Why Technology Planning During Schematic Design Preserves Your Work

You've spent months refining proportions, perfecting sightlines, and detailing custom millwork that defines the project's character. Then technology gets added as an afterthought, and suddenly equipment needs compromise carefully planned spaces, switch banks cover feature walls, and custom cabinetry requires expensive modifications. Early technology integration protects the design integrity you've worked to achieve. When we join your team during schematic design, we provide the detailed documentation and coordination that keeps technology invisible and your architectural vision intact.

Hidden Smart Home Integration: A Design Guide for Integrating Smart Home Systems in Luxury Projects

Modern luxury homes demand great technology—yet the most successful designs are those where you'd never know it's there. Clients want immersive entertainment, intelligent lighting, and whole-home control, but they don't want visible evidence of the systems that provide these experiences. For architects and interior designers, this creates a unique challenge: how do you integrate this technology without compromising your design vision?

The answer lies in considering hidden technology from the earliest stages of a project. At Aurum Home Technology, we collaborate with design teams to develop comprehensive technology plans that enhance architecture rather than compete with it. Through careful coordination of infrastructure, millwork, and finish details, we help create homes where technology disappears—leaving only the experience behind.

Creating a Stadium-Level Experience with Sweeping Video Walls and Immersive Sound

There's something about a championship game that demands more than a standard television setup. Whether it's the college football finals or the big game in February, these moments call for an experience that matches the magnitude of the event itself. A well-designed media room brings stadium energy into your home—video walls that capture every detail across an expansive canvas, sound that puts you in the middle of the action, and flexible spaces that accommodate both focused viewing and lively gatherings. For homeowners who love to entertain, the media room becomes the heart of every celebration. 

Understanding Our Approach to Smart Home Integration

All smart home projects require the same level of integration, but not all integrators approach them in the same way. Aurum Home Technology specializes in fully custom, architecturally driven homes where technology must work in concert with design vision from the earliest planning stages. This demands comprehensive engineering and coordination across multiple disciplines. Understanding whether this approach aligns with your project helps you find the right smart home partner for your needs.
