Our client, a family of four with small children, wanted a fully integrated 20,000 square foot home with the ability to control lighting, multi-room audio, HVAC, pool/spa, garage, and cameras from touchpanels and PCs throughout the home. This ambitious new construction project demanded clean walls (i.e. no banks of switches, volume controls, thermostats, or remotes). With a home this size, it’s hard to keep track of everyone, therefore, we integrated a telephone system so the family could easily communicate with each other. The client’s detached sports barn needed to be controlled from the main house via the Crestron control system. Other special features included in this house are a dedicated home theater, distributed video, and home computer network. Having a longstanding relationship with the architect and builder, we had previously worked with both before; therefore, many of the usual challenges, such as speaker placement, touchpanel locations, HVAC control, and wiring issues were kept to a minimum. One challenge that we faced, however, was fitting flat panel TV’s into antique furniture. Cabinets were chosen by the interior designer; therefore, we initially provided optimal TV dimensions so there wouldn’t be any “fitting” issues at the end of the project. The various integrated sub systems are managed via a Crestron control system. There are five in-wall and two wireless touchpanels
