At a glance

Early involvement gave HTS the opportunity to coordinate controls, displays, audio, networking, and camera coverage with the architecture before construction began.

Lighting Control

Control locations and scenes planned during design for intuitive everyday use.

Control4

One familiar interface brings the home’s lighting, entertainment, and routines together.

TVs & Video

Displays are integrated throughout gathering spaces for flexible entertainment.

Whole-House Audio

Music extends through interior and outdoor living areas without visual clutter.

Network & Wi-Fi

A reliable wired and wireless foundation supports every connected experience.

Surveillance

Thoughtfully planned camera coverage adds awareness around the property.

The vision

Make entertaining feel effortless—from the first arrival to the last song.

The owners envisioned a lake house designed for gathering. By joining the project during design, HTS could plan every keypad, display, speaker, wireless access point, equipment location, and camera before walls and finishes were in place.
