BEST WHOLE-HOUSE/SMART HOME UNDER $150K | GOLD
Balancing Functionality &
Elegance on a Tight Budget
THIS PROJECT BEGAN with a simple but transformative change: eliminating traditional
electrical switches in favor of a sophisticated keypad lighting system, which
offered both style and streamlined functionality.
Linear lighting and canvas LEDs were integrated into the design of various rooms to
strike the perfect mix between accentuation and ambiance, says Justin Dohman, owner of
Elite AV & Lighting.
" In the world of high-end audio-visual and lighting design, $100K may sound substantial,
but it's a testament to skill and collaboration when it's translated into a seamless symphony
of aesthetics and function, " Dohman says. " This project presented the unique challenge of
delivering uncompromised quality within a stringent budget. "
With that somewhat limited budget Dohman noted, the company had to figure out how
to create that balance between functionality and aesthetic elegance. This required collaborating
with Atwood Custom Homes and their interior designer.
However, Elite AV & Lighting was the " maestro in this orchestra of various trades, "
Dohman proudly remarks, scrutinizing every detail of the project to ensure the technology
worked well with the architecture and design.
" The result is a home that doesn't merely dazzle the eye but resonates
with the soul, all while keeping the scales balanced on the budgetary front, "
Dohman says. " A true masterpiece of compromise and collaboration. "
To do this, the group used linear lighting and canvas LEDs to integrate
lighting into the design of various rooms to create an atmosphere featuring
the flamboyance of Las Vegas with the subtlety of modern design.
The more dazzling features include an entertainment room with three
85-inch Samsung TVs harmonized with a Paradigm Elite surround-sound
system, all powered by a Denon AV receiver.
Beyond that room, Paradigm Elite ceiling speakers are found in nearly
every space, including the living room, kitchen, patio and pool area
and master suite.
" Visitors to this home are often left awestruck, not by glaring
screens or bulky sound systems, but by the immersive experience of a
space where technology serves silently in the background, amplifying
the ambiance without intruding upon it, " Dohman adds. " It's where
the allure of Vegas is sensed, not seen - a true testament to the art
of hidden tech. "
