Wellness Center-Global Award & Home of the year!
Challenge
Our client wanted a wellness retreat at home that would be relaxing, comfortable, and simple to control. The goal was to create spaces for meditation, massage, workouts, and family time, all integrated seamlessly with technology. With multiple indoor and outdoor areas, including pools, hot tubs, a gym, and a sports court, the client needed a system that would manage lighting, audio, shading, and home automation in a way that was effortless and intuitive. They envisioned warm lighting, immersive music, and privacy control, but had not previously experienced panelized lighting and needed guidance on how to make everything work cohesively.
We collaborated closely with the client, Garrett Wilson Builders, and Christian Rae Studio to address challenges such as complex wall systems, large open ceilings, and integrating technology into spaces where design and function were equally important. We also had to ensure that adjustments could be made easily as the space was used and the client’s needs evolved.
Solution
We implemented a Crestron Home processor as the central hub, providing intuitive control over lighting, motorized shades, and audio in nearly every space. The system allows the client to program favorite scenes, such as “Day Spa,” “Entertain,” and “Relax,” which configure lighting and music across indoor and outdoor areas with a single touch.
To ensure seamless integration, we used panelized lighting, Cameo keypads, and touchscreens, carefully planning for locations and load requirements. Battery-powered shades were installed after construction was completed to accommodate late-stage requests without disrupting the build. Music was distributed throughout the property with multiple zones, creating an immersive experience in the pools, gym, sports court, and lounge areas.
Excerpts from the client testimonial highlight the impact of these solutions:
“The products Smarthome installed were amazing, but they were especially effective at improving our quality of life through the knowledge and preparation of the team.”
“The mood and enjoyment of our estate was really influenced by the lighting as well as the music. Everything was customized, interconnected, and at our fingertips.”
The result is a home that feels effortless, comfortable, and restorative. The system enhances wellness and supports the client’s lifestyle without complexity. As a bonus, this project was recognized with the 2025 Global Crestron Health and Wellness Home of the Year Award, a testament to the thoughtful planning, collaboration, and attention to detail that went into every aspect of the build.
