THE INITIAL concept
of this rebuild - a
hand-drawn idea on a piece
of paper - was to create a
ceiling that emanated light.
Translating that vision into
reality required close
collaboration, clear communication,
and a lot of compromise,
according to Elite AVL
Owner Justin Dohman.
The project's most significant
challenge was the
Luxury
Home Glows
in Accent
Lighting
Harmony
PROVIDENTIAL
Custom Homes
approached Elite AV &
Lighting for a new build,
citing that the homeowner
had been inspired by one of
the integrator's previous
lighting projects. " The vision
was to weave accent lighting
seamlessly into every nook
and cranny of the residence.
Achieving this required us to
foster deep collaboration
with a plethora of professioncepro.com
als, "
Elite AVL Owner Justin
Dohman states.
Another obstacle
Dohman's team faced
was the lack of closets or
spaces to accommodate the
required automation gear.
Elite AVL created a dedicated
space within an office
cabinet, concealing the
entire rack.
The custom lighting
design featuring Colorbeam
and American Lighting LEDs
aims to captivate. It starts
with the cove lighting, which
weaves its way across six
raised ceilings. The kitchen
also glows with illumination.
" What truly sets this
home apart is the unwavering
commitment to uniformity
and harmony, " Dohman
says. " Every light source in
the residence is fine-tuned
to emanate a color temperature
of 3500K, striking the
perfect balance between
installation of thousands of
feet of seamless LED tape,
he says. Working hand-inhand
with the designer and
builder, Elite AVL deciphered
the intricacies of incorporating
the lighting within the
millwork, Dohman says.
" The true test was coordinating
with the millwork
company, ensuring that
each LED tape was meticulously
embedded within
custom-cut wall panels,
all of which were to be
installed onsite. The precise
positioning was crucial, as
even minor discrepancies
could jeopardize the overall
design. " Then, there's the
pièce de resistance: the wall
accent lighting. It not only
complements the ceiling
but also ignites curiosity,
" leaving many wondering
about the magic behind its
creation, " he enthuses.
Dohman says the Control4
integration is what truly
makes the project come together.
" The lighting isn't just
about visual appeal but about
user experience, " he states.
" Every light is dimmable,
programmable, and entirely
under the homeowner's command,
offering an unmatched
blend of luxury, innovation,
and functionality. "
