SAV Big Sky Experience Center

// Big Sky, MT

// 2025

Designed to Inspire. Built for Connection.

Some things are simply better experienced than explained. Our Big Sky Experience Center was created to bring thoughtfully integrated technology to life, giving homeowners, architects, interior designers, and builders an opportunity to see, hear, and experience firsthand how technology can complement great design and enhance the way we live.

Far more than a traditional showroom, the space celebrates the relationship between technology, architecture, and design. From intelligent architectural lighting and integrated lighting control to motorized shading, immersive audio, entertainment, and automation, every detail has been thoughtfully considered. It's a place to explore what's possible, discover new ideas, and experience how technology can work seamlessly within a space without taking away from the architecture or design that makes it special.

The Experience Center is also a place for connection, collaboration, and inspiration. For SAV, it's where we bring clients and project teams together to explore ideas, experience new technologies, work through design details, and host educational events and demonstrations. Equally important, we welcome our industry partners to make the space their own, whether hosting client meetings, gathering after a site visit to discuss observations and next steps, or simply connecting with their teams. It's a warm, welcoming environment that feels like an extension of their own studios and offices, designed to encourage great conversations and inspire better design.

At its heart, the Big Sky Experience Center reflects our belief that the best ideas come from shared perspectives, and the most exceptional projects are built through great collaboration.

// Behind the Experience

The Big Sky Experience Center brings together an exceptional collection of technology, materials, and craftsmanship. Audio and visual experiences feature Steinway, Barco, McIntosh, Sonus faber, James Loudspeaker, and Samsung Frame TVs, while architectural lighting from Ketra, Lucifer, DMF, MP Lighting, Eklipse, Modular, QTL, and Diode LED demonstrates the possibilities of layered light, all supported by Lutron lighting control. Savant and Basalte provide intuitive control experiences, complemented by motorized drapery hardware from Bradley and recessed shading solutions from Future Automation. Equally important are the design details and partnerships that bring the space together, including Studio Como, Textures Flooring, IGS Stone, Trufig, Big Sky Build, cabinetry by Dave Strobel of Modan Interiors, and appliances and plumbing from Ferguson. Artwork from Echo Arts, Jen Alden, and Placed completes an environment where technology, architecture, and design come together naturally.
