Beautiful spaces.
Simple everyday living.
You shouldn’t have to choose between a beautifully designed home and technology that makes life better. We bring the two together: lighting that sets the mood, shades that respond to your routine, and sound you hear without seeing the speakers.
For homeowners, we turn your ideas into systems designed around your lifestyle. For designers, architects, and custom builders, we’re the technology partner who helps protect the vision. From our Birmingham home base to Lake Martin and Smith Lake, we connect the details so the experience feels simple.

A few things you might be wondering
Let’s start here.
When should we involve a technology integrator?
During design is ideal. Early conversations let us coordinate lighting control, shade locations, wiring, and audio/video placement with your architect, designer, and builder before finishes are complete.
Can technology blend into our interiors?
Yes. We specialize in options such as invisible speakers, custom sound bars, and custom framed TVs. We’ll explore the right approach for your room, performance needs, and finishes.
Do you work directly with our designer or builder?
Yes. If you’re a designer, architect, or builder, we work alongside you to coordinate technology with the project vision. If you’re a homeowner, we can collaborate with your existing team so the home looks right and the systems are intuitive for you to use.
What happens after installation?
We help you get comfortable using your system, and our service memberships offer ongoing care. Depending on your plan, benefits include 24/7 basic support, tech reviews, monitoring, and priority scheduling. Compare the plans to choose the support that fits your home.
Do you take projects at Lake Martin and Smith Lake?
Yes. Alongside greater Birmingham—including Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills, Homewood, and Hoover—we serve residential projects at Lake Martin and Smith Lake. Call us to discuss your home and project plans.
