with you early in a project to simplify technology integration, ensuring you can plan for smart home features like lighting, automation, and whole-home entertainment within your architectural designs. For smooth installation and deployment, we provide detailed system schematics, wiring plans, rack elevations, networking plans, and more. We are your resource for integrating smart home technology and entertainment systems with your design vision to ensure the seamless intersection of architecture and technology.

Custom Builders

Smart automation has become more popular with homeowners in Naperville, IL and Chicagoland than ever before. As a builder, your projects should be ready for the latest smart technology. Going well beyond the standard low-voltage wiring package, we work with you to build the underlying infrastructure that supports the latest smart home features. Our detailed planning and documentation let you build a home that’s ready for the client’s smart wish list, from lighting to automated window treatment to dedicated home theaters. Our team will work with you to ensure that smart technology, entertainment, and network connectivity are an integral part of the home, planned and designed from the start – not an afterthought.
