design by Lelch, the
Lafayette Bay project stands
as a harmonious union
between architectural
brilliance and technological
sophistication. The entire
residence is a collaboration
between Lelch and the
architect/design firm
Charles R. Stinson Architecture
+ Design.
" The primary goal was to
enhance the architectural
beauty of the residence
while providing seamless
control and automation to
the homeowners, " said Rhi
Roehl, Marketing Manager
at Lelch.
While being comprised
of a mainly glass façade, the
challenge quickly became
finding a way to covertly
hide the shading solutions
to ensure breathtaking views
from every room while being
able to mitigate light and
heat gain during the day,
with Lelch settling on Lutron
shades to meet the task.
" Working closely with
the builder, we created a
solution that allowed the
shades to be virtually invisible
when fully opened but
provide the perfect barrier
from the elements when
needed, " stated Roehl.
" The Lafayette Bay project
stands as a testament to
the power of collaboration
and innovation, showcasing
how technology can be
beautifully integrated into
architectural design creating
a home that is both stunning
and highly functional. "

Maxicon

Integrated Chateau Systems in Vogue
IT WAS the unique
architecture, of
'Château Rêve that provided
a substantial challenge
for Maxicon when designing
the systems. From massive
floor-to-ceiling windows to
extensive art collections,
lighting and design were
always meant to be the
stars here, which meant
much of the guts of the
cepro.com
system needed to be kept
neatly concealed.
Working with Lutron,
Maxicon fabricated shades
that fit snugly in the massive,
oversized windows
ensuring smooth operation
and aesthetic alignment
while providing UV and heat
protection from the sunlight
throughout the day.
Each piece of artwork,
which the house was filled
with from prints to paintings
to sculptures, also received
individualized lighting conditions,
which required extensive
testing and calibration
on the Lutron QS Homeworks
system being used.
The media room, as well,
required much of the audio
equipment to be either concealed
or installed in as disLutron

creet a manner as possible. A
JBL Synthesis system, tucked
away behind acoustically
transparent material provides
the sauce for the entire entertainment
experience with
the material itself providing a
snap of color.
