Designing for Tech: Planning Smart Home Infrastructure
Technology has undoubtedly become an important part of our everyday lives. It is used in many of our parts of our homes, including entertainment, security, and communication. As a result, residential electronic systems are becoming more prevalent, and homeowners are seeking more methods to smoothly incorporate these systems into their homes. The aim is to make technology convenient and accessible while maintaining the aesthetics of the living space. Integrating technology in a way that it blends or is completely hidden enhances both functionality and the overall design of the home. This course speaks of innovative and creative ways to lessen the visual impact of electronics by making them low-profile, hidden or camouflaged, or even invisible!

Integrating Technology & Design
Integrating Technology and Design isn’t just about combining the two; it’s about creating solutions that are not only functional but also intuitive, aesthetically pleasing, and tailored to meet the needs of users – so what are people putting in their homes? It’s inevitable that your client will add some sort of technology in after you have finished the project. Bring us on earlier and we can incorporate it, thoughtfully and discreetly. By fostering a collaborative environment, we unite the vision of designers, technologists, and experts across disciplines. This synergy breeds innovation. It sparks ideas that challenge the status quo, resulting in products and services that are not just iterations but true revolutions in their respective fields.

Layered Light: Crafting Atmosphere Through Design and Technology
Lighting plays a key role in any room design, whether you’re considering how to showcase a piece of art or how to set a scene for an intimate dinner party — the ways in which lighting can affect the feel of the room are undoubtable. What many may not realize is how technology can enhance and even simplify a home’s lighting plan. Attendees will walk away from this course with an understanding of the variety of lighting design techniques that can be streamlined with the use of technology. Additionally, attendees will gain insight on how light quality is determined and how it plays into overall lighting design plans.

Elevating Outdoor Living Through Technology
Today’s modern home has various forms of integrated technology, not only inside, but outside as well, and this market has grown beyond just simple audio and video options. One thing trade partners and clients need to know is that the list of possible technologies that can be installed and controlled is long! The outdoor space is one of the fastest growing markets. This course will provide design and build partners with a familiarity with outdoor technology options and how the environment (both weather, location, and terrain) influences outdoor technology choices. Additionally, participants will discuss the infrastructure, and equipment needs and options to ensure a successful project!

Healthy Spaces: Technology’s Role in Wellness Design
Imagine technology elegantly integrated into space meant to support greater comfort, convenience, and overall quality of life. Wellness technology is about making indoor environments mimic nature and improve quality of life. Humans spend more of their time indoors than outdoors, contrary to most of our history. Wellness technology encompasses principles of sustainability and applies the intelligence of automation systems so that designers can plan solutions that are the greatest fit for each client. They can then work with the client to implement simpler solutions or partner with a qualified home technology specialist for more intuitive solutions.

Home Theaters & Media Rooms: A Design‑Forward Approach
A great film, TV, or gaming experience can be pure magic. Escape the everyday. Turn off the world. Step right into the story. It's all about sharing the experience. A media room or home theater brings people together. Right now, we're in a golden age of home entertainment. Picture and sound quality have never been better. In many cases, it's better than what you'll get at the cinema. In this course, we will discuss the different aspects and benefits of these spaces, how we set and reach performance levels, go over a variety of best practices, and dive into everything that should be considered when delivering these incredible spaces.
