A HOME WITH MANY DIFFERENT FEATURES CREATES A CUSTOM EXPERIENCE FOR ALL

Ultimate Crestron Home winner demonstrates how the platform can do it all by balancing work and life in a residence that doubles as a family home and a showhouse.

Located in Rye, New York, this impeccable family home is also a showhouse. This home stands out from the rest, as interior designers and a design-build contractor had a hand in its development. The showhouse, Stoneledge, has the perfect balance of luxury, functionality, and technology.

THE CHALLENGE:

The homeowner envisioned this project as a space that would capture the family’s fun and laid-back lifestyle while also providing a comfortable life for them. They needed technology that would blend with their daily activities and enhance their way of living. Since this home doubles as a showhouse, it was also important to implement an automation system that could grow continuously with the business and family.

THE SOLUTION

Alpesh Patel, founder of Enhanced Home, wanted to turn his personal living space into a showroom that would demonstrate the advanced abilities of home automation technologies and serve as a useful tool for his business. The Enhanced Home team fully embraced the vision and the two roles this living space is meant to serve. Patel and his team tailored the automation system to his family’s specific requirements while designing a flexible system that could easily be expanded or altered, as necessary.

THE TECHNOLOGY

The core of the automation setup relied on the Crestron Home® OS, providing a centralized and intuitive interface for controlling and managing all aspects of the home. From family home to showhouse, this masterpiece includes an impressive home gym, a serene home office, spacious walk-in closets, playful bedrooms, and entertainment areas galore. The Crestron Home system is flexible, easily integrating with other technologies to create one cohesive smart home platform. Throughout the indoor entertainment spaces and the outdoor patio and basketball court, Crestron touch screens, keypads, and the Crestron Home app are control points for the family to manage their experience.

The homeowners use Crestron DM NVX® AV-over-IP technology to distribute seamless streaming of high-quality video content throughout the home. Pairing the video content with Crestron DM NAX™ Audio-over-IP technology synchronizes audio with video in various areas of the house, delivering immersive entertainment further amplified by the home’s vaulted ceilings for a perfect surround sound experience. The distribution of audio and video ranges from the bedrooms and the living room to the outdoor entertainment area.

Fitting neatly within the residence are the lighting and shading elements simplify everyday life for the homeowners. Crestron Cameo® keypads are placed in each room for lighting and shading control. Automated lighting, which is present throughout the home and boasts its own set of lighting scenes and schedules tailored to various times of day, enhances the ambiance. The homeowners prioritized energy efficiency and privacy and installed custom motorized shades and drapery. Custom shade pockets ensure a clean and discreet appearance when the shades are not in use. To prevent light from entering the bedrooms, shades have integrated side channels to facilitate a complete blackout experience.
