Technology Designer Performance Home Award
2024 Technology Designer Performance Home Award
We are thrilled and humbled to announce that SAV Digital Environments has won the 2024 Technology Designer Performance Home Award for Best Technology Design & Integration at CEDIA this year. This recognition is a testament to our commitment to excellence and the dedication of our entire team, as well as our incredible partners. For us, winning awards isn’t just about the accolades, though we deeply appreciate the recognition. It’s about celebrating the hard work, the late nights, and the relentless pursuit of perfection that go into every project we undertake.
Our award-winning project exemplifies the seamless integration of smart home technology into a luxurious residential space, creating a harmonious blend of rustic charm and modern conveniences. Designed to evoke the cozy allure of a remote Montana getaway, this home offers state-of-the-art systems that redefine contemporary living. From whole-home audio and advanced lighting control to centralized management of audio, video, security, and HVAC, every detail was meticulously crafted to meet the client’s vision and enhance their lifestyle.
One of the standout features of this project is its sophisticated audio/video system. High-quality, discreet speakers are seamlessly integrated throughout the home, both indoors and out, providing an uninterrupted music experience. Although the client chose not to have a dedicated home theater, their rec room was designed to be the ultimate entertainment space, featuring high-end TVs, surround sound, gaming integration, and custom lighting scenes to set the mood. The lighting control system allows for extensive customization, with user-defined preferences and sophisticated scene control that ensures flawless functionality throughout the home.
The central control system serves as the nerve center of the home, managing not only audio and video distribution but also fireplaces, heaters, TVs, HVAC, and security. This integration allows for easy management of the entire home from a single, intuitive interface, making complex tasks simple and accessible. Security was a critical element in this project, given the home’s remote wilderness location. Perimeter cameras, accessible from any TV, provide enhanced security and awareness, while automated routines like lights turning on and off at designated times create the illusion of occupancy for added safety. Advanced sensors and surveillance systems are also in place to monitor hazardous wildlife, ensuring the safety of the home and its occupants.
A critical aspect of this project was the collaborative effort with our trade partners, including Pearson Design Group, Onsite Management (OSM), and Eberlein Design Consultants. Together, we worked to ensure that every element of technology complemented the home’s aesthetic, such as integrating automated window treatments that disappear into custom wood valances, matching the natural materials of the space, and positioning audio/video equipment discreetly to preserve the immersive environment. These partnerships were vital to achieving the seamless blend of technology and design that defines this award-winning project.
For SAV Digital Environments, this award is not just a reflection of our work; it is a celebration of the collective effort, expertise, and passion of our team and partners. We take immense pride in the collaboration, creativity, and commitment that brought this project to life. It is these qualities that continue to drive us, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in technology design and integration.
Winning the 2024 Technology Designer Performance Home Award at CEDIA is a moment of pride, but more importantly, it is a tribute to the blood, sweat, and tears that go into every project we undertake. We are excited to continue pushing the envelope, delivering exceptional smart home experiences, and celebrating the journey alongside our clients and partners. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this remarkable achievement—we couldn’t have done it without you.
