Automated Living · Custom Integration & Interior Design · Southern California
Engineered to the last cable. Designed to the last detail.
Networks, audio, video, lighting, and security — designed as one quiet system, built to enterprise standards, and made to disappear into the architecture.
Start a project01 · Philosophy
Technology that knows when to disappear.
A house full of technology should still feel like a house. We design systems that do their work and then get out of the way — no tangle of remotes, no walls of switches, no dead zones or daily reboots.
Everything is engineered to the floor plan and built to enterprise standards, so the things you rely on simply work — quietly, every day, for years.
When the room itself is part of the brief, our in-house design studio shapes it alongside the systems — so the technology is planned with the materials and the light, not added on after.
02 · What we do
Designed to disappear. Built to stay yours.
Dead WiFi zones. A wall of remotes and a different app for everything. Subscriptions and surprise lockouts. Systems that need babysitting. Five vendors who don't talk to each other. We design these out from the start.
Modular by design
Add, swap, and expand one piece at a time. Nothing has to be torn out to grow.
Open, not proprietary
We favor open APIs and standards, so your systems talk to each other — and to whatever comes next. No lock-in.
A functional eye
An engineer designs around how you actually live, not just the spec sheet.
Form as well as function
The studio weighs materials, light, and how it looks in the room, so the technology fits the space instead of fighting it.
03 · The approach
Engineer-led, to the last cable.
Our foundation is in IT, not retail. Since 2016 we've designed networks and systems the way an engineer would — surveyed first, documented, built with enterprise hardware, and labeled so cleanly the rack looks designed.
It means fewer surprises, faster fixes, and a system that grows with you. And when something does happen, our support is built on that same IT foundation — we know stuff happens, and we're here.
04 · Two crafts, three ways in
Where would you like to begin?
Residential
Future-proof the whole home — from low-voltage wiring to highly customized, one-touch automation.
View servicesHome theater & distributed video
From a single room to a multi-zone system, designed around the architecture and the way you watch.
Whole-home audio
Music that follows you room to room, with speakers chosen to disappear into the ceiling.
Lighting & automation
Lutron lighting and one-touch scenes — the whole home on a single, simple control.
Surveillance
Cameras recording on your own hardware, viewable anywhere, with no surprise lockouts.
Access control
Locks, gates, and video intercom on one system — see who's at the door and let them in from anywhere.
Networking & WiFi
Enterprise-grade, centrally managed, and designed to the floor plan. No dead zones, no daily reboots.
Low-voltage wiring
Clean, labeled infrastructure for a new build or a retrofit — the backbone everything depends on.
Commercial
Enterprise-grade networking, AV, surveillance, and failover for businesses that can't go down.
View servicesNetworking
Enterprise networking that is secure, centrally managed, and kept current against the latest threats.
Multi-zone audio
Commercial audio designed to your space and specification, zone by zone.
Video
Displays and distribution that deliver menus, content, and information cleanly to every screen.
Surveillance
Scalable camera systems built around the realities of a commercial site.
Access control
Badge, fob, or phone entry on hardware you own — a full audit trail, with no per-door license fees.
Lighting control
Automated lighting that lowers energy use and runs itself.
Low-voltage wiring
Clean cable management, labeled at both ends, built to be maintained.
POS prewire
Reliable point-of-sale infrastructure; experts in prewiring for Toast.
5G failover
Backup internet that keeps critical systems online through an outage.
Interior Design
Automated Living Studio — where the room and the technology are designed as one.
Inside the Studio →05 · How we work
Three steps, no surprises.
Survey & design
We visit, survey the space, and design the system to your floor plan — not a generic package off a shelf.
A detailed proposal
We think of everything up front and put it in writing. No nickel-and-diming, no mid-project surprises.
Installation & support
Our team arrives on time, installs cleanly, and stays reachable long after the last cable is run.
06 · Why us
A foundation in IT, since 2016.
We're a Southern California custom-integration firm built on enterprise IT. We use hardware we'd run ourselves, document everything, and stand behind it — quietly, for the long run.
