The SimpleHome Integrated Lighting Program

  What is The SimpleHome Integrated Lighting Program?

Lighting plays a key role in any space, indoors and out. For most of us, it is the first element we feel.  It defines the intent of the space: for recreation, entertainment, relaxation or work. But to make a lighting design truly shine, it takes more than just light fixtures. It combines all aspects of light control: luminaires, shades, drapes, and automated windows. In addition, and very importantly, it involves members of the project team right from the beginning: Architect, Builder, Interior Designer, Lighting Designer, Electrician and Client.

 

This cohesive approach avoids the many pitfalls of residential lighting and results in superior long-term performance. There are varying levels of expertise among the professionals on a project. SimpleHome acts as the Technology Integrator, supplementing and coordinating the team. We recommend a certified lighting consultant when the budget allows. When it doesn’t, our lighting specialist works alongside our shade specialist and the project team. This big picture approach considers not just the technology but the time of day and year and position to the sun. A control system, e.g. Lutron, conducts this orchestra for carefree operation.

The Magic of Invisible Loudspeakers: When Aesthetics are Paramount

The Magic of Invisible Loudspeakers: When Aesthetics are Paramount

You’re at a friend’s party and loving the music they’re playing. But when you look around, you can’t find the loudspeakers. Where is the sound coming from? The room is perfect: the design, the detail, the furnishings, the art. You look again. Nothing. Not a music speaker in sight, yet the sound is marvelous!  That’s the job of Invisible Speakers. They don’t just “blend” into the room, they disappear!

 

What Are Invisible Loudspeakers exactly?

 

As the name suggests, invisible speakers are built-in and can’t be seen. They are designed to be hidden from view and engineered to work without any appearance. They are part of the construction process. The frame is installed in the open walls, then the speaker is installed when the plasterboard is in, and then comes a Level 5 skim coat.  In other words, it becomes part of the wall. When the job is done, the furniture is moved in, the party starts, and the room comes alive with the sound of music. No large box speakers taking up floor space or detracting from the aesthetic of the designer’s vision.
