Heath Childree and Toby Zangenberg are proud to announce their recent partnership to provide fully customizable home automation technologies to clientele in Big Sky, the greater Gallatin Valley and throughout the country. With 16 and 23 years of industry experience respectively, Zangenberg and Childree are veterans at designing innovative lighting, audio/visual, utilities and environmental automation systems reflective as much of the home as the homeowner. With each new project completed, Ambiance further solidifies itself as the premier provider of commercial and residential consulting, lighting design and automation systems in Big Sky and beyond, an accolade hard earned through years of personalized service, coordination and collaboration with community partners.
Childree. Taking the architect’s vision into account, Zangenberg, Childree and their team consult with their clients throughout the planning and building process, facilitating communication between craftsmen and coordinating individual projects.“We optimize both indoor and outdoor spaces, particularly focusing on the architecture of the living spaces to harmonize the structural design and artistic elements while creating points of aesthetic interest,” says Zangenberg.“Bringing life to the home through automation,” the team works closely with each project’s architect, bringing each architectural canvas to life through synergistically integrated systems supporting access, security, service, expansion, and the ultimate ease of use.
Artists at heart, the pair treat each new build as their muse, each new client the palette and the final architectural plans a canvas upon which they realize the life and years soon to be lived therein. And, with the sprint at which technology continues to advance in home automation, these works of art are only becoming more refined, increasingly elegant in their comprehensive attention to the minutia of life and lifestyle.
But the technological advances are only as valuable as the minds and hands employing them, an arena in which Ambiance, once again, finds itself center stage. In fact, part of Childree and Zangenberg’s mutual love for this work comes from the constantly changing, always improving range of possibilities and continued need for education, adaptation and creativity.“I always find something that I’m not looking for,” jokes Zangenberg as he points to some of the new styles and innovations in one of many bible-sized catalogues he consults on a regular basis.“The technology is always evolving and the needs and scenarios ever-changing. It’s a surprisingly exciting field of work.”
Home automation is an area of exponential technological growth and evolution. Whether the client has a new construction, an older home with conventional switching, or an outdated system, Ambiance can design a system to efficiently and effectively automate any given circumstance.“We call it the The Art of Discovery,” remarks
Each project involves equal parts problem solving, innovation and application, elements Ambiance includes in every one of its detailed electrical and low-voltage design plans. Providing layers of information, Ambiance’s plans are both exhaustive in detail and easily readable, with each layer of information cleanly illustrated and labeled.
