The Ultimate Smart Home: Simpler, Better, Smarter

A home with an open floor plan extending to the outdoor areas.

Discover Effortless, Enjoyable Everyday Living with a Smart Home System

Technology made simple. That sounds like a contradiction, doesn’t it? Take, for instance, cars. There was a time when you could look under the hood of a vehicle and know every part. Today’s high-tech cars, also called computers on wheels, are anything but simple to identify and harder to comprehend. And yet, we get behind the wheel and drive, or sometimes, let our cars drive for us. Some owners find the high-tech features confusing and even dangerous. 

So, what does that have to do with a smart home system in your Palm Desert, CA, home? You can live in a smart home where you seem to be fighting the technology, trying to get it to do what you want. Or, you can go along with it, but you’re not always happy with the results. The better option is to experience a smart home that works seamlessly, surprising and delighting you at every turn and knowing your needs sometimes before you do.

That’s true smart home living, and that’s where AUDIOVISIONS comes in. Let’s look at what it means to live in a smart home in California that’s programmed to exceed your expectations and designed with intuitive controls.

Bring High-Fidelity Audio to Every Corner of Your Home with a Whole-Home Audio System

When you think about it, it's incredible how much we listen to some form of audio throughout the day and how that sound affects us. From the moment we wake up, we turn on our “Good Morning” playlist or the morning news. Then, at the end of the day, we watch the latest blockbuster, tune into our favorite podcast, or relax with a meditation video. 

A minute rarely goes by that we’re not listening to something, and what we listen to affects our mood and emotions. One study found that certain music stimulates the part of the brain that produces dopamine, our “feel good” hormone. No wonder our treasured vinyl collection or playlists are the first things we turn to when we need a lift! 

Now, imagine listening to this audio content fill your home—a crystal clear sound enveloping you and following you wherever you go, from your bedroom, through the living room, and out into the yard. It seems to come from nowhere and yet is everywhere. That is the power of a whole-home audio system. Let’s explore just what these systems offer and how they’re transforming homes in Malibu, CA, and the rest of the state.

DISCOVER HOW TRULY SMART LIGHTING IMPROVES THE WAY YOU LIVE

Light is the essential component of life, it affects our moods, perspective, and overall health, yet we often overlook its importance in our everyday lives. This is especially true for interior illumination with imperfect coverage and spaces that lack inspiration and vibrancy.

The world-renowned interior designer and author of multiple books on design, Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz, sums it up best by saying: “Light is the magical ingredient that makes or breaks a space; it’s one of the most important elements in all my interiors.” 

We believe that a brighter home is a more bountiful place, motivating you to make the most of each day. A Lutron lighting control system blends a sense of sensuality and practicality, whether you are beginning a new build or renovating a few rooms at a time.

WORKING WITH A PREMIER AUDIO-VISUAL INTEGRATOR ENHANCES THE WAY YOU WATCH MOVIES

Film is a cultural force like no other art form; its transformative power engages all your senses. By mixing elements of fine art like sculpture and painting with the intoxicating pull of narrative novels, the stories evoke emotions, causing you to laugh, cry, cheer - often all at once.

Movies and the way we watch have come a long way since the Lumiere Brothers showed the first of Alice Guy-Blache’s work in Paris over 150 years ago. While technology is more advanced today, the purpose is to entertain and transport the viewer into a new and far-away place.
