pointed out the importance of a direct relationship
between professionals.
" When a designer, integrator and brand collaborate
in the early stages of a project, they
can save money by providing a fixed price for a
lighting system, often by avoiding mark-ups by
middlemen, " she said.
WHAT'S AHEAD?
While established brands have their smart tech
partners and in-house incubators - GE has its
FirstBuild and Arcelik its Garage Innovation Hub
- there are other sources for home tech innovations.
Earlier this year, the AIA New York Design
for Aging Committee invited architecture and
interior design students from Pratt Institute to
present concepts for smart spaces and products
that addressed the needs of elderly and physically
challenged individuals. Changxin Li, BArch '23,
envisioned a kitchen for her grandmother, who
has a visual impairment and a need to reach items
without assistance. Her design features a rail
running along the front edge of the countertop
that not only orients her grandmother in the
kitchen (with Braille-like dots on the rail signifying
the location of the stove and other areas), it
also serves as a grab bar. Voice-activated slide-out
trays speak to users, informing them about the
contents of the shelves.
Sharon L. Sherman, founder of Thyme &
Place Design and a panel participant at the
NKBA Design + Tech Summit, offered a designer's
perspective on the state of home tech,
saying, " It should be heard, felt and experienced
- but not seen. "

flanges instead of the walls
of the cooling compartment.
Positioning them to face
inward eliminates the chance
of snapping a picture of the
